FIREWORKS - ANYONE WANT TO JOIN ME FOR 30 DAYS AF

Im still AF....

Hi everyone,

my brother has only let a friend from the past in his house for 2weeks because he has no where to go (ballsh*t) before he goes into detox, this person is a crack head on cocaine the mission has fund him detox for 18months. but even the rev said to my brother dont let him in. the good thing he has given my brother money this time for staying. but it is not the point there is no way he is going to stop using his drugs and drinking at the sometime. I have not told my sister because she has had a foot opperated on plus she on the patches and got high blood pressure if i ring her i know she will start smoking. Right now im feeling stress out i have given up all my saturdays since last feb. my brother has been doing so well even better then me...I dont like the sound of this guy because my brother has said when his on it, he seems to have a lot of anger inside him. his not answering his phone so i know i have got to go round there.....

I hope everyone has more of a stress free day then me. Tomorrow will be a new day.

Take care all firecrackers.

Love
Teardrop.x

Hi Firecrackers,

Just popping in!!

Teardrop, stay in touch!! We worry about you! Sounds like a not good situation to say the least. Don't compromise yourself!

Rustop - Sweet 16, how fun!! Hope it went well!

Carmac, lukalee, patricia and lynn, Hi!! Hope it is going well!!

Day 7 for me!! Not getting too confident. The most I have done in the past year is 18 days and 11 days. Welcome any firecracker wisdom for staying the course.

Hi Firecrackers

Hope you are ok Teardrop, let us know how you got on. Well done Evergreen, before you know it you will be into double digits, just take it ODAT. Some people swear by L-glut under the tongue when the craving starts. I tried it once but other times the drinking voice took over and I had poured the drink before getting out the l-glutamine.

Lukalee, Sweetpea, Erin, Lynn, Patricia, East and everyone else big hello. The party went fine yesterday and she's gone off on a school trip since 6.30 a.m. Staying AF really helped with the 5.30 a.m. wake up call this morning!

Thanks Lukalee and Rustop!! I am cautiously optimistic this time!! One thing that may help is I am joining a ''slimdown'' group tomorrow. I am feeling really chunky right now and need to eat better and exercise more regularly. The whole program is based on behavior mod and overall lifestyle changes. Right up my alley for where I am now!! I can include staying AF without really discussing what a problem it is. I am hoping that as time goes by I can use the system down the road to mod if I think that it is possible. I am not ready to make that decision yet. I also think exercise is going to help me stay on track or at least feel better!!!!!

Have a great evening Firecrackers.

Im ok!

Hi everyone , Thanks for caring so much dont know what i do without all you lovely people.

Well got round brother house yesterday and was really surprise that he seems to have everything under control.:fingers:. His friend was not there he is working at the building site. my brother did say to his friend no drugs in the house do what you want outside, I did check my bro bin bags to make sure there was no cans, but he was honest and said he had two cans of stella on the way to my house the other day when he had to post the rent money from his friend, in my letter boxs. Plus his friend does not want a spare key from my bro.(thank god) But i still need to keep a close eye out. Good News bro got a enough money to get a fridge freezer this weekend at last. Things are looking up for him he is also going to collage now twice a week and he looks really good in himself. so on the whole his realizing what he can do without the al in his life. Now i need to concentrate on ME now.

Evergreen... enjoy your slimdown group it sound interesting. i do agree with you on the exercise it does get you on track also for me makes me feel good and gets me out of those changing moods. I went out on my bike last night in the cold, this year im not letting the bad weather stop me from doing my exercise. i cant afford to go to the gym but im begining to appreciate the out door life more.
Rustop...hows the floor going in the bedroom. got to say it does feel good having NO hangover feeling in the morning.
Sweetpea....thank you ..i have not done the boot sale yet but this will have to be on the top of my lists.
East... let us know how you doing and how did the visit go with your sister?
Lukalee... you sound really good in youself.....

All the other firecrackers big hello and have a great wednesday everyone.

I need to get to my group sessions soon.

Take care
Love

Hi everyone

Beautiful morning here with the sun shining. Glad everything is ok Teardrop, you are right concentrate on you now. I think cycling and walking is much more enjoyable than the gym. I walk nearly every day and do have a bike but the roads are too busy to take it out too much and no cycle lanes as they are country roads.

Floor is down in daughters room and I nearly have it painted. She's doing three walls cream and the wall above the bed deep purple. It will be interesting to say the least as to how it turns out. The other one is doing up her room purple and aqua.

Feeling good as I am on a healthy eating programme, want to loose a stone before christmas. Taking it ODAT though. Hope everyone is doing good. Catch you all later.

Hi Firecrackers!!

Happy Wednesday! Quick post - have to get to the dentist!!

Whew! Teardrop, glad to hear that things are well with your brother!! Exercise wise, I am trying to mix things up and do alot outside. For me it is just a matter of getting off my butt!! I actually prefer to run outside when it is cool/cold. It gets pretty hot here in the summer and that is miserable. I have a yellow lab who is 92 pounds and need to keep active. She is and EXTREMELY enthusiastic and always willing walking mate!!

Rustop - how much is a stone? I am trying to get off the sweets and eat better as well. The room colors sound great. My girls did all different shades of blue and then painted glow in the dark stars on the ceiling (they didn't really glow). It is nice for them to declare their own space!

Hi Lynn, Sweetpea and other crackers!!

Have a good humpday!

Evergreen... last night i did go for a run but late in the eveming(sh*t) nearly trip over a bump om the pavemant did i go flying but manage to control myself from falling on the floor. I thoght to myself thank god ot was dark and no one saw me not like before when i trip over my shoe laces. Any way could not stop laughing to myself just thinking of the happy hump day thread. must of put a curse on me.
Sweetpea.... looking forward to your your post and update.

yesterday went to my group sessions i love going there got there a bit late but there is always the few that will look at you and give you the eye and the nod to say are you alright. wow they are also a caring bunch just like all yous lot here on mwo. They have seen me at my bad times and good times and also seen me breakdown and cry so i do feel at home and relax there now. i should think so been going there nearly a year november. today not got much work, going to finish of my application form for this new job and hand it in by hand. plus took my daughter net curtains down last night and soak them in the bath over night thats how dirty they are. so i shall be window cleaning just up stair and think about down stair maybe the weekend. looks like we have the sun out today i knew this would happen summer is coming late.

Hi Firecrackers!!!:bananacomputer:

Teardrop - LOL- I have so been there! :threesome: I went to the gym yesterday and then in the evening took the dog out on the leash. Very enthusiatic 90+ lb yellow lab!! Loves to dash up and greet EVERYONE - friend and foe alike!! If she sees a rabbit, I have to just let her go - she has dragged me across the yard before. I figure I don't need to do upper body weight training if I continue to walk her!! I am trying to walk her every evening during the witching hour!! You do windows??? Come on over! It sounds as if you have a great group!!

Hi Rustop, lukalee, and all other firecrackers!! Sweetpea, good morning to you as well. Just completed day 8 and hopeful that I may make it to 30 for once!!

Have a great day!:crazymonkey:

Hi Firecrackers

Good to see you back East, hope the visit with your sister went ok. Well done Evergreen, you are getting there. You too Teardrop you sound much better. Keeping busy helps doesnt it? Just taking a break from the painting. Have daughters room nearly completed. She wants to choose the purple that I am putting behind her bed so I have to wait untill she gets back to do that. Off now to clean the mess she has made in the spare room as her sister wants to move in while she paints her room. Note she's the one painting, her ladyship prefers the maid to do it!!

Sweetpea, Lukalee and everyone else big hello, catch you all later.j
