Anyone in the First Week of Their Unpteenth Quit?

[open halo]

Ginger!!!! Big Congrats on your 9 months, very inspirational! :applouse:

Thanks for such uplifting real posts cowboy. I tried AA but with my schedule and kids couldn't get there regularly, that is why I like MWO so much , it is so easily accessible, and I get so much from everyone's posts and feel safe here. Thanks so much everyone!

Minstar, you sound great, happy and busy and reflective on your past quits and what you need to do to make it work this time around for you. Keep up the great focus.

SS I really like your analogy about being AF for 9 months, I like thinking if I can get to that stage, I am actually being reborn into a better life, that I and my family deserve. It's a great way to think of the future.

Lizann the early to bed routine seems to be working for both of us, especially during these dog days of winter! Keep us posted on your kitchen renovations!

Welcome crockettaa this is a great thread, hope you join us on our journey to ditch AL for good. There are really great, inspiring people who are willing to help and listen. Wishing you the very best.

Well two more days to the weekend! Looking forward to some down time.

Hi gang,
Another busy day with work and our sons school activities. It is Catholic school week, so lots of extra events and silliness to join in on. I managed to clock over 12,000 steps on my Fitbit today.

Glad to see everyone post and having a good day. Welcome Crocketta. We love to have new friends.
SS and Open Halo - love the 9 month analogy and the rebirth, new beginning. Nice.
Early to bed for me, feel like I have something coming on and I am going to fight it off!!

Have a good evening and an even better Thursday.

Ginger - what state are you in now?

Well guess what, milestones back to back among our threaders! No matter what the milestone, each one is important! So if you run into a certain angel who is still working on closing her halo, pass on a :hug: and say

open halo on your 2 month milestone!

BeachGirly, I am with you, very grateful for this thread. It is a significant key to my 2 months of success thus far, I am looking to good days going forward, being inspired by those who are racking up those AF days!

Thanks cowboy for the beautiful shout out, so glad you are here with us!

Nice to see you pauly hope you've been doing well, can't do it just yet but thinking of trading in coffee for decaf teas.

Minstar those school activities can sap the energy out of you, hope you are saving time for just you, as hard as it can be sometimes.

One more day till Friday, YES. Sending some good wishes to everyone, let's get this weekend under our belt kicking AL to the curb! :heartbeat:

[open halo]

I know it's been said already but it's worth repeating, thanks so much SS for starting this thread, it has become a safe haven for us.

Ginger hope you are having a great time where it is WARM, living vicariously through you, thanks for always encouraging us newbies as we soldier on :hug:

Hit the floor running today! Took Cjs car for new tires, shopped for samples of back splash and plumbing supplies. Came home and started scrubbing cabinets inside and out. Did a bit of laundry. Ran out to pick up Cjs car and dinner and then continued cleaning. Only half way done with the cabinets and I have a small kitchen! I'm exhausted and honestly didn't even think of drinking today. Congrats on all the milestones, glad to be here with you all.
