Oooh yum @Shaz51 now I want pizza for dinner, what pizza is your go-to?
I've got an exciting weekend - I'm attending a wedding tomorrow which should be beautiful, then on Sunday if I'm not too tired I want to go to some garage sales! What about you Shaz? Any plans?

Having a rough Friday afternoon giving up alcohol is hard.

The new cafe on the block, the staff member I dealt with... grahh!!!!
Medium normally has 2 shots there, except with mocha it only has 1 because 1 shot of chocolate
I had to literally spell out what I wanted.
She made the caffeine deprived avant-garde cranky without her coffee and so much more complicated than coffee needed to be.
Goodness me if I tried to say I wanted it warm! Oh my gosh!
I shall drink the coffee now

Hi @MG2879
I promise that it does get easier! Is today your first day off it? I tell people who don't understand addiction to put their phones down for 24 hours and see how long before they want to pick it up! Addiction is hard! I'm proud of you! 'One day at a time' is tattooed on me. Same with the word, freedom. I got the word free tattooed first and the next morning I woke up and thought I don't feel f****** free today, so I went back and got dom put on the end - freedom. I've struggled most of my life with some addiction or another. I'm clean and sober today but that doesn't mean I'm not tempted! I think alcohol is harder to give up because it's everywhere and socially acceptable. Does getting on here distract you and help? ☺️

Just had some Pizza Hut for dinner. 2 slices with extra jalepenos with garlic bread.
Did you order Pizza Hut or Dominoes @Shaz51 ?
