      You have a wonderful sense of humor, Nora. I would hate to see that destroyed by drinking. The threats start coming toward the end of the month.

        :thanks: Keep threatening up. :l
        But, don't worry. I took my antabuse pill this morning. So, I'm all set. The code for that is Yes, I TTFP. You need to worry about me when I start skipping days. That means trouble is brewing. :upset:

          Morning all. Past the half way point. Hope the resolve is still there for everyone. Got in a half-assed workout this morning before work because i was running a little late and somehow managed to spill an ice cold protein smoothie all over myself while showering. Dont ask. Im a spaz and a half.

            Wow, you really are into multi-tasking Tom; showering while drinking a smoothie. I can barely shower and shave my legs without falling out of the shower.

            I finally got two work-outs in. On Monday I walked in the Gatineau Hills around Pink Lake, up and down the steep hills with huffin' and puffin' hubby. It was very satisfying. Yesterday and today I managed to jump on my rebounder. Hope to keep it up. Boy do I jiggle when I bounce. Gotta tighten up.

            Hope everyone has a great hump day. This Friday my baby grandson comes for the weekend so Mommy and Daddy can go away for a wedding. Should be fun.

                  Sobers oil sounds like a good weekend ahead. How old is the grandbaby?

                  Tom that ice cold smoothie must have been eye opening!

                  Nursie glad to hear the depression is lifting. Your doing great!

                  So tired tonight, so off to bed!

                    Nursie - you are sounding better. :l Great job!!

                    Liz - I'm tired too. Bed sounds wonderful.

                    Tom - I don't usually drink in the shower. It makes things watery.

                      Still here, and still on the wagon.
                      Not finding it hard. But aware that is when I am most vulnerable (oh, this is EASY!), and can get caught off guard.
                      Depressing session with drinking shrink (that is, shrink I am seeing about drinking, rather than shrink who drinks). We drew up a list of pros and cons on the board, and all I could think was 'well, the cons aren't THAT big a price to pay for all that good stuff like escaping, having fun, being more fun to be around, getting high etc). Made me feel really quite hopeless and down. But anyway, clearly not enough to drive me to drink. So day 18 for me, and going strong.
                      Loving getting out of bed in the morning, clear headed, and leaping into it at the gym. Loving getting through a dinner party clear headed and not feeling woozy and sloppy and out of control. Loving losing the guilt and the regrets and self flagellation for not controlling myself. Again. Loving the 600 - 800 liquid calories I am not consuming every day in wine (but probably am in sugar - next week's challenge = get the eating in line).
                      Onwards. Quake.

                        Treadmill isn't making noise anymore, yay! Worked out for over an hour today, cleaned the house, laundry, some quick errands, made butternut squash soup for dinner, went to the doctor! I need to go back to work to relax. Getting blood work done tomorrow to make sure my liver enzymes are ok. It's been five weeks so I'm hoping all will be ok. Dealing with a sinus headache tonight so I'll just take it a little easy tonight.

                              Nurse I am so with you on the depression! I've never experienced it before until I started freeing myself from Al.. It is awful but I felt a little lighter today as well:l

                              Liz my treadmill sounds like a 200 pound asmatic. Can you come over and fix mine!

                              Hugs to you Sober and ever one of my people :l
