One Step at a Time - August 2015

[NoraC]

Well, I turned off my computer and am on my kindle. It just doesn't type right so I'm giving it up for the night.
Catch you tomorrow.

[Rusty]

Oh Madame, show yourself, coward! Why don't you grow some ovaries and tell us who you used to be at MWO until you changed your name. But you'll never do that.... You don't have the guts. So, 'you worthless little troll, why don't you crawl under the bridge until you are brave enough to come out and face us. Funny how you are so quick to
Accuse one of us here but when I ask you to respond, you never have the guts or the class to face me. Pfftttt..LOSER!

[Dottie Belle]

I am pretty sure I know who madame is, based on things said that only she could know based on private conversations I had with her, and I pm'd her....cowardly for sure...and I will out her if she doesn't come forward.

[NoraC]

Well, interesting way to end the day.

Rusty, how long are you staying in Utah? I was in salt lake city once for a software class. But, I didn't get to do any sightseeing.

[Rusty]

Good morning, gang! Regarding Madame's post yesterday, daddy, there have been a few occasions over The last year or so where you mentioned that you had drunk. Your signature line may not be accurate anymore, as far as reflecting your true AF time, but there are several people here who have been drunk from time to time, but did not want to disclose it on the thread, for fear they would not be a good influence on people who are struggling to be AF. This does not automatically mean that you are anyone else in that situation was being dishonest.

Nora, I am leaving Utah after work this afternoon. I am very anxious to get home. Utah is a beautiful state but I miss the lake I can swim in, and my condo pool. They have beautiful lakes in the mountains here but you can't swim in them because the water is too cold. No good for me. I am on an audit here that has gone completely awry. Will be very glad to leave today.

Hi also to Liz. Liz I didn't plan to go on vacation here in Utah, the reason I stayed for the weekend is because I was with another client last week, and these two companies are splitting the airfare. Airfare is a lot cheaper if you have a Saturday night stay.

Welcome back, Pauly! We missed you. Time to work out, but I will be back. I hope everyone has a wonderful Monday!

Hey guys, I think I know who Madame is too,whoever you are though you're obviously still actively drinking and not very happy why not pull up a chair and chat instead? Rusty,my hometown thinks its Utah instead of NV,we get the Salt lake news and everything is closed Sundays,I was over it! Glad to be back in Vegas where even the bank I use is open on Sunday trip wasn't as relaxing as I had envisioned, too much catching up, ran into too many cousins and schoolmates, 3 toddlers and 2 babies running around my dads house, my mom,uncomfortable motel bed,etc,but it was fun,just tiring, drinking was a non issue for me,mom was pretty drunk when we showed up Friday evening, I just let her do her thing,I just tried to stick to my sleep schedule and walks in the morning, it was good now back to the old grindstone, missed you all could have checked in but too damn overwhelmed with everyone around and talking, anyways I'llbe back after wwork, hope everyone has a great Tuesday

[All done drinking]

There is at least one person here who is not truthful about having a drink now and then, and she pretends to be AF. She also isn't truthful in her "positive" comments about some others, when she really thinks you aren't so smart. That stinks. And Mama is always truthful.

A little late to the "negative energy" party as I just saw this post and debate. madame, my suggestion would be to private mail the person you are having an issue with and share your feelings with them. In regards to your comment about her "positive" comments and she thinks others aren't so smart, well that is just your opinion isn't it? We don't know the truth (if any) or validity behind it. My question is "why do you want to create a post that is negative, and puts someone else down with questionable and evasive information? It's just not psychologically healthy or a good thing to do for anybody here.

Good for this person for trying to be AF. I'm on day 26 and it isn't easy but at least they are here trying to work their program. Could I sneak a drink and still say I'm on day 26? Yes, I could, and no-one would know but me. But I would also be the only one I would be hurting with my dishonesty, not really anyone else. I am giving you power by even replying to this dishonorable post but want to share that you are here probably needing help too, so try to take the positives you learn here and leave the negatives behind. Please also know madame, that we have had "posters" in the past just trying to play everybody here because they are so angry with their own dysfunction that they want to create a disturbance. We are not naive to that. So, either "play nice" or don't play here at all.

Addy (All Done Drinking...Yes!)

Morning all
Positivity here today...
Dance lesson later then meeting at church. My allergies are driving me nuts and I hate to take meds. Makes me groggy.
Rained all night and a little gloomy but I will not let that get me down.
Had a nice long chat with Paul last night. He is very sweet.
Pauly glad u are back, hi Nora, liz and Addy. Mama where are you ???

[blue1]

Hello friends. Dottie you are sounding better today. That rain is headed our way. It's been a long time since we've had any and we surely need it.
Nora, do you work full time? Hope your still feeling strong. I must confess, I had thoughts today. Came out of the blue. But I persevered.
Blue, how was your AF Monday? I find day 1 to be the toughest. Hope your feeling ok.
Off to at own meeting. There is a liquor store going up directly across the street from me
It will be on the far side of the property, and for that I'm glad. I will have a parking lot and lovely bushes facing my house. It is currently a farm with a garden store. Can't fight city hall, but darn it we tried. Off to make sure they stay within the parameters of the ordinances. This stuff makes me so anxious!
Nora, I will loss myself in my current book when I get back. I am reading "The Help" and enjoying it very much. Haven't even taken time to watch netflix!
Wish me luck!

Wow Liz....right across the street???

Come over and read my thread about AF Monday....

[blue1]

Hey Liz - thinking of you. I hate when those thoughts just pop into my head! So sorry to hear about the liquor store going up.
I read 'The Help' - really good book.

Pauly - welcome home!

Blue - how did Day 1 go? Hope you're doing ok. It wasn't really a surprise party for my son's girlfriend - it was just the 4 of us. But, she was so touched that we decorated and had gifts and a cake.

Dottie - sounds like a good day you had yesterday.

Mama - hope your trip is going ok.

Rusty - how long are going to be in Utah?

Well - I'll be back. I got home and got on the phone with verizon. Having a big mess and have been dealing with them for days. Transferring me from department to department. I have talked to so many people. Anyway, I'm going to finally go eat dinner and deal with Verizon tomorrow.

Hey Nora...pop on over to my thread about my AF Monday.😉

Hope you have better luck today dealing with Verizon!

[blue1]

Back in town,hello to all will post properly tomorrow, hope everyone has a nice night

Welcome home Pauly!

Way to go Pauly!!!

[blue1]

I agree with you all! Who are we to judge one another??? We're all here cause we have some kind of problem with AL...please let's be kind to one another....

And...I found out starting your own thread can be an awesome thing Madame.
Maybe you will find what you are looking for...we all want to fit in somewhere as we make our individual journey.

Wish you the best!

[NoraC]

Morning all

Blue - I'll hop over there as soon as I can. Right now, I'm sneaking on from work.

Rusty - sorry that your audit went crazy. Were they not ready? Glad you are heading home

One more thing and then I'm going to let this go........yes, if madame was referring to Dottie, Dottie has mentioned that she drank at some point. Not hiding the fact - just not dwelling on it.

Ok - I've been trying to get on here & post for an hour. I'm just going to post this and come back later.

Waving to everybody.

[paulywogg]
