Day 31 and Beyond: Hello, I'm a non-drinker

Hi, gang. Hello to the young, the old, the newbies, the seniors, the cows and the bull.

WW, haven't start the TR tapes yet. Been apprehensive. I do agree with everything he says though. Just really hard with a family like mine. Ugggg!

If I must state my age.....I hit that terrible 40 mark in Nov. May be it was the age that really made me re-think the whole time to get sober issue. Who knows? But I'm looking to hit 41 healthy and happier than I've been in years.

Believe, that happened to me too. They are still working on glitches from when they did maintenance on the site. You may want to read what RJ stated they are still working on so you know. I still can't change my "mood" w/o being booted off. When you post a real long thread and you find that you can't post it, just hit Back Page, and it should still be there. Then all you have to do is, copy, log back on and paste. That seems to work in the meantime.

60 days!!!! 60 DAYS!!!! That's so awesome! Wtg Guys!

Love to all. Stay strong, my friends.

Love, Me

Hi all-

I was freaking out becasue I had no interent access all day. We've had storms - wind and rain - and flooding, and there are power outages in the area. I have power in my house, but the streetlights are out and many local businesses closed because they had no power.
Oh well.

Everything is going well with me . I have no complaints really. I'm going to do some catching up......

Hope everyone is well!
Love WW xx

heya 30-60ers! this is day 31 AF for me (yet again).

also an odd and interesting anniversary of sorts.
one year ago today I checked into detox after a 4 day bender from hell. It was a smart thing to do and probably saved my life. Don't mean to be heavy...just reflecting. I have learned so much in this year thanks largely to this great community. Thank you all

Day 31 and Beyond: Hello, I'm a non-drinker

Hey Determ,

Congratutlations!! 31 Days! You have come a long way during the past year! You hold such a special place in our hearts. You are really on your way this time! I hope you come back to this thread. It is a special haven for me for sure!

Is it tonight that you and the lovely DX are meeting up with P4T? I know it is this weekend! I know you will have a great time!

And Thank You, for Always being here for all of us!

Ex-queeze me?!?! Det! That's so awesome!!! That went by fast!!! (okay to me anyway)
Right on my bruthah ! .

We're going to change the title of the thread to: "30 to 90" - that seems to capture the main idea and includes more people. And I know you've been there before!

So spyched for you !

Love WW xx

Day 31 and Beyond: Hello, I'm a non-drinker

Congrats, DET!!! Shesh.. that did go by fast.... Where the hell did the time go?

OK, my friends... I hope I am still in the loop here...

I really don't want or plan to start counting days over. This just doesn't feel right for me. I would feel like that would be erasing all of those really tough days, MONTHS of work up to last night. I would feel like a real failure if I had to start counting days at one. I know this is my journey, and days don't matter, but it does to me right now. I must continue.

So, are you guys OK with me just going on? I am AF 63 days (64- my blip).. I worked DAMN hard for those 63 days... I want to keep them...

Please be honest with me on your thoughts.

Love you all..

MM

Day 31 and Beyond: Hello, I'm a non-drinker

Morning MM,

Yes, I absolutely am more than OK with you just moving on! Honestly, this whole thing is about becoming our best selves. Whether our choice is to MOD or live as non-drinkers. Taking away more than 60 days of fabulous progress does not work for the greater good, IMO. Working with all of your progress is what will help you to move forward!

So, a blip is a blip is a blip. Congratulations on 63 days, hard fought for!

Love,
XX Kate

oh my gosh. who the heck is counting. i just remember th 29th of each month that is all. other than that nope i'm not counting. cuz that would mean i have to count something. and i'm just not doing that. since lenair there isn't anything pulling me towards al so nothing to count. i'm just noticing now all the other ways that i'm an addict. so i'm focused on that. well, shower time. det congrats my bro.. sistahs and bros with a little help from our friends. and MM no worry clip playing here. there is no protocal for counting. no slips, blips or anything else. you are in the world of oz.. we make it up as we go honey. no one is taking anything away from you.
love you all. time to get a move on

Day 31 and Beyond: Hello, I'm a non-drinker

Absolutely MM. Don't skip a beat. Because of the way you are handling this, last night is quickly fading into into history with each passing minute.
You're right here - present and accounted for!
Proud of you woman :l
