FIREWORKS - ANYONE WANT TO JOIN ME FOR 30 DAYS AF

Hi, All. Indiamike checking in. Working on Day 9AF and so far so good. Been watching your posts when I can but it is crazed at work and I am helping my eldest daughter move this weekend 7 hours away. (Her first "real" place since college.)

As for the hang-gliding - as one who has done it, parachuted, paraplaned, parasailed, etc - IT TAKES COURAGE and CONFIDENCE! Congrats to Teardrop!

And Sweetpea - Everyone in my office seems ill (but me so far) so am washing hands, using Purell constantly. With the weather here fluxuating from 70 one day to 32 the next, we are ripe for an epidemic!

Again, thanks to each and everyone of you for these posts. They are a LIFEsaver!

Have a Great day!!!!
Erin

Morning Everyone another good day where I have kept the beast at bay :yay: and feel so much better than I did. Still a long way to go before I think before I really feel right but I am certainly getting there

Rus day 10 you star. Re the mulled wine why don't you say you are on antibiotics for something like an ear infection so you mustn't drink with the tablets. Might get miss pushy off your case!!

:danthin: Eze not quite sure if my bones feel connected all over yet but making a feeble attempt to join in with the fun. The tune has certainly been in my head all day and I have mentally been limbering up for some gentle exercise LOL

Suki looking forward to feeling 100% again thanks so much for your kind words

Eastender day 10 how fantastic. This pea has got some catching up to do. I hope those builders get their act together and finish so you can get some good quality rest and enjoy having the house back to rights again LOL

Fby thanks for the hug I have been in real need of some TLC over the last few days. I am looking forward to the time I am up for a bit of exercise. Thought I would start with some aqua aerobics to start with then progress to the gym!! Well maybe!!

Teardrop hope you caught up with some sleep and rested. You mustn't overdo things but so pleased you are feeling so much better

Erin Day 9 well done, being busy at work is probably being a help. Moving kids into their own place can be real hard work. Also mixed feelings because on one hand your pleased they have the confidence to make it on their own but on the other you know you are going to miss having her around - 7 hours away isn't too bad though with fast transport

Lukalee LOL hope you are having a good day

Another day just outside the beltway!

Hi, All and again, thanks :thanks: for your words of encouragement. I'm now on Day 10, feeling very proud of myself and so not willing to slip as I have in the past again, and again and again. I know this last round was due to the PTSD from my time in Jordan,Iraq and Afghanistan in '05 and '06 but I am no longer willing to let that be an "excuse". No, it was not a good experience (the tales I could tell) but still, I need to get on with my life and with the help of a counselor very well versed in PTSD, plus depression meds, plus a neat new job and most importantly, a man I DO NOT :exclaim: want to lose is what I think of when I wake up every morning and say - I feel good and I am NOT going to screw this up! I still have bouts of anxiety that I am learing the triggers for as well as any loud noise makes me jump.....oh...and add the insomnia, but I am doing so much better off AF. It only made me numb to the hurt.

So thank you all so, so much. Again, you have made ALL the difference!!!!!

Looking forward to another AF day......life is just too short.....
Erin

Hi Firecrackers,

I'm on day 10 now and by Sunday I will beat my continuous run record of 11 done last November (correction to earlier post). I am still aiming for at least February to complete the 30 days.

But what should we do to celebrate when we all complete the 30?

You can all come around to mine for a drink if you want, I’ve got loads of booze left over from Christmas!

Any other suggestions?

E, are you going to buy me a plane ticket?

I won't be drinking any time soon. I would like to get to a point where I can, but that may never happen.
