    August- Come One, Come All

    Ok, I figure it is time for me to start making plans for August. This was a shit summer, but I would like to finish it off with a bang! I feel much stronger now, and I know I will make it with all of your support. Anyone who wants to join in for an AF August, here is your chance. Come one, come all!!!!

    August

    August is the best month of the year
    we reflect on what's happened since we last stood here
    salt in our hair and our feet in the sand
    I wouldn't expect anyone else to understand

    August is the worst month of the year
    with autumn ahead, I feel so much fear
    nothing that summertime offers can last
    when September arrives, you'll be a piece of my past

    moving on
    I can't read your reaction
    when I set aside the initial attraction
    we have nothing, nothing,
    keeping us together
    so much for forever...
    August
    August is the best month of the year
    watching the sunset, watching lovers appear
    at dusk they hold hands and stare at the sun
    whispering, 'You're the one.'
    August is the worst month of the year
    nothing is simple and nothing is clear
    it's never easy to push fate away
    but a year's worth of love songs can be gone in a day

    moving on
    why was I the one to break?
    it's no one's fault, it's no one's mistake
    and I'm sorry, I'm sorry,
    that I'm so filled with doubt
    what's this about...?
    August

    every year I tell myself
    that I won't let somebody else
    become a part of me
    but I guess it's too late now
    I have to let you off somehow
    it's not going to be easy

    moving on
    I can't read your reaction
    when I set aside the initial attraction
    we have nothing, nothing,
    keeping us together
    so much for forever...
    August

    moving on
    why was I the one to break?
    it's no one's fault, it's no one's mistake
    and I'm sorry, I'm sorry,
    that I'm so filled with doubt
    what's this about...?
    August

    here I am again
    this has to end...

    August.

    August- Come One, Come All

    Lukalee, this has been a shit summer for me too. But I am going to try to make it better, and start (another) 30 on Aug. 1. As a teacher, I have strange feelings surrounding the month of August as well (I have been teaching all summer, though). I know I will need help, but damn it, we are better and smarter than AL!

      Me, I want to do a AF August! I get sad that summer is over - I love the warm weather, and I hate the cold (something about being raised in the tropics where it's always 76 degrees, go figure), so I can't let it make me hole up and get smashed. So, I'm in, if you'll have me!

        Yea!!!! We are going to kick some AL ass!
        CS, I am a teacher too!!! I hate the fact that I waste so much time and money over the summer on AL. I could be doing so many other things. It's like, "Look at this, I don't have to wake up early and go to work; I can waste the night away getting drunk." I go back on August 1st, and I am actually grateful to have something to take up more of my time.

            Count me in for an AF August. My summer has actually been good in terms of progress in my War With AL and also figuring out this hormone crapola so I can finally have my body back. But it's gone by way too fast!!! And we haven't been camping one time yet!! But whatever....August will be here soon not matter what. So I'm up for making the best of it no matter how slow or fast it sails by.

                  Lukalee, I hear you. I have so blown off this summer it's pathetic -- not even a garden like usual. My excuse in May and June was "I'm working on myself." Well July has been a drink fest. So I have to make a last ditch effort before fall classes start.

                  I will most likely make the Days 1-30 my home base; I like that thread. But here is good too.

                  DG, Larisa and Gyco, thanls for joining the wagon!

                        Count Me In

                        Yes--me too. I have not been doing well and wasting so much time. I hate that more than anything. The summer is not over in August--still plenty of nice, warm weather. Let's get healthy before the winter comes and we are indoors more. I know that will be harder for me--when it is dark and cold I somehow feel more "entitled" to drink. I want/need to be stronger by then. I hope we can help each other.

                          Well it appears we are gathering a great bunch for August support.
                          cmh, we have the same quit date!!!! I hope you can slap me into place when I feel the urge to indulge!!
                          We must promise that we will come here BEFORE we pick up that drink; it doesn't have to be this thread, but make sure you come here and reach out for help.
