One Step at a Time - March 2013

Morning all! Slept like crap last night....time change didn't help.

Juja - so glad that you are feeling better about the campral. :l

Glass - great to see you. Please don't hold back on posting. Even if you're drinking, please come here and be with us. It's better to stay close. :l:h (I do the same thing so I understand)

Sun - are you home now? So happy that you had a good time.

Mama - How are things going? You hanging in there?

Hi Sun!! Welcome home. Hope it was a wonderful time for you. :h

Welcome home, Sun. Hope you feel rested and restored.

Ah yes, the time change. Takes me about 2 weeks to adjust.

Started Campral today, and am doing okay. I feel stoned, tired, and hungry, but nothing major. I'm relieved. I'm not having any cravings, but we'll see what happens as the week goes on, especially after a stressful day or two. Thank you for being there for me when I was going into panic mode.:l

Nora> Are you returning home the 15th? I hope things are smoothing out, even if it's just a bit.

Mama> I ironed today, and did lots of other house-wifery stuff. Ugh. I need to do something fun.

Glass>How you doing today?

FT>Off anywhere?

See you folks tomorrow.

So - I'm sitting here watching my brother drinking more & more beer. Probably up to 5 or 6 already. I wish he would stop. Maybe I needed to see this. It's not attractive is it? I've been having a hard time anyway and this is just pushing me over the edge. I'm sick of listening to him. Oh give me strength. :upset::upset:

Please go to bed, Nora. You don't need to see or hear any of what he's doing or saying. :l:h

Thanks for your support everyone. I know I've only been here a short time but it already means so much to me to have you all to talk to.

Nora, you're right, it's really difficult watching other people drink, especially when you love them and want to have a decent conversation. :l

Good morning all,
Ah to be home and doing my own cooking and laundry, cleaning - oh wait i have to re think that hotel service, nah rather be home.
I hope all is well my friends, I may not ave posted much in last few days but I am here.
Strange, but for the 1st time since Dec 31st when I chose to go AF & NF I have started to feel in control, I know this is also when that little guy creeps up and teases me with "oh it's only one - what can it hurt" but this is the first time that I actually feel that I am in control.
Not smoking is something that I can't explain, I just decided no more and so far so good. I do know that in my case one does affect the other, a smoke usually ties with a drink and vise versa thus it's better to leave both alone.
Sorry didn't mean to ramble but during the last few days I have been exploring this feeling and all I can say that if feels really good, and I am still living one day at a time.
Thank you all for being here.
FT

Morning all....I'm sleepy
I tried modding this weekend,and it's not worth it. Try stopping after two.... it ain't worth it

ok...to shower and take my sleepy self to work

where is everyone?

I have been thinking about the drinking beast this morning and my head is in a good place.
i still romanticize it a bit and must admit I miss it at times, but after a buzz and then forcing myself to stop and then wake up and hate myself...it helps to clear the warm fuzzies (no pun intended) away....
thanks for listening

Happy Monday all...and we lost an hour over the weekend too...darn.

FT - I am (AGAIN) attempting to quit smoking. I know it takes a FEW tries, but seriously this is getting ridiculous! All I can do is never quit quitting.

On a positive note, I am down 11 pounds today! Guess all the blood, sweat and tears at the gym is paying off...now to just keep going...

Hope y'all had a great weekend.

Back later

Mama -

Good job in thinking through the drinking. I still get the "pull" now and then too, but then I remember the ugly truth. I don't want to feel like that EVER again! I am SO PROUD of you!!! Love you lots!! :h

Morning all.....sorry that I was so bitchy last night. juja - I took your advice and went to bed. It was better that way.

The plumbers are here. They think it's the pipe under the kitchen sink instead of the sewer line so that's good. They have to pump the water from under the house so they can get under there to work. What a mess.

FT - Glad that you're home. You are sounding really good. :l

Glass - I'm so glad that you're back & posting. We are here for you & really care. :h

Juja - glad that you started the Campral. Keep us posted.

Sun - you getting settled in after vacation??

Mama - 21 years old!?!? I agree how did this happen? Mine just turned 26!!!!

Mom has a doctor's appointment today. She doesn't want to go so this will be interesting.
