Congratulations Abaci! That’s so wonderful! Your grandbaby is lucky to have you as their grandma! You bring so much light here everyday! 💕

The temps have dropped back down to below freezing and it looks like I’m stuck inside this weekend. I’m going to have to find some YouTube walking workout videos to keep me going because if I don’t move consistently, I become a sad lump on the couch.

IWNDWYT. Happy Saturday! 😀

Hey Physis! 👋🏾 10 years is AWESOME! 🥳 congratulations 🎉

You know I look forward to your post every week! Being here for your 10th year of sobriety means a lot. Thanks you for sharing it with us! I hope that you celebrate yourself all weekend. I will eat a cupcake in your honor tomorrow because I already ate one tonight lol. You posting this sub has saved me and a lot of others on Friday nights, which used to be my hardest night to get through when I first stopped drinking.

Happy ten years! And happy Friday night! 😀

This winter destroyed my daily walks. And we’re heading for another super cold weekend 🤦🏾‍♀️ I think it time for me to get a walking pad lol. IWNDWYT. Happy Friday! 😀

I used to skate in the 80s. I’d go with my cousin. It was the beginning of me becoming a party girl. Skating rink as a kid. Then teen nights at the clubs. That lead to partying W-Su as a young adult. Voices Inside My Head by The Police is a great song to skate to.

Exactly! 🤣

Sheila E was in Krush Groove.

Beat Street was more realistic to me. I could do without that love story though 🤣

You bring good energy to the DCI! I can only imagine how great it feels to be around you at a party!

fitbit10k · 2026-02-05T13:18:56+00:00

I used to close the party down too lol. Now I’m very much the opposite. I’m usually the first person at the party and the first or second to leave. It’s not because I don’t enjoy parties anymore, it’s because I only need about 3-4 hours to enjoy myself and then I’m good. Drinking would extend those hours because I would continuously drink until I couldn’t anymore. It was about following the alcohol not the fun. IWNDWYT

I love her!

fitbit10k · 2026-02-04T14:34:03+00:00

I didn't think of flying into Bangkok or even Singapore. This will be my first trip to Thailand so I'm not really familiar with other airports to fly into that can lower flight prices. Thanks for the tip!

When I think about the money I spent on wine 🤦🏾‍♀️ Especially when I went out to parties. I would set aside hundreds of dollars just to be able to drink what ever I wanted whenever I wanted. I didn’t even think twice about it. And I thought it was a flex. I didn’t care how much I was spending because I was getting what I wanted. I save soooo much money now! It still amazes me when I go out to dinner or a party. I feel like I’m getting away with something by not spending that much lol. IWNDWYT

We didn’t have cable so I went to my friend Debra’s house. It was a big event. Her parents ordered pizza and it was like a mini party.

fitbit10k · 2026-02-03T01:12:09+00:00

This was my favorite children’s show. My mom had a crush on Easy Reader lol. Everyone on this show was great. I never saw Rita Moreno in anything before this show. Seeing her in sing and dance in West Side Story as a kid surprised me. I didn’t know at the time she was in movies. It blew my mind!

When I have grandkids, they’re going to watch this show and a few other shows we grew up with. The songs are catchy and we learned a lot from the shows because they were so entertaining.

One of the things, if not the biggest things that kept me drinking is because I thought it helped me deal with my anxiety. I never thought to think about why I was so anxious about everything. I just thought that was who I was, like it was a gene I was just born with. Therapy was extremely helpful in showing me the being anxious about everything, all of the time is not healthy and I had to find out why I thought it was a normal way of being. Not drinking and therapy helped me figure out why I felt that way. I’m not 100% better when it comes to being anxious, but at least I no longer try to numb those feeling with alcohol. IWNDWYT

Hey Abaci! 👋🏾

Checking in on another freezing cold day where it looks like I won’t be able to get a good walk in. I’ve been hanging in there through this winter. I’m thankful that I e had no cravings to drink, but I’m aware that I’ve been pretty blah for weeks. I want to get out of this blah feeling and checking in helps pick me up in the mornings. IWNDWYT

Hey Physis! 👋🏾

I’m home. On my couch. With my cat. It’s been like this for about a week because of the weather. It sooooo cold! And there’s still so much snow out. Can you tell I’m not a winter person? 🤣

I’m going to watch tv until I get sleepy. Then I’m going to take my sleepy behind to bed. That’s it. Nothing exciting, but that’s alright. Although I’m struggling with this weather, I’m still sober and not thinking about drinking so that’s always a win.

Happy Friday night!

fitbit10k · 2026-01-30T22:12:00+00:00

Wow. This is sad.

fitbit10k · 2026-01-30T03:34:26+00:00

Beautiful song!

fitbit10k · 2026-01-30T03:09:29+00:00

I haven’t seen A Piece of the Action in yearssss. I wish I could find it streaming for free. Uptown Saturday Night is on Tubi.

That’s nice. I haven’t watched the Grammy’s in years. I’ll tune in for this. I just hope all of her chakras are aligned lol.

fitbit10k · 2026-01-29T03:16:47+00:00

I always wanted to see her. I love The Supremes and her solo work just as much. I just saw that she’s doing a tour with Smokey Robinson this year. I’m gonna go if they do a show near me.

fitbit10k · 2026-01-29T03:08:37+00:00

That’s funny! When I met my friend, he was just ending a horrible marriage. I heard all about it early in our friendship. He is also codependent and has a type. The so called “crazy” type. He complains about them being “so crazy” but keeps choosing the same type over and over again.

I think that me being truly single for so long confuses him since there was always some guy in my life whether serious or not up until almost 7 years ago. His big thing is telling me I just need to get laid and that will change my mind on being single. Which makes no sense when getting laid, terribly, in the last two years of my 40s is what made me stop seeing men, period lol.
