One Step at a Time - March 2013

I haven't been in a posting mood lately, but I have been reading.

Nora it is hard to be sober and watching our loved ones get drunk. I was watching my husband this weekend and wishing he could reel it in. I've been thinking about you and wishing you peace.

Sunbeam welcome home. I bet you had a wonderful time.

FT you are doing so well. Ignore that little voice and it will get weaker and weaker.

Glass I'm glad you're back and just glad that you're here in general. I agree 100% with what you said on the "ugly" thread and am glad you took a stand.

Juja I am hopeful that the Campral will be helpful. Overall you sound more upbeat and happier.

K9 congrats to you on your weight loss! Did you ditch the 5am idea? Is your daughter still going with you?

Mama modding isn't worth it. There is nothing to think about when you just quit. No decisions to be made, no fretting over if you can stop after 2, no worries about making an ass out of yourself. It's all good!

K9 - GREAT JOB!!!!! That is fantastic. So, I guess I do need to actually exercise to lose weight. :H:H

Sounds like you've got the right thinking going, Mama. I am having a hard time right now. I am not on antabuse. My head is not in a good place right now. I am going to have to leave and go home on Friday. I am so worried about that.

Fly - cross post. I've been missing you. Thanks for what you said about drinking/modding. Excellent points.

It seems that way...believe me I tried everything BUT exercise for a long time....

You guys tell me if I am being nit picky here...do you think a certain member is starting WAY too many non-alcohol related threads in the Just Starting Out and General Sections? It's fine to get off topic once in a while but HOW many threads do we need about ugly singers, favorite movies, user names, etc., etc. I'd also like to know how this member is doing with their AF time, but that is never mentioned.

I certainly don't mind off topic threads but I have noticed that there have been so many started lately. I tend to stay here where I can give/get support. I guess some see this as an off topic thread too. But, I think we do talk about the beast quite often.

I just ignore threads that I wish weren't there for any reason, probably would just waste my time, not help me and probably not anyone else. They go away pretty quickly. The person is spending time here instead of drinking, that's a good start for them.

Excellent point Sun. :thanks: I used to have a lot of fun in another thread that was totally off-topic and just funny. Posted there daily & kept me from drinking many, many times.

I'm not down, but I am physically sick today. I woke up with a horrible sore throat and I feel nauseous. I felt fine yesterday. Had to call in today. I can barely talk.

I just go through posting moods where I sometimes I have lots to say and then I'll go a few weeks with very little to say. Don't know why, but I've always been that way.

K9 I noticed the poster of whom you speak! Forty posts in the past few days and only 2 mention anything about alcohol. I have just been skimming on by those threads, except for my one comment in the "ugly" thread.

Hi Techie!!!! :h:h:h

Fly - feel better. :l:l

Hi Techie!!!! :h:h:h

I don't mean to be a kill-joy about the other threads, I just wonder if that person is spending ANY time on the subject of alcohol, or if they'd rather just ask frivilous questions.

Oh honey I could care less about those threads. Folks seek attention for their issues in all manner of ways. It was not my favorite thread but I have much more important things to worry about. Stuff like that use to bother me, but now? NOPE !
