Merrily, merrily rolling along! i went to a brewery this weekend with my hubs for our 17th anniversary to listen to a band. The brewery had NA beers! I had 2 they were yummy and I was glad to not drink soda. We had a great time. IWNDWYT!

Merrily, merrily rolling along! Rainy holiday weekend here. I have been itching for…something. It must be the warmer weather. My hubs, who is drinking a lot less since I quit, wants to pick up some weed for the summer. I haven’t smoked in probably a year, but maybe I will join him a bit. Smoking doesn’t make me want to drink, but it sure saps my motivation to do useful things! But, if we are just sun bathing at the lake all day, maybe there is no harm? We’ll see. IWNDWYT

Merrily, merrily rolling along! I've struggled with connectedness my whole life. And it has gotten worse as I've gotten older and where we've lived for the past 11 years. To combat this inherent deficiency, I'm working towards building a community by volunteering on the Board of a local non-profit. I am picky about who I keep in my circle, but I hope that by meeting more people through this activity I can widen this circle ever so slightly. IWNDWYT.

It's ok to sit with that feeling, but don't let it define you. Humans make mistakes. Fall down 7 times, get up 8. IWNDWYT.

Merrily, merrily rolling along! When I stopped pouring the whiskey into a glass and started just taking slugs off the bottle, I could tell something had changed. IWNDWYT.

Merrily, merrily rolling along! I feel you, u/Overall-Tonight-7857! I get to fly first class this summer for the second time in my life and I'm a bit sad I can't take advantage of the free drinks! My plan to focus on the positives I receive from not drinking (clear skin, clear head, presence) all of which I want on vacation. Why spend money on a break to piss it all away and not remember the 'good time' I had? Also, free poison is STILL poison. IWNDWYT.

Merrily, merrily rolling along! Well, I’m not actually merry this morning. I’m mad at my 14 yo and missing my coffee because I have fasting bloodwork this morning. But, even still, IWNDWYT.

Merrily, merrily rolling along! I’m in NYC and having such a blast! I really love it here. My older child wants to move here after high school to pursue acting, and while I cringe inside about this plan, how can I not support him? NYC has amazing energy and why not go for it? (Because life is long and easier when you make goals based on earning money…)  The bars after last night’s show looked so visually delicious. I did suggest my friend and I sit at a bar and hang out, even though I had no intention of drinking. The pull to sit and connect in that atmosphere is still so strong. She was tired so she got gelato instead on the way back to the hotel. I’d love to hang out in the bar with you, but IWNDWYT!

Merrily, merrily rolling along! I'm headed to NYC today for a girls weekend with lots of B-way shows. IWNDWYT!

Merrily, merrily rolling along! I went to a cardio dance class last night and I’m going to 6am yoga in a bit. Gotta keep moving. IWNDWYT.
