30 days???

Hello all I got back from camping today, and "Welcome" to adaptable, it's great to have another person along for this life changing journey. It was the first time ever that hubby and I only brought pop, tea, coffee and water on our camping trip... We had a really relaxing time and I will say that there were a few times that I craved a nice cold beer sitting by the lake with our dogs splashing around, but No the craving didn't win... Hubby is 8 days today AF.. I'm so proud of him
I've missed you all very much ! You guys are a ray of sunshine in my day.. There has been so much going on that I've missed and don't know where to start, so I'll just read and enjoy all your stories etc, cause I gotta get up early tomorrow morning... Tomorrow is day 28 AF and I'm looking forward to it !!! Keep up the good work all !!! Hugs to you all, Good Night, sleep tight .. ~Niblet~ ZZZZ (tuckered gal)

30 days???

Luv, I am so glad you got your mom home. Closing in on the 30 makes me wonder what now. Are keep a thread where we move on up? Congrats to you too Amelia. When I get to my 30 days I am going to treat myself to a $50 rib eye dinner. I think I deserve it and I know I want it. I am thinking I can look forward to this every 30 days. When I make a year I am sure I will find something BIG I really like to give myself. He He !

More2, I really miss you keeping track of our days AF, I have to look back at the last post to see where I am.

I am working on Day 25 today... Woo Hoo, and I slept so good last night too.

Congratulations all, it is a great privilege to be here with you all.

RJ said she would move this thread over to the long time abs thread for us???? Sounds like a plan to me so we can keep up with each other, we have bounded, so I say we just move on over....I am gonna buy myself a gift. Not sure what just yet, but something real good!
Mama is home, but not feeling very well...waiting on the doc this morning.

30 days???

Luv, I thought you were one day ahead of me??? Just checked my diary and I am on the right day (thought the meds were mucking with my brain pad).
So today (29th day) and tomorrow (30th - Hooorah)

Actually you are probably asleep on the night of your 29th day and I am at lunchtime - time difference between the Uk and USA??

Also sounds like a good idea to move thread to long time abs....
Glad your mum is back home with you.

Woo Hoo Bear, 25 and counting.....

30 days???

Hi everyone,
I have not posted lately, but have been reading all the posts in this thread. When I started the MWO, I was so gung-ho and I hit the floor running and I did 28 days AF right away. Boy was I so proud. But then I tried to moderate and I felt real guilty and unhappy with myself for drinking even a couple of glasses of wine, because I had felt so good and strong about being AF for so long (a strong wine drinker for 25 years). I can SO RELATE to Texas Tough in her posts...

I am so proud to read about all of you doing the 30 days. We all know what a HARD job that is!! Last week I did like Tex and just blew it and then I beat myself up....it's because once I get on a program like this, and I start these posts, then I just see myself as a failure because I cannot live up to the goals I set.

I just purposely went and drank a whole bottle of wine the other night after doing so good for so long, and then felt horrible physically and mentally for two days. THIS IS A TERRIBLE TERRIBLE thing to deal with!!!!!

Yes, it is a new day, and a Monday and starting over....but boy how many times am I going to start over????

30 days???

Thanks everyone for your support and prayers, means tons!!! And Luv, glad your Mom is home, More2, sounds like you got a mini-Mom's day vacation, so what the heck, all comes out in the wash....lol....Bear, great job, I wanna BE YOU....lol.....well, I want to keep my own body parts tho...he he he....welcome to all the ones just joining, and to the ones finding their way back to us....we need all the help we can get, and all the stories, insights, and trials and error situations we can draw from! I do realize one thing, before I started this program, I would have never "screwed-up" so badly, and woke up the next morning thinking...."ok, you idiot, what did you do, or let happen that precipitated this major setback!"....I'd have just rolled over, groaned, hated myself, and kept walking down a path of the unknown, battling everyday.....so AT LEAST, I do know where I went wrong, got back on the supp's yesterday, and got off my own back, and did fine....have a week to go on 25mg of topa before upping it, but with the supps, it seems to be fine...I am NOT going to try to moderate Bear, you are right, I'm not sure that's wise right now, or maybe ever....I don't want to pick myself up off the floor (literally!) again either....lol....whew...and its too all consuming to try to count, watch out, be careful, all that....so I have 5 AF days, (did yesterday!) 2 major boo-boo's, and 6 total mod's, so for me, that's better than the past 10 yrs total, so I'm patting my back, and going with a friend for a spa visit today....lol....Mother's Day gift to myself! Thanks guys, and please keep me in your prayers this week, my check-up week, travel to get there, etc., is always a tad stressful, even tho I have FAITH it'll be fine!

Day 29 and all is well (chewing nails ). Sorry about the hiccough Tex...its tough indeed but I reckon you know where it went wrong and I am sure you'll get there.
Moderation isnt an option for me...sadly.

Just to lighten things up a bit...how about this...

+++Sally was driving home from one of her business trips
in the Northern
Territory in Australia when she saw an elderly Aboriginal woman
walking on the side
of the road.

As the trip was a long and quiet one she stopped the
car and asked the
Aboriginal woman if she would like a ride. With a
silent nod of thanks
the woman got into the car.

Resuming the journey Sally tried in vain to make a bit
of small talk with
the Aboriginal woman. The old woman just sat
silently, looking intently
at everything in the car studying every little detail
until she noticed a
brown bag on the seat next to Sally.

"What in that bag?" asked the old woman.

Sally looked down at the brown bag and said
"It's a bottle of wine.
I got it for my husband."

The Aboriginal woman was silent for another moment.
Then speaking with the quiet wisdom of an elder she
said
"Good trade that." ++

Will be smiling even more tomorrow, day 30 (going to aural acupuncture tonight. 10 needles in my ears - meant to help relax - will let you know how it goes)

STILL FEEL GOOD but yesterday afternoon was a battle. GRRR

Jay,
That was cute!! Let us know how the accupuncture goes. I have always wanted to try that. Have any of you downloaded the interviews by Wayne Dyer? I really liked them, and would like it if any one else knows of any other "free" download sites like those. I travel a lot and would like to get some good things to listen to while driving. Any suggestions?

[AMELIA]

30 days???

Jaydee, it took a second longer than it should have for the penny to drop for me, but I like that - it's good!

Yeah, I have been offered accupunture too and just might take it up this week. Please post and let us know how it goes.
