[startingover]

Good Morning all,

I am so glad yesterday is done and dusted, it was a strange day all round and I dont think I am the only one to have felt it....I need to take heed of my own advice and take what is good for me and ignore the rest...

Anyway today is a new day and its got to be a better one

Oney, you must be excited now its NY Eve?? I am excited for you!!! You are at your mates tonight arent you?

KP, day three for you and things normally begin to brighten for you on the third day dont they?

Rubes, hope things are going better for you today....

Yesterday a friend made me an automated spreadsheet that changes each day and gives me interesting facts about the number of days I have been sober. Its at work, so today I will be looking at 148! Its like my very own "hurdling" calendar, a bit like an advent calendar but for sobriety

Have a lovely sober, positve day everyone.
Love starts xxx

good morning starts and everyone to come. Cold cold day here and everything is pretty frosty.
Day 3, and feeling slot better and eating well again, though I'm still not sleeping and still have no sickness pay, so am worried about money alot at the mo. Haven't been in this position before, and it's part of the battle plan to get over this hurdle as I feel it's a huge part of my recovery.
Oney... You must be getting very excited. I'd love to be going to the big apple right now. Your going to have a great time.
Hope everyone has a great productive, sober, stress free day!

yes, unfortunately mine are very disturbing and sometimes involve my children which can be very upsetting , but hopefully they'll stop soon!

Army Thread 3rd December 2008

yer, me too. Sometimes really crazy and sometimes quite upsetting. From experience I find they should stop after about 4-5 days max.

Aloha all!

Sweets, those dreams are of a type I would have to wake myself out of...God! Keep perservering, you are doing awesome! The reward will be sooo worth it.

Being comfortable in my own skin was one of the reasons why I started drinking and using in the first place, many tired years ago. Today, with the benefit of much pain, I am living a life clean and sober beyond my wildest dreams.....hey...there's no porsche in my garage (Feck, I still don't have my license back, even), and my man ain't THAT hot (LOL), etc etc, but I am WILLINGLY clean and sober today, and that is a miracle. I CARE about others and their feelings, that too is a miracle. I care about MYSELF - shit! What more can I say..... I haven't had a drink and I am comfortable in my own skin!

O2M - thinking of you! Not long now.
Bless you all!

Morning All!

I am going to have a few days away from MWO- the shop is doing OK but we really need to get our bums in gear to get advertising out and make sure we have a great Xmas- as after Xmas Jan and Feb are very quiet around here, so for a few days PC must stay off!

I am glad to hear you are all doing well- I have been doing much better myself since I had my ear infection- after a few days of having to be AF due to the infection, a shift seems to heve finally occurred- I am making sure I eat a big meal before witching hours starts, and some more during the evening and it seems to be working a treat. I just don't feel like drinking when I've eaten.

Oney, I hope you have a wonderful time in NY- please take loads of pics!

Will see you all soon X

I have a growing pile of empty beer cans in the kitchen, it looks shocking but I'm not ashamed because I know they weren't drunk all in 1 night. It's just cold and I can't be bothered to put them in the recycling box. Hubby was embarrassed with my parents came round though and there wasn't as many then!!! Maybe I'll shift them tonight...
