30 days???

Hey Bootcamp, Thanks, Just trying to get to know my way around this sight. I've looked and posted a bit before but w/o much luck at chat. I'm not that quick with the keyboard so I hav'nt tried the live chat yet. I am enjoying getting to know people just by reading their past posts. although I feel like a bit of a voyurer. Hee Hee

Welcome Keke...I actually started this thread many moons ago...and it did start off as a 30 days AF and we did that , but now some of us are AF, some of us are mods...some of us are still drinking...the goal here now is SUPPORT. We check in here daily. There is a group of us that has gotten real close...BUT BUT BUT...please NEWBIES are WELCOME any time. Please join us. We just ramble on about any ol' thing. Whatever gets us through the day to help us reach our goal, whatever your personal goal is.

30 days???

rachel watching those hips swing is making me awfully dizzy.
lol hey luv, so happy to hear the weekend was beautiful. and your family sure does sound awfully peaceful this weekend. and your son was playing across the yard. sorry about the bunny though. lol ah and those cards hereatlast, those cards you did. i just couldn't get that vision out of my head. just know everyone was so grateful to have them.
bearsy:i know the soccergame was much fun for bear and i'm sure you even got to have some kind of fun dessert for daddy's day.
and niblet thinking of you as well. how's that mare working out?
more2life? was thinking about you and just wanted to check in and see how you were feeling these days. know you are really busy.
brandy hadn't heard from you in awhile.
womfloss know you had put together 14 days awhile ago. how's it going for you?
amelia. i really do like that avatar.
although who is it that has the same avatar as luv cuz that is now confusing me? hahahahaha
karbihere if i hadn't thanked you the other day for bgeing so kind. i sure did mean to. i was being a bit self obsorbed. and god who would ever think a barbie would do that. lol
louise? how are you darling. haven't seen you post for awhile.
have i left anyone out besides my favorite saddle bag partner TIT? coming up this week and you CERTAINLY ALL DON'T WANT TO MISS THE LATEST OF INSTALLMENTS OF BOOTSIE'S JOURNALS
20,000 acres of cattle land and not a drop of liquor to be had. think that will be the title. haven't figured out a moral for the story as i haven't written the first story for you. yes, luv i'm a what do you call that pent up writer or something? who knew. a writer posing as a business/real estate consultant. lol honestly, i'd just rather tell true, good stories that make you think or just fall off your chair laughing. if laughing at and with me can help you, i'm in anyday of the week.
now, karbi here. you keep up with those days, right? you are doing great. hopefully you are working the program as outlined in the book. the mwo way is always better than our way. lol as in i've tried it my way many a day and it usually would end up with 2 bottles of wine, pack of cigarettes and a big ass hangover the next day. hummm not a very attractive photo. and eventually your friends do stop calling. they really do. and drunk dialing isn't attractive. drunk emailing no one can read. forget about drunk texting, you'll just delete what you wrote. and drunks trying to make a really important point is lost on everyone except animals. i find horses and dogs are usually the only ones that can really fathom the depth of our sincere woes and significance of our point when we are fully in our alcohol. they really seem to get the gravity of our point of view. and you will know when they have it, as after the second bottle of wine, you will hear them speak it back to you VERBATIM. have a nice day you all.

30 days???

A big Hello All,, apologize for not posting..
I've just read all the posts and boy oh boy I've sure missed alot ! Welcome Keke (sp?) We love new people. This place is kinda like a good pot of vegetable soup, the more varieties of veggies the better flavour ! Well, Bootsie, when I went to see the mare,she was a bit lame on one leg. I asked the owners to call me in 2 weeks or when she was sound (better). It has been 6 days now, so I'll likely give a quick call maybe tomorrow... She is a real sweety, but as the saying goes, "No foot, no horse".
Hereatlast tile is really a tough job, but a tough job was accomplished and you are also still AF so that's awesome !!!! Luv, it sounds like you are have a wonderful time !
I think from now on I will make a short note for myself so that I can remember all the previous posts and not forget anybody... I'm sending a hug to everybody and then I'm gonna go make some popcorn and drink another water. It is so hot and humid here, but we did get some much needed rain ! I could hear my hosta out in the flower bed singing in the shower this morning... ( non-greenthumbers, a hosta is an outdoor plant. Tee!! Hee!) Have a wonderful evening all ! Hugs, ~Niblet~

hey ya more 2. well you know i completely understand the roller coaster and how sick that makes the tummy. having just come back from day one of bootcamp i can safely say that i didn't throw up so it is a good af day and a good day back at bootcamp for barbie. honey, reach you if you need to. i sent you a pm. and i'm up to 200 mg topa but i find taking the extra goodies has me not get all the extra yucks. so aminos, kudzo, lglut, potassium, shake and banana for sure. it takes a few days though for it to kick in. sending you a big ol bootie love hug. cheering you on.

30 days???

:yay: Woo Hoo!!! I have made two months / 60 days:happy:

Hello all; I have made it back home and I have had an intestinal bug and have been in the bad and bathroom all day. I am feeling better now. Several people from work were also out so I figure it is a bug. I am sure I will be better tomorrow; I already am able to eat a little. I had a great time at the bday party. A lot of his friends showed up and of course their parents. The kids had a wonderful time. The soccer game was neat; if you can imagine a team of 6 year olds trying to take the ball away from each other ? lol

More2 and Barbie, I am sorry for your up / down cycles. I have been through that and it is really hard to live with. In my case the more I tried to quit the more I drank. I think it was something in my head pushing me to the point where I felt I had to quit or die. I really mean that too. Maybe a cry for help? I truly hope you don?t have to go through that, it was terrible. I reached my bottom. I think that bottom is different for different people. I truly hope you don?t have to go through what I did, it was terrible. But then again, if it is what it took for me to stop it was worth it. I had come to the point of complete lose of control. Almost every alcoholic I know who has completely quit has had a similar experience. I finally reached he point where I was willing to do anything to quit. I figured it wouldn?t matter to me what people thought if I were dead. I don?t mean to be such a downer, but this is my reality.

I have missed all of you, you are what keeps me sober, and I give all of you that. You and MWO are my savior. :kudos:

More2 You might want to consider taking campral if you are wanting to be alcohol free. It has worked wonders for me.

God bless all of you
:huggy

[Guest]

30 days???

I will start off by Saying WAY TO GO BEAR!!!!! I'd give ya a big ol' Texas hug if I could reach you!!!

Bootsie and More2....OH OH OH how I know this ccycle...like Bear I had to hit bottom and I truly hope you do not. The only thing in my life I never screwed up was my career and I am not real sure to this day how I pulled that off...I think because my best friend works under me and covered for me all the time (why oh why I will never know...her love is truly unconditional...you just never find friends like her) . I mean mentally and physically I was falling apart. More2, are you taking all the goodies with the topa? I hate it is giving you headaches. I have had such a good experience. BUT, I couldn't have done this without it, I know for sure!!! AND what Bear says about soemthing just clicks...I don't know what it is, but it is true...I did the cycle thing for a long time....it finally just clicks. I am be no means CURED! Still struggle everday...isn't a day goes by I don't think about it...I won't lie. But, the craving time does pass and it isn't real long or as strong as it used to be. Lately, cravings have been worse...I know due to stress...I just keep telling myself I can't cave in. I have painted myself this mental picture that is horrid...me drunk , Mama real real sick needing to go to the hospital and me to drunk to take her...that keeps me from it every time.
More2, did you slowly progress up on the topa last time, I mean real slow? Just trying to help...think of some ways to make it work for you, or maybe take dosages different...say bigger does in the evening so you sleep it off? I do because it makes me sleepy.
Love you guys!!!!
