August- Come One, Come All

well I kind of hate to say it as others are struggling at this time, but August is kicking ass for me so far. I feel REALLY good. Not bloated, sleeping well and not had any terribly strong longings for evil 'al'. Maybe my good vibes are now ready to rub off on everyone that needs them. Good vibes for the penguin infantry!

remember why we are doing this....that list is long. and it's all good stuff.

August is tough so far as was July. But it is my circumstances. The circumstances have made a challenge but also help in strengthening my resolve.

Weeble

I like the idea of penguin weebles. That's how I feel. I keep tipping over but then feel determined to pop right back up. I feel that's positive, because in the past I couldn't even imagine any success, I'm I'm going to keep on trying. My "AF" days in August will be when I am straight up, and I hope to have less and less of the other days. It sure is tough when I'm around anyplace where there is alcohol. I haven't yet been able to resist. Got to overcome that, because I can't stay home forever. Hope everyone out there is feeling positive today, and not badly if we're not perfect. We are a work in progress!

Great for you, Det! Me, too. Feeling good, feeling strong, feeling free.

Nurse, I agree, you can't stay home forever... but you might need to stay "home" or away from heavy trigger situations for longer than you want to... this work really requires making some changes that can be difficult and uncomfortable, right? And, good for you, keep popping back up and count as great success, all your AF days... may they increase!

best wishes to all,

Did a quick read through the post, there's sooo much to catch up on.

Hellooooo O2m - long time no chat...lol

CS - you are the reason I'm AF, thanks for putting my name on the list (although I don't think I was thanking you at the time)

LTG - great to see you post, hope you are doing okay?

Keeta & Spirit - I'm sorry you are both having such a hard time, I honestly don't have any advise to offer but I'm thinking of you.

WIP - I went to book club aka wine club last night which I nearly pulled out of a million times but decided to go anyway and sat and drank my fruit juice and listened to the biggest load of drunk garbage!! Has anyone noticed how LOUD drunk people are and they wave their arms around alot

I LOVE THE PENQUIN PICS

DB... yes, never thought of that, "book club aka wine club," very good! Fortunately my book club girlfriends don't actually get drunk (I was the only one who drank too much), but YES about drunk people in general...

I sure hope all this website stuff gets fixed SOON! I still can't log on from home... now I am in the library and the site pages are loading slooooooowly.... I don't know if that's the library's fault (usually it is super-fast here) or something else not working well on the website or server or whatever the thing is that ... well, the thing that has to work right.

DeeBee, thanks for the compliment! I need to reread that list...wasn't my name on there too? LOL

T, thanks for checking in. It has been a rough week and it's witching hour and I'm hungry. Gonna go find a snack. (I usually stay away from smilies!!)

Just checking in with everyone.... I'm inspired by the people who are feeling strong, feeling good and feeling free. Tomorrow will be a busy day for me and Saturday morning I coach a Special Needs cheer team. I always leave practice feeling inspired. These kids make me want to be a better person. And I am better when I am AF.

Here comes the weekend. PENGUIN POWER to all of us!

Good morning, all, we are one-quarter through August and doing great (and that includes dealing with difficulties, so long as we keep fighting!)! The penguin pictures are FANTASTIC... they are oddly inspiring and encouraging to me! Wish I could take them around with me... maybe I can load them onto an iPod??? I bet somebody here knows how to do that...

I still can't log in to MWO from home so I am kinda frustrated... I know they are working on it. But. Still frustrated. Now I am sitting in the coffee shop, enroute to an 8:30 walking date with a colleague.

Best wishes, all!

Starting again

Boy have I been bad. I have been around people who drink, and have found that I haven't had the willpower to abstain if anyone around me is drinking. Then once I start, I haven't been able to stop. I'm going to try again today, and think I will stay away from anyone drinking. I wish I could bottle the feeling I have right now and keep it so that in the evening I can remember how badly I feel after drinking too much. I'm still in there trying, and I applaud everyone who's done so well so far. I can't believe how hard this is. Good luck to everyone this weekend.:upset:
