    FIREWORKS - ANYONE WANT TO JOIN ME FOR 30 DAYS AF

    Hi Firecrackers

    So glad to see you back Sweetpea and feeling a little better. Suki, you are doing really well, keep forgetting that cell, you will annoy the hell out of her hehehe!! Keep taking large steps back, the more you distance yourself from her the better you will feel. I remember when you first joined and you sound so so much more positive. All any of us can do is stick with these boards and keep trying to get those AF days under our belts. I'm on day 15 so half way through the month. Did not manage 30 in December so am determined to do it this month but it is hard.

    East, hope those builders/daughter are not driving you crazy. Teardrop, Flutterby, Lukalee, Cindi, Ezekiel and everyone else big hello.

      Rustop, thank you, thank you. My MWO family is so much more important than my own family. My dad, when he came down with guillian barre syndrome, and was paralyzed from the neck down, used to say, you can pick your friends, you can pick your nose, but you can't pick your family. How true, Paul!!!

      Need to get up and get to work. Another case of me wanting to stay in bed with my furry friends.

        Suki keep forgetting to ask how your 3 lovely cats are? Keeping you warm and making you feel how important you are to them I hope - because you know they love you xxx

            Hi Sweet One & all,
            Happy Tuesday!
            My Mood Smilie wanted me to share this with the FCs. Seems like a good day for that -So here goes.

            The Optimist Creed
            From The Optimist International


            Promise Yourself

            Promise yourself to be so strong that nothing can
            disturb your peace of mind.

            To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to
            every person you meet.

            To make all your friends feel like there is
            something in them.

            To look at the sunny side of everything and make your
            optimism come true.

            To think only of the best, to work only for the best,
            and expect only the best.

            To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others
            as you are about your own.

            To forget the mistakes of the past and press on the
            greater achievements of the future.

            To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give
            every living person you meet a smile.

            To give so much time to the improvement of yourself
            that you have no time to criticize others.

            To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, and too
            strong for fear, and to happy to permit the
            presence of trouble.

            Now-- I am not familiar with the optimist's international group except in passing but don't see any harm in being happy for real instead of being fake happy for Al. Therefore, I consider myself and all the FCs as aspiring optimists!!
            Here's smilin' atcha!! :wave:

                Flutterby - Thank you so much for posting the Optimist Creed. I have printed it out and it now resides right next to my computer here at work.

                Sweetpea - my best on your continuing upswing in getting over that bug and going AF when ready. We'll all be here for you, just as your have cheered us all on. And yes, getting through Wednesday night's event will be interesting. Last night's dinner was a party of 6 and only 1 (me) did not indulge. I enjoyed my sparkling water and lemon thoroughly and even when asked if I would like to "try" anothers drink, politely declined. Yeah for me! :thumbs:

                Note to self: I CAN do this!

                So to each of you celebrating AF, congrats!!!! And to those trying - we're here to cheer you on and let you know we can do it. ODAT

                Now, I must dash off and prepare for a 9AM meeting........Cheers!

                  7Days AF for me.

                  Hi to all you fire crackers,

                  flutterby, thanks for your post optimist creeed i'm going to print that of as well.
                  Sweetpea, so good to read your post and that you are feeling positive each day.
                  Ezekiel, well done on your AF days, There is not much choice in AF wine and it has a funny taste to it. It help me get through the weekend though. would be funny if i got addicted to AF wine. :H
                  Eastender, Hope everything is ok at your end.
                  Well done to lukalee, indiamike suki db2 and rustop for all your AFdays. if i miss anyone out so sorry.

                  I had to ring my sister the other day but she will never change, her plans for my brother has a little bit on her side has, so now she cannot have him the whole week like she said she would. She saying when my brother gets out. I will have to do this, and have to do this, and have drop everything that includes my kids as well. Well she will get a big surprise when the day comes. I will help out, but it does work both ways. Anyway really need to be ringing some people up for my brother, dont want his house to be taken away.

                  Take care everyone.
                  love

                    Improving Daily

                    :yougo: Can't confess to really being fit enough for the full cheerleading role but certainly getting there BUT in my mind I am as active as normal with loads of support and strong vibes reaching out towards you all LOL. My good wishes to you all at whatever stage you have reached to a happy Moderate or AF lifestyle. Each day we reach our respective goals is a day to be celebrated because we all know what a miserable dark place feels like to live in and we know we want more in our lives. SO onwards and Upwards my faithful band of crackers WE CAN DO IT WE CAN DO IT LOL

                    Suki so pleased you liked the vision of your sister with a broken nail I thought the idea may amuse you. So she had better behave because I can always think of some other calamity that would do her some good like her hairdresser really making a fine mess of her perfect perfect!! hair next time she visits :H It seems a good idea not to answer your cell phone - maybe you could say that in the workplace they now have to be on silent. That way you are in control of when you speak to her. When you are at home you can say you forgot to change the silent option off. She would soon get the message or have to pay on the land-line HA HA That would keep the calls short!!

                    Rustop great to hear you are at 15 days and half way through. I know you will do it because you are so determined well done

                    Morning Lukalee hope you are doing well and have a great day yourself. Let us know how you are getting on

                    Flutterby "Promise Yourself" what a wonderful, wonderful inspirational post. Thank You so much, we can always rely on you to lift our spirits with some thought provoking words LOL xx

                    Erin it was great to chat yesterday. Hope you made the 9.0 o'clock meeting on time. I do get somewhat confused as to what time of day and what day is what when talking to folks given the different time zones around the world - Not the brightest pea in the pod sometimes!! HA HA. Anyway if my brain is now in gear when you read this it will be Wednesday where you are, so just to let you know I will be thinking about your resolve to drink sparkling lemon and water tonight and sending you the strongest vibes to overcome any temptations - I know it is going to be very, very hard and I will be thinking of you

                    Teardrop yet another controlling sister in our midst - what is it with these people have they got such an inferiority complex that the only way to get over it is to demand other people do this, that or the other. Well done - hang on in there and don't get bullied into doing anything that you don't want to do. What your brother needs right now is a calm atmosphere to help him get over his issues and help him keep his house. Stick to your guns because your kids need you as well and the very last thing you need is your sister stirring things up LOL

                    Marli and FinallyRN hope you are both well today and sending you good wishes

                    Hope all you other crackers are well and making progress to your goals

                    Finally - EASTENDER - we all hope that everything is alright. Our very, very best wishes to you and hope to hear from you very soon LOL XX

                        Good morning Firecrackers

                        Hope everyone is doing good. Sweepea, you are amazing how you remember everyone. Looks like families are causing problems all around. My MIL is causing major problems. However, there are 7 in hubby's family. The ones living away are inclined to leave it to those of us around, some only visit their mother every 5/6 years!! This is fairly major so they have to get involved whether they like it or not. I am taking a large step back and letting them get on with it, hubby included!!

                        The sun is shining, have had a lovely walk with doggies and friend so feeling good.

                          My daughter split with her BF last night and I need to spend some time chatting to her, She has not gone to work today says she feels too ill.
                          I hope you guys are all doing OK and I will catch up with the news on you all later.
                          In the meantime take care everyone and I miss and am still thinking about you all!

                            Hi, all !

                            Busy day schduled today with a corporate event (with social hour and always great wine) tonight. And yes, Sweetpea, your thoughts are most appreciated and my resolve is strong - sparkling water with a touch of lemon will be my evening libation. I'm on Day 15 (1/2 of the way to my Day 30!) and feeling awesome so far. I feel so much "lighter" in my mood and outlook than I have in some time!

                            And to each of you, Eastender, Flutterby, Rustop, Teardrop, Luckalee and those I may have missed - Have a GREAT AF day! We can do this!!!!

                                Hi Firecrackers!!! Sweetpea, you certainly are our cheerleader. I am selfish, because I missed you when you were not feeling well. How horrible am I? You always remember to include everyone, and that is so nice. You are a dear, and I hope you are feeling much better.

                                I have to say thank-you to Suki too. It was one of her posts that lead me to this wonderful group. You guys are near and dear to my hear.
