FIREWORKS - ANYONE WANT TO JOIN ME FOR 30 DAYS AF

Happy Tuesday! Crackers! Off to run the races of the dental world again! Anxious to see what the day brings with my newbie co-worker. I think her time is up with us. I just think she has too much going on in her personal life right now to concentrate on a new job. Especially at the level at which we expect her to perform. It will all work out. I am not stressed out about it. I will actually be glad if we terminate her, as I do not trust her. Why is it we women are so tuned in to it, but men are so slow? My boss wanted so hard to believe she wasn't a liar, even though I had given him three examples of bold-faced lies. Usually he is the last to trust anybody! Oh well, I will let you know what happens.
As for me personally, I am feeling great! I can't believe I am moving into double digits~!!! Day 10!! WOW! Who'd a thunk it!? Not ME!!!!! I still crave the wine. It starts about 3pm thinking about after work, sitting with it. Cooking with it, etc. But, I just take my supplements and keep myself busy with work. It passes. When I get home, I have a glass of AF wine, that does the trick. Then, I am good for the night.
Rust, sounds like your weekend was really emotional. I would have had a hard time remaining AF, too. Today is a new day. Mad, enjoy that thing called Summer! Stay outside while it lasts!!

Wish everyone a good day, I will check in later. Toodles.

Hi Crackers!!!! Just checking in before I call it a night. I am up later than I wanted to be, but I had to watch the end of the Cubs (Chicago baseball for those who don't know) game. They are doing so well!!!!!
Spirit-glad you are feeling better. Good job staying AF I had bad cravings today. The worst since I started this 30 days. I managed it though. We will get through this!!!!!

Evie!!!!! Way to Go, girl!!!! Go for another 30!! Gold Stars for you, babe!

Hello to all to follow and good morning to those I miss in the morning. Good night! Day 10 done...... Looking at day 11. Wow!!

Oh, btw, the girl in my office sent my boss an email full of drama and excuses and quit. It is totally for the best. She didn't have what it takes to work in our office. So, back to square one in the hiring process. We have been at this for over a year. Oh well, we will take as long as it takes to find high quality people.

Toodles, all

Hi Firecrackers

Well done Evie, you should be so proud of yourself. Keep hanging in there Spirit, WE WILL get there. The cravings are a pain and hit you out of the blue. Sometimes I wish I wasnt such a wuss about taking medication and just took the antibuse. It would make things so much easier. However, I am a wuss so I will just struggle along and keep trying to get as much AF time under my belt as possible. Last night was an easy one, no cravings at all. So its Day 3 and I want to make tonight an AF one as well.

Teardrop you are an inspiration, I know how much you struggled at the beginning. It gives me hope that I too can do it. You too East, hope all is going well for you at the moment. Know you said you might be away Sweetpea but we are all thinking of you. Lukalee, Madmummy, Shelby, Pamina, Cowgirl and anyone else I missed big hello. Anyone heard from Suki or Fby??

Cravings hit hard yesterday; couldn't drink though because the kids were home, thank God. But today I go to the doctor for a physical and hopefully Chantix. My AL mind keeps telling me, Just one more night out then you can quit drinking AND smoking. Ugghh!!

Hi Firecrackers
Still having BIG problems with internet provider not sorting my connection! ARRRGH!

Seems like things on the whole are good for everyone.Well done on all your AF days.
Apart from the two glasses two weeks ago I would be on day 82 AF today. Feel like a different person. It IS worth the fight. Every AF day COUNTS!!
Teardrop well done you are are star and doing soooooooooooooo well :goodjob:
Rustop I can't believe that it has been a month since you lost your cousin. The fact that she had her life cut short when she was a nurse in her working life seems so unfair.
Memories are all we have and in the end all we are. It is good that you have lots to remember of her. Thinking of you and sending you strength:l
I have not heard from Suki or Flby, do miss them!

Take care everyone and keep on guard!

Good afternoon Crackers, A beautiful day in in the Northeast, hoping you all beautiful weather as well. Sure helps with the positive outlook.

Cowgal, congrats on day 9

Spiritgirl & Rustop, good job battling the cravings. They sure can pop up quickly. Rustop you are not a wuss about popping pills. Probably a good thing as alot of the nation are looking for a quick fix for everything and popping way too many pills.

Teardrop, Sorry to hear about your loss. When my step grandmother died we went back to the house and my stepmom was going through stuff for family. Is'nt funny its the the monetary thing that mean so much as the sentimental things.

Wakeupmom, Don't you know you get to count backwards after 40. Sending you strength.

Lukalee, Strength to you as well, I cannot imagine have to battle alcohol and nicotine. You can do it.

Eastender, "Worth the fight, ever AF day counts" You can say that again.

57Shelby, Good job on day 11. I sympathize with your job. I have been in the dental field in one form or another for 14 years. Why they never made a soap opera about a dental office I don't know. "As the Drill Spins" Ha Ha

Hello to Evielou, congratulations on 30 days. Hello to Pamina and especially Sweetpea.

Looking forward to my sister and her boyfriend visiting from Florida tonight thru next
week. I am confident I will remain AF. We are a bunch of drinkers, or at least I was with them but I have all my tools and support with me. Take care everyone.
