November A@@ kickers - day 1!!

Afternoon all
Just checking in - day 7 here. Feeling good hope the rest of you are too. Aunty M well done a whole week - yipee. TGIF going out to lunch and then to the movies tonight to see In Bruge with Colin Farrell (god is he georgeous or what!). I saw the trailer and it looks hilarious - a black comedy. You have probably seen it already Limers I think it was out in Ireland ages ago?
Mind you it does take a while for things to make it all the way over here to little old NZ. Hopefully the same applies to the recession - no sign of it here yet although there are murmurings.

November A@@ kickers - day 1!!

Hey everyone! Raining cats and dogs here tonight! Help--I am only taking Topa at night cause it makes me sleepy too. My cravings are really strong now from the time I leave work till I go to bed. Day 6 here. Christy I hope you feel better. Are you taking vitamins? Boozehag--I am glad you are feeling good and having a great time out and about. What is sero tonic? And Limers--I always love your post and hearing what you are up to. WIP - thanks for always saying the right things on all of the threads I read. Aunty Mame--sleep well! Check with you all tomorrow!
























































Help--I am alsoTaking the topomax at night cause I get sleepy. Dr. would not prescribe so had to order from River.

I think my teenager is wondering what is going on with me drinking water every night at dinner and going to be at 10:00 when he does. And getting up with him at 5:30 a.m.--who is this person?? The craving are still really bad after work driving home and I am sure it is habit--you know my witching hours from 8 till 3 a.m.!! Have a good evening/morning everyone! Raining cats and dogs right now. Christy I hope you get to feeling more perky..take some vitamins. Are you taking any at all?

Hi all .... happy to see everyone is doing okay. Lost - gald to hear you sounding happier!!

just checking in too ....... Friday night! Have just taken some L-glut as I have to go to a work function ( annual bash for the company that we sub-lease from) and there will be lots of very nice wine, and a reasonably good jazz band and its Friday night ........:tempted:

........ but I am so close to making it past where I have ever got to before that I know I'd be stupid to cave in now. :no:

anyway, I've volunteered to be the last one out of the building here tonight to lock up and put security system on, so that I can delay going there for a while. And Uncle Mame is picking me up at 7pm, so I'll only be there for about an hour - enough time to show my face and schmoooze a bit ....

And I have to keep reminding myself about my massage on Sunday which is my reward to myself for a week of being sober!

better go - will start a new thread tomorrow, but will leave it until the evening time here - but BH, if you want to start it in the morning feel free!!)

have a happy day all - after this function I'm heading home for a bath and an early night!!

Hey all:

Friday morning at work and was thinking of everyone. Aunty M--where were you before that you slipped? You are doing so well right now...keep it up--to me you are one of the ones that are leading the rest of us here on this thread and we are following you. You will do wonderful tonight. A massage sounds wonderful. I am thinking of having a pedicure tomorrow with a friend as a treat if I don't mess up tonight. And I WON'T!! Christy--how are you? Limers--I gotta love you always in all of your posts in all threads! Helpahol--I can only take the Topamax during the evening cause it makes me sleepy too. My doctor refuses to give it to me cause he is old school and only believes in AA and Antabuse. BH--How was the movie? I absolutely adore Colin Farrell--adorable and sexy! WIP - always read everything you write and take it to heart. Today I looked at myself in the mirror and for the first time IN TEN YEARS DO NOT HAVE BAGS UNDER MY EYES AND DID NOT HAVE TO USE VISINE TO GO TO WORK. And I wonder what my teenager is thinking about me. I have been drinking water every night at dinner and go to bed by 10:30 when he does. And get up to see him off at 6:00 a.m for school. I hope and pray I can keep this up but it is only 7 days now. Thank you all for your support--without MWO and your help and guidance, I would not be sober for seven days for the first time in ten years. Have a beautiful Friday!!!

Way to go, LT!!! You're doing great! It sure is nice to look in the mirror and see clear eyes, looking back, isn't it?

Of course your son is noticing... and one day, he will thank you.

Lost - that was such a great cheery and optimistic post! Thanks!!

WIP - I love your posts on this and other threads and often look out for them. They are always really balanced and helpful.

BH - good on us for having got through day 7!!!

Christy, helpahol, limers and eeveryone else - hope you're having a great evening!!

I did manage to get through last night - didn't stay very long, but enough to say hello to a few people that I wanted to catch up with. We did our grocery shopping afterwards and I was going to buy a bottle of AF wine but couldn't find it ..... but it meant I spent about 5 minutes in the wine section looking for it. Talk about making life hard for yourself!! I swear I was just about drooling by the time I decided to give up and get ice-cream instead!! :H:H Uncle MAme very suupportive and keeps giving me positive reinforcement which is relaly nice!

Anyway, I'll start a new thread tonight unless anyone wants to do it first!! Election day here, and I'm involved with one of the campaigns, so it will be a bust day for me. I dont expect my side to win, so I wont be tempted to celebrate tonight!!

November A@@ kickers - day 1!!

Morning all
Day 8 today and have put my slip last friday well and truly to bed - will not be happening again. Feeling back on top now so that is good.
Lost I am sooo very glad you made it - 7 days bloody brilliant. Just take it one day at a time and we will be here for you. We had everything crossed for you this week and its worked but down to you and your determination.
You too Mame - a whole week. Well done. And the rest of us.
Movie was great but totally politically incorrect and the "f" word was used very very frequently so might not be everyone's cup of tea but very funny.
As Aunty said its Voting day here today in NZ! I voted yesterday so I didnt have to queue today and I am hoping our present prime minister Helen Clarke will get back in again. With the recession probably heading our way in the near future we need a steady hand at the tiller and if anyone has balls to do it she has!
Well done everyone for our first week of November.
