100 Days til a day of Thanks

What a wonderful 3rd day I had and I am looking forward to another wonderful sober 4th day! Yes, Bandit, Nov 25 is the day of Thanksgiving and how very thankful I am going to be to celebrate my 100th day of sobriety! Panno, I'm so sorry you are feeling bad today. I hope you can get plenty of rest and feel better! MissBehaving, I know you were having difficulty sleeping. How are you doing? Spuddleduck,. I hope you are feeling better, too. I love you all so much and pray for each one of you everyday! Let's all CHOOSE to have a HAPPY day today! Sending out love and prayers, Vicki

Hi all, I'm still here. Just been very busy with work and stuff. And still not sleeping at all well and it is making me very grumpy. Will have a chat with my Dr about it today.

The story of my kamakaze cat is that she is a big adventurer and tree climber, but disappeared for about 15 hours last week. She was back when I came home from work last Thursday, but very wet and disheveled and just wanted to lie in front of the heater. I thought she had a return of the broncho-pneumonia that she had had a couple of weeks ago (as she insists on going out to hunt even though it is raining and freezing cold) but on Saturday I realised that she was not walking properly. Took her to the vet and it turns out she has a broken pelvis - probably as a result of a fall from height. Anyway, after a couple of days where we thought we might have to put her down, she rallied, and we have brought her home. She keeps trying to do all the normal things she does, but she cant walk, so has to resort to dragging herself around on her front paws. She is not in pain thank goodness - but on steroids to try to build her strength up again and we will have to just wait and see how much damage is permanent and how much is temporary. But she is a fighter so I have high hopes for her recovery!

Oh, poor dear! Just glad she is not in pain. Glad to see you back, Miss B. I am sleeping but I am still grumpy!

well done bandit!!

I've had a few Friday night wobbles, but sent Mr B to the supermarket on his own tonight. This means that I (a) wont be tempted to buy wine and (b) wont get wet as it is pissing down here!! Dont know what we will end up with for tea, but at least I am warm and dry and have no wine! And I will not complain when he comes home with something unhealthy :H:H Hope he gets ice-cream .....!

Okay guys, I need some help. Today is my 33rd wedding anniversary and my husband told me this morning when I got up that he was taking me to our favorite/ most romantic restaurant tonight for dinner. Now, I am not kidding when I say my husband NEVER EVER EVER takes me out.....I mean probably not more than once a year (except when invited to go with friends)!!! This is HUGE for me! It is day 5 for us and I really would like to see myself being accountable to all of you and making it to the 100 days AF. But I am wanting a free pass from you.....from you, from myself, which is it?......to drink tonight. Just daydreaming that a couple of glasses of wine with dinner will be all that I am hoping for.No desire to get trashed; just to feel sexy and normal and relaxed. This is so unbelievably out of character for my husband, life has been soooooooooo sucky lately, I am so deserving right now of a really nice night out, and I am just think that being so new to abstinence I am not going to enjoy the night with my husband near enough if I cannot have a couple of glasses of wine. Would I still be part of the group if I drank tonight then got back on tomorrow? HAAAAALPPP! Tell me what to do.

Hi New Creation

Happy Anniversary, wow, 33 years, CONGRATS..I'm 10 yrs married this year so I've a bit to go!

I can so understand why you would want a few glasses of wine but it really isn't up to us to say yes or no, not in my opinion anyway, it has to be your decision and and as pompeyguy says we hope its the right one for you and hope you have a great night

I many times have said to my husband that i am giving up AL for a month etc and then have often asked him if i could drink one night and then start again and he always said it was not up to him but to me

new creation. similar problem here. mr spuds is taking me out for posh meal. he has just had some good financial news, and ive got my new job. i was ok about it but he is 5 pints in already. we were supposed to be going at 7 and i left getting ready till last minute as i used to start drinking while getting poshed up. meal is now not till 8.30 and im tearing my hair out. im determined to stick it out and have just had lots of l-glut. im just thinking these things are always gonna crop up and if i cave in now what will stop me next time. i would love a couple of glasses of wine with the meal but i know it wouldnt stop there. CAN YOU DO IT?? its not a game and there are no rules saying where you can post or be welcome ... of course you would be welcome . i know im screaming at the walls at the moment and cant even think of anything to do even though i have hundreds of things to do ..... hope it goes well for you...and me.
