Thank goodness Friday the 13th is out the way...
I am going to get back on board with my training schedule today. While I was ill, I lost a bit of weight and feel better for that, but I want to lose a tad more and know that I can control it. I hate being out of control. From an alike, that sounds daft really doesnt it

I am going out tonight with a friend to a local pub, not one of my favourite activities really but one that cant be avoided forever. I hope I am in a chatty mood so it doesnt feel too strange not drinking. I know I wont drink, but I want to be comfortable too.

Anyway, I should still be asleep now, no idea why I'm not, but will try and get my head down again later.

See ya in a while lazy lot

hiya starty!

heyyyy, I am not lazy :H

Good for you for wanting to get into shape. I know I could stand to lose 40 lbs off my ass!

I haven't gone out in a drinking environment since being AF. Not sure how I would do.
Good for you, knowing you won't drink!
You are one strong lady!
I can understand the wanting to be comfortable, for sure.

Hi Keeta!
What time is it for you? Its 5.15am here?

I am not the greatest social butterfly but I have been out a few times, and I guess I feel pressure to make small talk which is easier when I have had a few!
I suspect it all boils down to the company. When I was with Oney and Limers, I had no problem with chatting until the early hours. That simply doesnt happen for me usually. I am always wanting to leave anything early...
I need to get fit for this mini marathon in June. Plus I am trying to get another addiction going, and am hoping it will be exercise. I NEED a vice !!!

How are you doing? Is your daughter better?

10:24 pm, still Friday night here, starts.
I won't be up too much longer, as I have to open shop tomorrow morning! blach :H

I can totally relate to not being a social butterfly!
When alcohol was fun for me, it definately made me more open to socializing. As the final stages of my alcoholism took hold (last two years, I guess), I became a recluse, and a very unhappy, melancoly drunk! NOT FUN.

I am glad you three connected. You probablt felt extra chatty with them, because the judgement of c haracter flaws that are normal in the real worl, seem to not apply between friends here.
We understand eachother.
We are all suffer addiction.
We care about eachother!!

:H Well, if you HAVE to have a vice, excercise is probably a good one!

I honestly need to get more proactive about living a healthier lifestyle too....quitting drinking was just a very very important step 1!

tired, and a tad stressed out, but hanging in.

My daughter had her first day back to school today.
Now they are on Spring break, so off all next week. :H

Its strange isnt it? How the one thing that got us out and about, also made us prisoner.
I am so glad its out of my life now. I am much happier with myself sober.

You are doing great on the drinking front Keets, I cannot imagine how hard it must have been to go through what you have and not have a drink. You have done so well.

I am glad your daughter is well again, those bugs are so debilitating ...for all concerned!

I think I am going to see if I can get another hour in the pit.
Sleep well, see you tomorrow ...

sleep well starts.

and thanks. I am working very hard at the AF thing. Sometimes it is still so hard. I pray for release from it. From thinking about it, wanting it.

See you again in my tomorrow.
Enjoy your sleep!:l

Good Morning Army
Tossed and turned all night, now up for the day at 4:15am. I have to meet my sponsor for a 6:30am meeting, and after that, a breakfast meeting. I'm telling you, the woman is KILLING me!! I went to a meeting with her last night and she took me out to dinner. She really is a sweetie and is just trying to save my life. She will lighten up on me on Monday. Anybody out there?

Yes, I like her very much. She is introducing me to lots of lovely women, who have been very kind, and freely giving of their telephone numbers.

I cannot believe there is a meeting at 6.30am! I dont think we would have anything like that around here. And if I had to do 90 meetings in 90 days I would probably have to travel miles!

Sponsers seem incredibly generous? Do they usually have more than one person to sponsor?
