One Step at a Time - December 2014

Oh, Sun you have done so well. So did you end up drinking? Just think that you have been good and your body is better for it. Hope you sleep ok.

[sunshinedaisies]

Yes I did Meggie ....and I am SO cross with myself. I know how bad a nights sleep I am going to have .... WHY do I do this ? I am not having any more - and am shortly getting ready for bed. I am just so ticked with me .....

[Dottie Belle]

sun what happened??? why didnt u take the pill???

[Lizann]

Meggie, always room for one more here! What is the topa thread?
Sunnie what happened? I must admit I spoke to Erin on the phone about an hour ago and she was having a glass of wine and I SOOOO wanted one too!!! I am craving this evening and have compensated with food. Tomorrow I start back with my regular routine of eating healthier and running. I'm sorry you drank, please don't be too hard on yourself. Those days you didn't drink are worth lots!!
Dottie, so sad for you! It's a difficult anytime of the year, but the holidays are especially tough. It's good that you have your trains to distract you. I'm thinking I need to get a hobby.
Had a busy day at church today. Dottie our congregation consists largely of older people too. We celebrated the advent. Our kids especially love this celebration.
Watching patriots football and missing my Erin. She is a diehard patriot fan and I miss watching with her.
Good night and sweet dreams my loves!

Good Morning - well, as predicted, a terrible nights sleep - woke up at 1.30 and could NOT get back to sleep so finally took a melatonin - big mistake as when it finally kicked in, my alarm was going off ....that'll teach me !

Dottie, I am not sure why I decided to drink - I knew the minute that I didn't take my AB yesterday first thing what was going to happen ....I will learn one day I suppose - I just HAVE to take the AB first thing - my last drink was around 6.30 though so I can take the AB fairly soon ....

The other thing was that I had a nose bleed yesterday evening too - first one in about a week I think - and wonder if the AL contributed to that.

Lizanne, the Topa thread is the thread that both Meggie and Post on - I used to take Topa and managed to stop drinking with it for 8 months! Meggie posts there too but it gets VERY quiet sometimes and right now basically there are just the two of us .... LOL

Got to get ready for work ... back later, Hugs, Sun XX

[meggie]

Sun, did you not sleep because you drank. I don't sleep when I don't drink. I am posting at 7 am. Can anyone tell me why it says a later time.

good morning loves
the party was a blast and my team won.....and people I had not for year were there......
I rested yesterday and realized I had not seen Dixie all day....I searched the neighborhood and my neighbor called and said he heard meowing.......we finally tracked her 50 feet up an oak tree.....meowing her poor little head off.....I stood in the rain for an hour and called and called and she finally crept and slid down the tree and fell into my arms.....it was traumatizing for both of us, but she is purring here beside me now
I have to get ready for work.....it's cold and rainy here
sorry you drank Sun....good job Pauly.....I drank Saturday night....
love you all

Meggie - you can change your time zone in settings - I had the same issue ......

MB - SDO glad that you find your kittie - how traumatic for all of you though!!

off to work ...... it has just started raining for the temp is 35 so it will stay as rain thank goodness!

Hugs, Sun XX

[Lizann]

Sorry you did not sleep Sunny, hope you're feeling better today. May I ask what your job is? Will the fact that you drank yesterday make it a difficult day for you? That is usually the case for me.. I unfortunately sleep very well when I drink.

Mama sounds like you had a great weekend minus the Dixie incident. Is she out during the day or night.

My weekend was busy and productive. I managed a four day weekend. Food shopping and laundry on the agenda today. I must get on that treadmill as I ate sooo much all weekend. Going to finish off some Christmas shopping if I can.

Happy Monday!

[Dottie Belle]

Morning all,
The lady from church died last night so another funeral this week...the gal who runs our committee is going to be a first time grandmother any day now so this complicated things....
We are off to the gym then post office to mail gifts. I would like to mail lumps of coal to the grandkids but did get gift cards...ggggrrrrrrr
Cold and dreary to add to the day...
Back later.

Hello everyone.......I just want to say that I am sorry that I have been absent. I need to read back & catch up with everyone. I just haven't been on my computer much at all. I really feel guilty for not keeping up with everyone here.

Things are ok here. Just haven't had much to contribute. I've been thinking of you all & will try very hard to be more active here. xxxx

[mama bear]

Nora - you sound depressed......I withdraw sometimes, but usually it just a few days. Plus, you have been sick, and the holidays are here and I know you miss your parents......we are all here and we love you.
Dots - are the frequent deaths bothering you? I am not sure I could be so involved. Then again, my aunt-in law is very involved in her Catholic church and it is her entire social life.
I t grey and drizzly and Monday....so ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
I am trying to make Dixie be an indoor cat, but she loves to sit on the porch and watch the birds and lizards, plus it is so nice not to have a litter box...

[mama bear]

you sound great Lizz :-)
oh yeah...I found quite a bit of Topa under bath sink if anyone would like me to send it to them. I couldn't take it......

Hello everyone!

I'm at the dentist with Mathieu...can't tell you how happy I am about that. Trying to coordinate that damn tooth being knocked out down in AZ was hell....

Ops dr. Just walked in. Back in a bit:heartbeat:
