30 days???

MA....you are very dedicated to AA. Through all this, you have kept your dedication and that is very good. You should feel proud.

Thanks for sharing Cindi. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I havent watched any of the olympics...I never do though. I am just not a sports kinda girl. I could care less. I can barely walk through the house without stubbing my toe, mayeb I am just jealous...LOL

30 days???

Atleast with stubbing your toe Luv you can just put on a sock and voila !!! All Better !! Not like me giving myself a darn shiner LOL !!!
Hey all, I spent most of my day out in the garden, the barn and yep you guessed it, hanging out 3 huge loads of laundry

I have to agree totally with Luv also Cowgal, you should be so proud that you have such a commitment to AA. Pat yourself on the back xxx

Just curious about antabuse... can a person be AF all week and then enjoy a couple glasses of wine say on Friday night and perhaps a couple on Saturday??? I'm totally clueless about that... I suppose I could google, but I trust you guys with all my heart on this subject... I would like to get back into that good routine of enjoying just a couple on the weekends Only. I have no problem being AF weekdays, but I would guess that antabuse would just really make it an AF week... Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.. feel free to PM me if you like. Thank-You in advance. xxx

Sorry to hear about the sunburn but also happy to hear that you all had such a blast at that waterpark... Sounds like alot of fun!

Thanks Cindi for sharing with us all about your upcoming phone consultation on Thursday. I really hope it helps you .

Well, I'm sitting on a beach towel as hubby and I just got out of the hot tub...(enjoyed a diet caffeine-free coke )
Bootsie, goodluck with the publisher... you are the kind of gal that doesn't allow moss to grow under ya !!!

I'm gonna go change, enjoy your evening everybody, Hugs, xxx

Nibs,

Antabuse can hang around in your system a long time.

It is not recommended as a tool for moderation. I can hurt your liver very much if you drink with Antabuse still in your system.

Love,
Cindi

good morning!

I have barely a moment to touch base w/ everyone.................

Hope all is well, just want to say HI and wish everyone a WONDERFUL WEDNESDAY!!

I am on day 3 today, still fuzzy, but ok, stayed up late again watching the swimming...........

LUV, I am totally not athletic either,:no: just really enjoyed the swimming, now that it seems that Phelps has gotten the record Gold medals, I probably won't really watch ....................UNTIL of course the horses!!! I love watching that!! (Imagine that):H:happyheart::H

Bird, Nibs, TNT, Cindi, all else who follow, have a great day,

talk to you later.

30 days???

Thanks for all the info Cindi and More2... It all makes alot of sense... Today is day 3 and not even a glitch of a craving.. Hubby had 3 beer and I enjoyed a diet orange crush happily.
Tonight I'll sleep like a rock again. I'm not sure if antabuse is for me, I was just curious. I'm so happy for you More2 and that you have found this wonderful tool xxx

Today we had the health inspecter into the tea house. She was totally impressed with everything with the exception that one of our fridges needed to be turned up a titch colder. This Saturday our bosses will be going out of town leaving me in charge. I'm confident that we'll have a wonderful day and make them proud of us. Along with myself there are 3 high school students.

Well, I think I'll have a tubby and hop into my jammies... Today was the third day we enjoyed supper out on our back deck.
Have a wonderful evening everybody, Hugs, xxx

30 days???

Hello everybody. I've been going on chat recently, but not on here. Figured I'd stop by and say hello. I hope all is well. Maybe I'll see some of you on chat.

[Niblet]

30 days???

Great to see you Morrison
Just stopped by to wish you all a wonderful Thursday
This weekend Hubby is heading to camp to rebuild the front porch we pulled off. I have to work Saturday so I'll stay home. He has a buddy going with him to "help"... that fella has 2 left hands and each time there is a beer in it LOL.
Well, I should go and hang 1 load of laundry out before hopping in the shower for work...
Hugs, xxx
More2, what if I was to use a pill cutter, take only a half an antabuse on Sunday.. I've googled and could have some horrible side effects even after a week. It would be nice to only have a couple Fri and Sat only. Scary stuff I read... :0

Nibs,

I, for one, cannot drink for almost two weeks after I have taken Antabuse.

In my case, I need to be AF, I simply can't mod. So, I am back in the popping one every day. That way I can't play those internal "head games" with myself. Maybe between Lenair, Antabuse, Campral and some steely determination, I will win this war.

Just be very careful. My doctor warned me that trying to drink while Antabuse is still in your system is very rough on the liver. He has had patients end up with cirrhosis from it. He was reluctant to give it to me. However, it works for me because I am a wussy girl.

Oh, and Hi, Morrison!!

Everyone else, please take care, have a wonderful day and may good things come to everyone today!!

Love,
Cindi

Cindi is correct.....just because Antabuse is not physically making you ill externally...like hot flashes, vomiting, etc...does not mean it is not wrecking the inside organs. Food for thought! BUT, you know....drinking like a fish will cause far more damage. Sometimes you gotta weigh the options.

MORRISON sorry I bailed so quick last night. BF got to my house and computer was dying quick. I was on my laptop and Brit had the charger.

Happy Thursday all!!!!

[cowgal]

30 days???

hi

Everyone sounds so positive! Happy THURSDAY!!

Nibs, I am scared to DEATH to take antabuse, I just know myself...............I have heard horror stories from some people in AA as tohow they ended up in the ER very sick and hospitalized. I know that would be my case.............that is just me though, I am thinking to start back on my Campral tomorrow, as it will be day 5 AF then, and the campral will work. I am feeling physically and mentally better now (THANK GOD!) so drinking is not a thought, but I never know when I will start obsessing over drinking again...........right now not even a thought, like I had been to Lenair already or something, I am enjoying it!

Cindi you sound so positive, I am happy you are doing a little better, can't hear about your conversation w/ Barry. Did everyone get the link to Lenair's radio interview tonight?? I wish I was more computer literate, will try to copy the link to here, maybe some of you can listen, it is tonight at 8PM.

Talk to you all later, I have a semi-quiet day, but always something to do!

love you all dearly,:l:h

30 days???

More2, that is soooo INCREDIBLE! And yes, I totally agree, we just need to not fret, and turn it over to God, and he'll make it all ok, what a blessing for both of you!! That's just great! That's about the entire premise of the book I'm about to finish I was telling ya'll about...the Monk that sold his Ferrari, you shouldn't spend one minute in "worry".....and how to have a happy, peaceful life.... we aren't in the drivers seat, so we have to take our hands off the wheel, when we do, God drives, and he drives better than we do! I'm heading to Tyler, lunch with daughter, she's shaped up, and I declared no more conversation on any negative subjects, so we're good, just had to put my foot down....then we're having pedi's, you should see my toes after all the adventures, they look like farmers feet or something! I'll check in this evening, love you all tons and bushels! Nibs, have fun this weekend, you are the boss lady! I'm sure everyone that comes in, will be amazed at the food and smiles and service you'll give them! LUV, how are you doing? Did you stop craving so bad? Did you talk to Rhonda? I hope all goes well for you this afternoon Cindi, let us know please! And Cindi, I'm serious, you need that book, I thought about you and Cowgal the whole time I was reading it...it being caught in my eye, at the airport, after all that had happened to me, before getting to Costa Rica, was a hint from God too, a God sent present....made my trip totally different than what it would have been, I'm sure of it. Love you!!!!! jill

[cowgal]

30 days???

wow

Just getting a chance to check in and WOW, what a beautiful thing you are doing More2!:h:h

I will look for the book tonight ToughinTexas, although I have alot of reading for a class I am taking (european history) and that occupies much of my time right now.............

You guys are great, and yeah, LUV how is the craving going? Gotta check on greeneyes too........we all need to care and watch out for eachother, will try to put the link to the radion interview here.................

Internet Radio, Citizen Broadcasting, Social Media Podcasts - Blog Talk Radio

There I did it! WOW again!

I am going to listen w/ my ears WIDE OPEN, want to know a little more about this, read the entire brochure, emailed Barry w/ tons of questions, have been picking everyone's brains on this..................feel as though it could help.....................hope like h*ll it does!

lots of love:l:h

30 days???

Cravings left the minute I returned home from miami. I think the situation was just a bit to stressful so early in my sobriety. I am fine. 5 days from my 60 day mark!!!! WHOOP WHOOP as Boots would say!!!!

More....what a lovely story. Made me tear up. It is so good to read or hear of just "good" in the world. It seems some days all we hear is BAD....

As I have said MANY MANY times....whatever method you need to use to get and stay sober...do it. No one method works for us all and NEVER will. Just be happy!
