30 days???

hey

It is Friday day 1 AF for me (hopefully for the rest of my life, but we'll see) LUV, sorry you had a bad night last night, you made it AF though, so you are a success!

Nibs, thanks for the encouraging words, just feeling a little down lately and drinking so much over the past week didn't help, it is a depressant, duh!? I think you are right, I was pretty bored, burnt out of the old job and had been thinking of a change for a while, now it WILL happen:l:h........................just wish the economy was stronger, nobody has called about any jobs I have applied for yet, so I am feeling insecure.

More2, sounds like a great idea, going to the pool today to read and catch some rays.

Tex, looking forward to actually "meeting you", this in itself will make the trip worthwhile!

Bird, hope you are enjoying school, I am taking a class (European history........YAWN!) but it is widening my horizons and good to learn.....................can never stop learning, right!?

Cindi, hope you are hanging in there, I will keep you in my thoughts, hope the antabuse is helping..................you sound good.

Majic, thanks for stopping by!

Ducky, I am soooooooooooooo looking forward to next week, you and Best and everyone else here are so positive, even if it is difficult for you still................I am keeping an open mind.

Lots of love to you all, off to the gym for the first time in about a week..............much needed!

MA:l:h

30 days???

More2, you are a lil Seattle white girl, don't sun damage that purty face, I don't need a friend that is a crispy critter! I know you are gearing up for life in the desert tho...lol...I'll have to bring you a case of sunscreen when I come to visit from the pharmacy! LOL Luv, I know those days are tough for you, you are moving on tho, and doing great, even if its a struggle, you have a wonderful new man, and the kids are back, and your Mama is resting in peace, and things are looking up, so, just know Billy and Bear are probably shooting pool together, peeking down thru the clouds sometimes, and thinking...."geeezzzz peeps, get a grip, where you are, ain't nothing, just wait, and quit your fretting!"
I know Bear is saying that....lol..... So say a prayer, and blow a kiss in the air, and hug your new man!
That's all we can really do. Cowgal, I'm excited to meet you too! And don't even think about it NOT working, just decide that it IS going to help! I know you've talked to lots it helped, I'm going to do a poll and find out what the others that it didn't succeed a 100% for, what they'd do different in hindset, or what they did during their time there, or whatever, so I can make sure you have the best navigator around!!! I'm so glad you are on day 1 AF! That's great!!! And you better bring your tennie boots and shorts, we can walk all over the area we are staying in Houston, and they have a gym at the hotel, I gotta keep up my routine, or I'll sit down and eat ice cream instead! LOL Where is Bird??? Nibs, you gotta send the Spy Goat out! Bird may have burned up her brain with school, and is drolling in a lawn chair outside..... Nibs, also, glad the job is going well, wahhhhwhooooo, I know you used to just dread it, see God does answer prayers! Love you all tons and buckets! Going for what will probably be the last swim of the season, its getting into the 60's here at night after the hurricane system went thru, so the water is cooling off....I'm going go work on my tan, I can't let More2 get ahead of me!!!! Then off to the gym with hubby after he gets off work....will check in later!

30 days???

Oh geez Nibs. I'm so sorry about Cody. You are breaking my heart. I've been ate up with homework. The math is so hard. Dont know how I'm gonna get through it....took the kids to a jazz concert last night and didnt get home till midnight. Havent been up that late in years. Not much else here. Just study all the time.CG I'm excited for you. Can't wait to hear all about it.....something funny happened. We were sitting out in the yard and a cicada flew around and hit the ground. One of the chickens ran over and pecked it and the cicada made that weird noise they make. It frightened the chicken and she ran away. The kids were cracking up....later on...bird

Good to see you Bird. Glad school is going well. Hope everyone has a nice Saturday.

[cowgal]

30 days???

Saturday

Well, Bird, glad to see you!! That is a funny story, could just imagine one of ours doing that(chickens)!!:H:H

Leaving tomorrow AM, busy day today, giving the horses away, been crying my eyes out for a few days, guess "feeling those feelings" instead of "numbing them out" is rough! Normal for my first days AF though, I can cry over anything, now being unemployed, broke, what else??? Divorce doesn't seem that scarey anymore, I am losing all the things I feared I would anyway, right??? :upset::upset:

In AA they say not to make any major decisions your first year, well, I cannot even string 30 days together in these conditions! BUT nobody pours the beer down my throat but myself, so I am the only one to blame there.......................

Sorry to ramble, will have a LOOOONG day tomorrow, looking forward to Monday! Wed. and Thurs are my follow-ups and I travel another REALLY looonnnnggg day again on Friday and get home Sat AM actually......................don't know about computer access there, so this may be it until I get back...........will try to check in before I leave though.

love you all!!!!:l:h

Hello all and especially Cowgirl,
I just wanted to stop by and wish you a wonderful trip. May your encounter bring you all the peace and happiness that you so deserve. I will be thinking about you for all of next week. Big hugs to you lady.

Nibs, I am so sorry about your beloved friend passing away. I know how hard it must have been for you. May he canter in sunshine and always have a fresh bowl of sweet oats where ever he has gone.
In case that you want to know how I am doing, I have reached my 90 plus days and am feeling absolutely great. I have lost almost 15 pounds and every week I am packing up stuff to go to the Sally Ann. In my freshly refurbished optimism I know that I will never wear that crap again....LOL. The latent depression that has plagued me for years has all but disappeared. Life isn't perfect but the alternative was unbearable.

I wish you all a wonderful weekend and stay out of the wind and rain.

Hugs
Lori

Congratulations Lorisunshine !!! and thanks for all the kind words from everybody xxx It helps alot at I kick this "funk"...
Bird, I wish I could take some of the workload off you Sweetie,,,, that story is soooooo funny though !!!

Luv, I'm gosh darn proud of you sweetie as you proudly stayed AF xxx You are totally amazing.
We have to run to town to pick up #2 son, then we are going to complete the roofing job we had begun last weekend at camp.
First though I have a whack of laundry out on the line that has to come in... Today I harvested all the corn, blanched it and froze 11 nice bags... Nothing quite like homegrown corn during the winter months.

Be well everybody, I love you all, Hugs,xxx

Hi back at you, Morrison!!

Bird, I wish I could sit with you and help with the Math. Don't hesitate to pm me if you get really stuck. I tutored hubby, son and daughter with theirs.

Mary Anne, The time is drawing close!! I am very excited for you. You MUST go there with an open mind and hope in your heart. You will be healed, girl. You will be, I just know it.

Luv, More2, Nibs, Magic, Lori, Oky, Best, Momof3, Hi!!

I am not only "hanging in there, I am rockin' and a rollin'" the Antabuse is just such a Godsend for me.

My 8 year old grandson is watching me type this and says I spelled everyone's name wrong. :H

Magic, are you locking up and turning off the lights tonight?

Love,
Cindi
