FIREWORKS - ANYONE WANT TO JOIN ME FOR 30 DAYS AF

Hi ALL FIRECRACKERS

Sweetpea sorry your feeling sad at this moment.
Well i have a few good friends and they are from school and my old work friends where i use to work.
The answer to your questions:
A good friend is there when you need them through good and bad times.
The important about friendship is knowing you dont have to be there all the time and you can pick up from last time.
To become someone friend is to be yourself and like you for what you are.

I hope this help as well sweetpea.

cowgal...no more:upset: like you said better late than never.
Yesterday i fell of my bike:upset: trying to go up the kerb side ways before this car could past me, so now my neck hurts and my shoulder. Need to take a hot bath and go to BMX lessons on how to pull my handle bar up when going up a kerb.. As i said on another thread at least i did not fall of the wagon but it felt like it. lol. Going to flower market tomorrow busy day for me i will try and log in later if i can.

Take care everyone and keep safe.

Love

Teardrop.x

HI ALL FIRECRACKERS,

I thought today was flower market got that one wrong its 2morrow so i jump on here straight away. But still got to got to my brother house and help him out.

:welcome: mitz.... Have you got all your supp's.....L-Glutamine, milk Thistle,and Kddzu. which helps. Some people will get there 30days af straight away and some will take longer. I join here in october and did my 30days in may im now 40days. I read lots of posts which help me until it sunk in my head and i woke up one day and wanted this deep down inside me, it got to the stage where i was fed up with AL draining all my energy from me feeling tired all the time... read the book as well is good with lots of information as well.. We can help you, but we cant do it for you, so dont give up keep posting as well...,. you will get more firecrackers to come that will give you there advice and experience. You have come to the right place here.
Best of luck you can do this.x

Sweetpea.... Hope you feel better today i have a photo that will cheer you up.


Your twin sister. my dogs name is trixie.

Have a great day everyone .

Love

Hi Firecrackers,

Teardrop your Trixie is sooooooooo cute. Well done on your 40days awesome!

Mitz The first five days for me were always the worst,and the 5th day a constant battle to get through. Slipped many many times.
If you can keep busy, Stay close to MWO when you get the urge to drink or when you slip and read and read and keep posting, things will start to click.
I completed 30 days in November, attempted to moderate for some months without success. I decided to get some AF time and today I am 64 Days AF. I cannot believe it myself. As Teardrop said something deep inside changes, YOU WILL get there if you never give up on trying.

Have a great weekend everyone

Eastx

Hi there Firecrackers!
Just popping in on this dismal Sunday.

Sweetpea.Hope your feeling a bit better today.For what its worth i think a friend is someone who accepts you,without expecting anything from you.I am sure you are a great mate.Its just hard sometimes to value yourself.Could be something to do with our LITTLE problem? xx

East.WOW!!Just look at all those A/F Days(60+++) Fantastic job.It is great to see,and to know you are content.Long may it last.xx

Tear,Your doggie is gorgeous!I hope you got the day right for your flower show,and you had the best time.Be proud too for your 40 days.xx

Hi to colestone,Mitz, Madmom,and everyone else i may of missed.xx

I would like to share something with you guys that happened to me last night if i may,that has left me feeling quite sad today.But i don't really understand why.I met up with some friends yesterday in a local pub,i felt a little uncomfortable as you can imagine.Everyone ordered alcoholic drinks,and i just had a softy.Watching everyone take that first drink was hard.I could smell,and almost taste it.Yes the fantasy i call it.Anyway they soon moved on to a second third,fourth,i ordered a coffee, and had to sneak to the shop for a bar of chocolate.To fast forward its 8 in the evening and they all end up round mine,for a chinese.I am the only stone cold sober one amongst them.Trying to get them drinks and place the food orders.They were loud,incoherent.A few were staggering,and two of them fell asleep.Watching them eat was discusting.I felt really glad that i was not going to wake up this morning with their heads.However the strange thing was i also felt like i wanted to cry.I felt overwhelmed with the responsibility,of making sure they wouldn't spill anything,clearing up.Insisting that they would not drive home.I was exausted!!.The thing that made me the saddest was how worried the older children were..so scared and nervous.that their parents could not be reasoned with.It just made me realise what my two must have felt sometimes.You think you are OK,but this has certainly given me food for thought.I so wanted to have a glass of wine,but if there was ever an example of the first glass making you drunk that was it.I just feel that i want to cocoon myself away.I should feel happy that i am 25 days sober today,but to be honest i don't know how i feel.I seem to have reached an identy crisis.Just maybe i have realised that i have to move away from this "party".and find a different life?Thanks for listening,maybe it might make sense to some one else.

Take care.Back soon xx

I am ready to jump back on the train today. This is it!!!! I am done with this stupid binge. As they say, I'm sick and tired of feeling sick and tired.

Wakeupmom, what you said made perfect sense. When we quit the booze, in a way, we are different people. I think the hard part of it all is finding out who we are without AL.

:welcome: Mitz So very very sorry that I have not replied earlier but I have been out all weekend and have not managed to get onto the computer. All the Firecrackers are so very supportive and I know that I speak for each and every one of them in as much as I can say if you have a bad hour, day, week or month is to get straight back onto the Sweetpea express and take it very slowly. Focus on not having that drink for the next hour and those hours will grow into days. Read RJ's book, take the supplements, listen to the Cd's if you have them and above all post and read as much as you can. It has all worked for us in varying degrees on this site and in time a lot of us have Lent to moderate with great success. For others this is not an option - only time will tell which path you need to travel. In the meantime my love and support are with and all the other crackers

Lukalee come and sit by the window you know you are back straight to it and you can do it

East the greatest support ever :l

Rustop thanks so much xx


Wakupmom thanks for your kind words. Than you so much for sharing your story - Wow you were fantastic not giving in and having that drink - You should be very proud of yourself day 26 today well done

Colestone day 4 fantastic keep going

Kat20 thank you so much for being such a supportive cracker

Tear I agree your Trixie my twin is fantastic :l thanks that has really cheered me up xx 41 days what an achievement well done

Loads of love and strong vibes of support to you all

Hi ALL

Colestone...just like to say thank you for your kind words.
Wakeupmom...Thank you for sharing your story with us, you really did us proud well done for not drinking. its funny we do things and we think we are ok, but we never really see what we are really like. 26days AF well done. I think we get to a stage and realise it times to move on. It like rebuilding a new life being AF.
Sweetpea... glad your back and pc is well again miss your post.
East... You are doing GREAT!!!

Some days will be hard for me to get on the pc because of half term with the kids on the pc so i will try and come on here during the night time. I know i need to stay close to mwo now that i have 41days AF i feel im still fighting that urge.

Have a good day everyone.x

Love

Hi Firecrackers

I'm with you Lukalee, its been a very busy week-end with visitors but now getting back on track. Thanks for sharing with us Wakeupmom. Welcome back Sweetpea, we miss you and your encouraging words when you are away. Stay strong Teardrop, you have achieved so much. I'm in the same position with the kids being around a lot more as one of them is finishing up school and doing exams. It is important to stay close to MWO. Everyone else big hello and have a great week.

:groupluv::wavin: Morning All just wanted to give a hug and a cheery wave to you all

Trying very hard to lift my depressed soul at the moment and what better way than to see how all you Firecrackers are doing

East is it day 67 today? You are an inspiration to us all xx

Rustop thanks your support is always greatly appreciated - hope your week is not too manic xx

Teardrop 42 days AF fantastic you are doing so well. How is that lovely Trixie xx

Kat20 22 AF days we knew you could do it. I shall do my best to get some inner strength today

Wooflet how are you doing? We miss you xx

Lukalee are you still chugging along with me on that Sweetpea Express. We can do it because we have in the past so get in the right frame mind with me and lets go for it - WE CAN DO IT xx

Wakeupmom 27 days aren't you proud of yourself for not giving in because we certainly are. It is very hard not to have a drink when everyone around you is swigging it back like lemonade

Colestone how are you?

Mitz are you OK? Sorry again for not being around much this weekend BUT all the support the other crackers give on a daily basis is what makes this thread so supportive to everyone. My favorite saying is to have friends you need to be a friend which all the crackers constantly demonstrate. So take heart we are all here for you even if you are not coping with :alf: because bit by bit you will improve but it will always be a constant battle :l

FBY I am missing your words of wisdom xx

Has anyone heard from Suki?

To all the other Crackers I have not mentioned here is strong vibes of love and support winging there way to you

Hi Firecrackers

Just a quick check in. Routine has gone out the door. Second daughter in the middle of end of year exams so finishing and starting at all different times. Other daughter about to start state exams next week!! Combine all that with hormones and you can imagine what our house is like at the moment.

Horrible weather but did manage to get in a quick walk and came back dripping!! Have not heard anything from Suki, if you are reading Suki big hello and come back when you are ready.
