Time,
It is so funny that you stated that sober time is so slow; it is sooooo true. Sometimes I feel like that is why I would drink:speed up time. Why the hell would I want to do that, to age quicker? When I am sober, I get so much done, why would I waste the days away lying on the couch with a beer? It seems so silly, but obviously there is some underlying cause/thoughts. Too much time on my hands? Wouldn't we all love to say that?
Thanks for starting this thread

Morning all, I am a few coasts behind you so please allow me a delayed giggle to:

Errrm....am I in the right place???

:H:H:H:H Nics, you cracked me up! Thanks for the laugh.

New, imagine how much better the steak would be without the distraction of the beast yelling, "More, more" in your head. Good luck to you. And BTW, I've had some expensive bottles of wine that really sucked and some cheapo ones that were heavenly. Tell yourself it's probably aged too long and turned to vinegar.

Luka, I wish that sober time remained slow. I got SO much done in my first two weeks! Now, at 60 days, time seems normal again. Drat! The dog needs washing.

Have a great evening(?) everyone!

I'm with you all for July.
Have been having a tough couple of weeks. Haven't had a drink, but the mental obsession to have 'a couple' has been there. Don't think the hot weather helps, and the invites to go out for a few. I know today I won't drink, and by working my programme I have only drunk once since feb.
But any additional help is good, so I'm here for July!

Hi Everyone

Not AF yesterday but ok tonight. In for July with you.

July 1 group. How is everyone?

Yeah, Becky. Welcome to our group! And Lilbit, thanks so much for the so wise words that the steak will be so much better without the distraction of the beast yelling at me (think he will probably go ahead and yell tonight as it has only been two days). Really glad to have y'all here as my support!

Hi New Creation!

Thank you for welcoming me into your group, took one 333g Campral before my husband went off on night shift at 6p.m. Always struggle with this shift. Anyway, my mind is at peace, no arguing in my mind tonight - shall I or shall I not dink. 10.00pm in bed with laptop, took some sleeping tablets, when I stop drinking I find it hard to sleep.

Good luck to everyone

:thanks:

Mornin All.

Another great night sleep. (those Mersyndol knock my socks off)

I thought I'd use them for the first couple of nights to get me through. They worked a treat. In the past I would've had no sleep night 2 and the sweats night 3.

Feel good this morning. Very happy to be at day 3!!!!!!!

Everything just feels that little bit easier. A little bit brighter. Seem to have got out of my feeling sorry for myself mode. Might nearly be ready for some exercise on the weekend!!!

New Creation - I really hope you just had the steak! Sounds good enough by itself. I really pleased you are finding this useful. If I could help just one person by helping myself it would all be worthwhile. Thanks, I really appreciate it.

Hi Limers - How was ice age? My kids are hanging out to see it. Especially my daughter. (6)

Luk - So true. There's no bloody pleasing us humans is there!

Cindi - Sounds like you are doing great. Keep up the good work.

Bridge - you ok after your good old earbashing? I reckon my daughter would give him a run for his money.......

Have a great day everone.

I'm off to work and it is precipitating heavily!!!!!!!

Hi Becky.

Hope the campral do the job. I find it hard to sleep as well in the first few nights.

Hope you have a good night sleep and feel great in the morn.

Brett.

DAY THREE ......WINNERS.....

How COOL !
What a great little group of troupers we're getting together here.
Well, I am pretty impressed you lot.
I was up at sparrow's fart, running round like a blue - arsed fly.
My house is spotless.
My washing is ALL done...no mean feat.
My dog is walked.
And it's not even 11am.
As opposed to sitting on the lounge like a slack - jawed idiot wondering where last night went.
Give me THIS feeling anyday.
No acidic hangover with reflux.
No tiredness.
No headache with Nurophen Plus chaser.
No waves of nausea.
I just don't want to talk about my morning weigh in yet....but who's fault is THAT ?
So GLAD to have you all here.
Cymru....all power to you mate. Keep strong.
I am now sitting here with my diary open making some short and medium term goals and reward plans...........
Who the hell IS this girl ?????????????
Go like the wind everyone

It is 9:36 in the evening (21:36) here in Alabama.

I have stayed sober today, am in the house for the evening and there is no liquor here, so I can say with a great amount of certainty that I have made it through 7/2/2009 AF.

Yay!!

Love,
Cindi
