FIREWORKS - ANYONE WANT TO JOIN ME FOR 30 DAYS AF

oops i missed a day,

but i didn't miss al. yeah. with the weather getting warmer, i was busy doing preventive maintenance on my business equipment. got 2 stay busy, it helps. read a good article in a mag. today about addictions. lots of new drugs being tested to alter brain triggers, and some even stop the highs, so i guess we eventually get bored with al. i dont know though if taking something else to combat a problem is good either. my juries still out on that one. they mentioned will power, some also. there is so many contradictions in the medical field. i'm staying here with you guys instead. and thats my final answer!!!! so lets keep beating the drums together.:band2: all right and strum the strings, if thats what it takes. C U SOON.

Hi Firecrackers,

Short post today going to the coast to visit sister so not much time.

Managed AF yesterday :yay: must just concentrate on TODAY only!

Dex thats what we have to think of it as- poison ,should be skull and crossbones on the labels just like other household substances!

Gary, You are doing great, keeping busy is the only thing that works for me usually too!

Teardrop,:racer: madness locked in with the kids yesterday! I think Sweetpea should be home now, but with the severe weather, travel is in chaos. Hope you are OK Sweetpea!

Suki Rustop and Flutterby thinking of you.

Have a great day everyone,will try to check in later when home.

Hi everyone

Just a quick check in from the library. Computer still not back. Hubby did bring it into work to have repaired but he is travelling so goodness knows when I will get it back. Did my 30 days again and I dont know if its that I'm programmed to just doing the 30 days or not being able to log on but slipped again. Had wanted to do lent 40 + days. Am back on track again and aiming to do the rest of the month AF.

Good luck everyone.

sorry

Teardrop, sorry you slipped last night, it happens w/ this crap!! I hate AL!!! I almost drank, and didn't cuz I thought about how I would feel now, like SH*T!!!! How you feel right now, right??? Maybe, think about that next time AL is calling your name and saying how NICE that BUZZ would feel!

It helped me last night, but I wonder if I can handle it next time!!? Right now I am SOOO HAPPY I didn't give in, but scared, maybe this is dangerous ground for me right now?? I am going to an AA meeting tonight, so will probably get "filled up" w/ the spirituality there and that will help me get through the night!!

everyone yet to come, stay strong, have a wonderful day!!

love,:h:l

Hi all. Don't have much time to post, but I am off to court. My lawyer wrote a fabulous letter Friday, which the others got yesterday morning. Scared the pants off of them. Wanted to settle. We offered them what we originally offered them and they said...see you in court.

Not looking forward to today, but at least I facing it being AF for almost 2 days.

Teardrop and East, I really blew it earlier this month, but it seems o get easier.

Will post longer when I get home. Congratulations to all of you who are doing so well! Best of luck to those, like me, who have been having a hard time.

love, suki

Hi everyone, I'm checking in.
I've been really busy and have neglected my MWO friends. You guys have become my life line. Its hard to explain to others the connection I feel with you all. I'm glad you're here.
I have been doing very well staying away from AL. Even though I have a ways to go I'm proud of what I've achieved so far. I am able to moderate as long as I'm diligent but I still want to cut back so I'm trying to get 30 days under my belt. Its been hard. I'm not perfect. So far in March I've slipped one day. I'm learning a lot.
Take care everyone

good

RN, only 1 day slip?? That is good, so you feel you are better of AF?? I hope if I slip I can figure that out rather that slip back into the way I was, that was too scarey for me, hope I can maybe have just one or two, and if I find I cannot, get right back to AF..............

Whtwshman, you are so inspirational and positive, thanks for being here and giving us all hope!!

East, you're traveling?? have a great trip to the coast!

everyone stay cool, will be checking in at times today cuz I am BORED here at work again, tomorrow is busier, but today too quiet for my liking!

Sweetpea, wlecome home! You were missed, BUT East did an amazing job at filling in for you.

Been looking at the weather reports about the storms, wind off the coast of the UK and Scotland. Hope all of our friends there are staying safe.

Court went as expected. The letter my lawyer send was BRILLIANT. The poor other lawyer had no idea what he was getting into. I have to give a deposition up north, the third day I've lost from work, on 4/15/08. The court case starts 6/17/08.

We are going to countersue for consumer fraud and I'm filing a complaint with the Real Estate Licensing Board for unethical practices. PLEASE UNDERSTAND, I am so against the American penchant for suing anyone. I believe that in the UK if you sue and lose, you pay the court, lawyers charges, that's the way it should be.

Thank goodness that I am AF, fog-free and feeling like I can hold me own.

Thanks FCers for all of your support. Will pour an AF beer shortly (Beck'sAF, can't remember is it was RN or Rustop who mentioned it, but yum, better than the AF wine) while I fill out my complaint!

love all, suki

Great to have our :yougo: back posting!

Starting day 1 yet again. Didn't overdo it last night, but stopped on the way home from court and bought a bottle of wine. Had some with dinner. Have to start dealing with life differently. No whining or feeling sorry for myself. Either I accept it and let it go or deal with it. No more hiding behind a glass of wine or vodka.

East, I hope you are not on the coast with all the wind and storms!
