    SOBER OCTOBER

    Congrats on your 100 days, Free. I somehow missed that.

    Tom -- what a lot to take on. Congrats!

      Thanks, Tom. Feeling ever so grateful today. Got in a swim, a workout, and a massage. Now that's a celebration!

                Surfin' that urge

                Well, I'm unexpectedly out of town for work. Yesterday I was looking forward to a peaceful weekend at home with my hubby and kids. Last night, it all changed. And so here I am. Sitting in a Japanese reataurant - not the pizza restaurant I walked in, and out of, as much as I would LOVE to be chowing down on pizza. - sipping at my soda water. Man, a wine would be good right now. It's harder away, on my own. But I'm gonna just get to the other side of this dinner. And think about how good I'll feel about myself tomorrow for not drinking. And how every drink I don't have...takes me another step away fromy mother's fate.

                  Good for you!!!! The long timers tell us to think it thru. You are doing it! You know where you want to be tomorrow. Remembering this AF night! :h:h

                    Hey, Quake. Hope you made it through ok. I like your mindset: "I'm just gonna try to get to the other side of this dinner". Good stuff right there.

                      And, Nora, can you please change that damn avatar when we move into the November thread? It gives me the creeps and I'm tired of Mr. Moustache staring at me while I'm trying to focus.

                        Hi Quake, the unexpected change in routine can sure throw us off balance with regard to AF resolve. My advice? Drink so much water (soda/seltzer water helps as it seems to fill me up more) that you couldn't possibly put in another ounce of anything liquid. The water is great for your skin as well.

                        Nora/Tom -- looking forward to the puppet show, or dance, or whatever you come up with.

                        Now it's time for me to focus -- probably on getting some work done.

                        Happy Sunday everyone.

                              Lmao. I gotta tell ya, Nora, i started connecting the dots and I'm a little scared of you. You have your 50 shades of grey thing and then you casually announce that you have rugburn on your face. Emoticons with whips now too. Oh, and i dug through some of your old posts as well: tom selleck in assless chaps? How do you safely get candle wax off a hamster? I'm on to you, freaky.

                                Get a room - or a divorce - you two. You're starting to sound like my dysfunctional parents.

                                AF BENEFIT ALERT: I LOST 5LBs this week!!! Yes, partly the stepped up exercise programme - but then I can, can't I, since I am not comatose and sludgy every morning. So excited.

                                Thanks for all the support last night, I got through. Ended up eating ice cream and going to a movie - the ice cream bit didn't thrill me, but I was really pleased with myself for getting to the other side.

                                Only 4 more sleeps and it's a month...and onto No Way November
