Hey, everyone.. Sobernauts and all.. My Girl just made two months sober today after having a two week fuck-up and reset.

I'm taking her to a little lake nearby and teaching her how to kayak. But, I'd like to get her a special gift of some sort, too and I absolutely fuckin suck ass at giving gifts.

Anyone have any good ideas you can think of?

Thanks, and I miss y'all. As for my sobriety, I'm fuckin it up at the moment, but trying to not go completely off the deep end. Staying away from liquor and I believe I'm ready to give it up entirely, again.. I'll be back soon.

I like the bracelet idea by Rosamundi. Maybe even get one of those charm ones where she adds a new charm every month?

Tell her congrats for me and pass along a hug please!

I bought myself a comfortable backpack for commuting.

Or what about a nice bracelet? Amethyst was believed to protect against drunkenness, and there's some pretty amethyst bracelets on etsy.

Lorax! Sorry I missed this post! Good to hear from you man. No worries about fucking up. It’s a journey and I can’t even tell you how many times I have quit for good. But I’m still here and still working on it and that’s what matters.

As for a gift, how about get her a massage? Then maybe clean the house and cook her a meal.

Keep in touch friend, sober or not
