One Step at a Time - August 2018

[NoraC]

Welcome to August. I hope that we continue with our self-care. I know that the better I take care of myself, then the better I deal with life.

This from the G-man's thread this morning [MENTION=7261]Guitarista[/MENTION]

Great to wake up sober. That dont git old. Not so cold today, some blue sky around. Sadhana done. Daily practice of some kind of self care can reverse our default negative thought patterns. The Yogi's have been saying this for thousands of years, and western science backs it up.

Good Afternoon, Steppers!

Lovely to see you [MENTION=17632]Mr Vervill[/MENTION] and my heartthrob, [MENTION=7261]Guitarista[/MENTION], popping in via quotation, hahaha!!

I accidentally posted this on the July thread this morning:

Good Morning and Happy August!

Nora-what kind of CBD oil do you use and how do you use it? My hips and lower back hurt all the time. So glad the baby is finally home! YAY!!!
[MENTION=19302]Lizann[/MENTION]-I like traveling alone for the most part but I cancelled my weekend excursion to the Bridal Veil Falls in Utah this weekend. I will leave on Sunday and Saturday. It cost me $656 to make the change, but I just feel like I would enjoy it so much more if I had someone special to share it with and enjoy. I don't feel that way very often. I will spend Saturday with my Mom and frankly, I enjoy the lake I live near so much better than mountains that I will relish my time at home this weekend. Mom is thrilled. :-) I understand how thoughts of your dad just hit you hard. I had them when my dad died, too.

Pauly-I am so proud of you for getting through your visit with your family sober. I think this is the first time in a long time you have gotten through those visits without drinking. GOOD FOR YOU!

Hi Glassie! When do you leave on your trip?

Hi [MENTION=11089]techie[/MENTION]...so glad you popped in to see us.

[MENTION=2634]bird[/MENTION]-where are you?

Big hellos to everyone I missed...I must drive home now...I was too tired to drive last night after work.

Happy First Day of August, AF and Caring!! ****I am home from MN...YIPPEE!!!!

Re: One Step at a Time - August 2018

Happy August! I was over on the July thread too [MENTION=1214]Rusty[/MENTION]. I'm sure your moms is thrilled that you will be spending the time with her. Hubby and I could get away now since my mom could watch the dog. Neither one of us is feeling it. Just want to stick close to home. I think I know how you feel,
Nothing much new here. Mark ran into a bit of a snag with his flat, positive thoughts that the wire transfer comes through in time. Always something right?
Hope everyone is doing ok and on board for a positive self caring August.

Re: One Step at a Time - August 2018

Hi all - have to admit that I haven't done very well on the self-caring today. osteroops: So, I still have a couple hours to take care of that.
[MENTION=1214]Rusty[/MENTION] - I have been using 4 Corners Cannabis (oral tincture). I order it online and they have pretty quick delivery. I think they are in Colorado but I'm not sure. I have tried a couple other brands but this is the one that I'm using. It is pricey. I stopped using it because I didn't think it was helping and the pain/stiffness started worse. So, I realized that it was working. I am just considering this as a medical expense and not dwelling on the cost.
I belong to a fibromyalgia facebook group and so many people have been able to get off of narcotics with this. I really recommend it.

Oh Liz - poor Mark. What happens if this falls thru - will he have to start looking again?

What's new with everyone? Rusty - sorry about the trip but glad that you are doing what you want!

Re: One Step at a Time - August 2018

Eeek! I’m starting to get really stressed about how much I have to do over the next few months.
The only way I can imagine getting through it all is if I find a way to clone myself.

Or get one of these: :fairy:

Oh Glassie :sad:

Re: One Step at a Time - August 2018

Morning friends,Glassy try not to get too overwhelmed a bit here and there and it'll all be done before you know it not much going on here,was reading the Army this morning and they were discussing if a person who drank heavily can go about drinking moderately,I know I can't!! But in my life I've known several who do,,hubs,my dad,one of my close friends and a few others how about you guys? Anyhoo off to get ready for work(boooooooo) much love to all and have a positive AF Thursday

Re: One Step at a Time - August 2018

My hubby can just have one beer if he wants. Used to be 10 at a time. But not me for sure. And why bother anyway. Ha ha

Re: One Step at a Time - August 2018

Big waves and smilies,
I've known a good few people that have done the same......gone from heavy drinking to moderate drinking.........normally as they've aged, taken on more financial burdens, busy jobs and or just got fed up with it.

The point I was making was that those people didn't join a website to teach them how to cut down..
