FIREWORKS - ANYONE WANT TO JOIN ME FOR 30 DAYS AF

Hi Firecrackers,

Sweetpea, I agree with everything that Finski says, we are all here for you when You need us too!:groupluv:

You are only human and you are always expending lots of energy ensuring that the firecracker's are all happy. Save some of that energy for yourself,after all you are on the same seesaw as the rest of us :teeter:
As a Firecracker yourself you need as much, if not more support, being cheerleader must be exhausting. Take a rest my friend, that bath and book you ordered for me, I can't use it at the moment ,so take it and enjoy.
We all will miss you. Take care.

Fby. I thought this high speed train was too fast for me,I just stepped out for a coffee at the first station and when I turned around it had gone! Last night I succumbed and had a bottle of wine :bang
So this morning I have :ranger deleted my 0 on drinktracker and sit here wondering what happened. Booked a private plane to get me to the next station to get on board. Hold the door for me please.

Indiamike. Great to hear from you 31 days already. Well done.

Suki. Hope you are Ok.

Teardrop. Hope everything went smoothly for you. Thinking of you.

Rustop, Out with the dogs I guess, Have a rest from your cab duties this weekend.

Take care have a great weekend.

Eastx

So

Hi East, Finski & everyone,

Just a thought--- if Sweetpea meant that she lost her "post" maybe she was just in a hurry and didn't have time to explain. Or does "plot" mean something in UK that I'm not familiar with. I hope there is no crisis but whatever it is, we will send her our :h :h to keep her company.

You know we have come such a long way that it is comforting to know that everything is going to be okay. All of us go through our respective head bangers only to emerge a little stronger. Ant East-- don't worry about the train going too fast. I will fly you from station to station whenever you need a lift and (since ants can carry multiple times their own weight) I know you will be there to carry us along when we need a lift. The important thing is that we keep making the journey. The willingness to keep going will eventually translate into meeting our goals. I guess at times it will be more like poking through a little at a time uch: but that's okay because we have the tools to heal ourselves.

And we have a great batch of crackers to keep us inspired/motivated/psyched, and otherwise feeling good about the future. Can life get any better???? Well..... maybe :-)

Have a great weekend everyone. I have too much to do -- but will do my best not to let AL help out. Some help he is anyway. :H

OOhh Fby what a lovely post. :h
Thank you it is just what I needed today, feeling a little fed up!
In the UK "losing the plot" means something like getting lost, losing your marbles,not quite with it, which prompted my post asking if Sweetpea was OK.

If ants can pick up many times their weight, I think I could pick up the whole train at the moment! Dam weight just does not want to come off! :durn:

Sorry,:upset: I promise I will try to be a little brighter in my next post.

Have agreat weekend

Good morning ant East and any firecrackers out there today.....

I slept in this morning and it was DELICIOUS. Now just enjoying a little peace and quiet before the day kicks into high gear. We have company in addition to a full load of projects that demand attention.

But as far as I can see down the track -- all is clear--. I think the engineer went on break but the controls are on auto pilot so we will just keep on cruisin' for the time being.

East-- hope you are feeling a little better today, although your smiley icon looks a little down and out. Maybe if you made it laugh it will give you a hug. :H

We could all use a little hug today. Here's one for you :huggy

Hi Fby and any other FC's,
Great to hear from you :cheering have changed my mood smiley Fby but my nearest (honest) feeling is tired!

Daughter came home at 3.40am this morning, I text her twice and called but she refused to answer or let me know where she was,so not much sleep.
Can barely raise a smile myself let alone make anyone else!

Builders due to return tomorrow, so your hug was soooooo welcome.

Here is one from me to anyone who needs it today :armsaround:

Sweetpea. I am saving one for your return!

Suki. We "spoke" earlier on ODAT hope you have a great AF day! That Lasagna is still tempting my taste buds yum!

East,
Hang in there....kids have a way of taking a lot out of you.........my son is really pushing his boundaries, luckily I'm still the alpha dog, although for how much longer I don't know. I'll be thinking of you.
So I leave today to visit mom.........won't be posting for 10 days unless I come across a computer somewhere. Mom doesn't have one.
So I will miss all my fellow firecrackers.........but I plan to put this time into good use and plan the rest of my life..........well, maybe the next few months anyway. Lots has happened with my head since joining MWO and becoming semi-sober......my consumption has dropped so much that life really does look different. Who would have thought.......I was just looking forward to a hangover-less life....look what I got in return! FRIENDS!

Thank you my lovely Firecrackers

Your posts and pms have meant so much to me - can't thank you enough because they make me feel valued and worthwhile :h xx

This process is like a :teeter: which reminds me of the this children's song

The grand old Duke of York
He had ten thousand men
He marched them up to the top of the hill
Them marched them down again
When they were up they were up
When they were down they were down
But when they were only half way up they were neither up nor down

I think all of us are somewhere in the process

BUT

I do know I am getting better and can see things far more clearly and have the desire to get to the top of the hill and stay there. So My faithful band of warriors :yougo: lets get marching to the top of that hill


:hug: Sweetpea xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi Firecrackers

Have been missing in action the last few days as the family take over at week-ends. Great to see you back Sweetpea, hope everything is ok. Hang in there East both with the daughter and the builders.

Had a lovely meal on Saturday night accompanied with a nice red. Really enjoyed it but the down side was going back to having wine with dinner at home yesterday and a few glasses last night with hubby. It's so easy to go back to old ways and when you dont overdo it, think, hey I'm ok and keep going until the next time you really overdo it. I'm back AF today and starting the 40 days of lent on Wednesday.

Must take my supplements again and take out the cd's. I get lax after a while and I think they all really help. Had a two hour walk yesterday with hubby and the dogs and did an hour this morning with a friend so I'm ok on the exercise front. Have a great Monday everyone.

Hi all,
Good to have you back in crackerland Sweetpea! :yay:
Just think... you are heading up the hill instead of down. That's a BIG difference.

I had a good weekend even though it was more work than fun. I'm actually glad it's Monday so I can go to work to get a break. I should change my mood smiley to match East's --but that would make us TWO tired :H

Rustop- you are so right about how easy it is to slip back into the old pattern. If I have a glass of wine with dinner it will turn into a main course of wine with a glass of dinner. What happened to the off switch??? Oh right, don't have one. Now if I could just get rid of the on switch. Anyway-- great that you are setting AF goals for Lent -- I'm sure you will succeed. Supps make all the difference in the world. Especially those mighty little amino acids that keep our cravings away.

Must get to work now... :sigh:
Hope all the firecrackers and friends have a good day today.
Safe travels to you FinallyRN.

Hi Sweet One-
Sorry you are feeling down. Sometimes we just have to work through things so be patient with yourself. Wish I could be of more help but I can barely take care of myself when I get turned around. I have never used the MWO chat function but wouldn't mind trying if you want to go there. I'll stand by for a few.

Hi Sweetpea,
Looks like you have logged off for now. I have to get back to sleep or I'll be a wreck tomorrow. Please keep the faith that everything is going to be okay.
Talk to you later,
