Newbies in need ODAT - Monday

[rustop61]

Good morning everyone

Another Monday and the start of another week. Hope it will be a good one for everyone.

Mary, you asked yesterday where was Cindi. She went into rehab, probably when you were away. We asked her to check in when she got back and to let us know how she was.

Rushing this morning so its just a quick hello, catch you all later.

Good morning,

Hope all had a good weekend.

I am glad that it is Monday - fresh day, fresh start.

I fell yesterday. After 17 days AF I drank wine last night. Ugh! I am frustrated with myself. This was my longest stretch to date and I have to say it was not worth it!!
This time I am actually looking forward to being AF again.

Maybe this is a turning point . . . .

Rustop: I went to Cindi's ID & read her last few threads & found out. Good for her. Hi Evergreen. I've missed MWO & am glad to be back. It helps me deal w/the difficulties life presents. I've been involved in a family matter & really need the help I get here. Yesterday, was a difficult day, but I didn't drink. I thought about it a few times (not seriously), but enough to get me to my computer early this morning. Have a great day everyone. Mary

Morning all
Rustop...thank you for this thread, ODAT is such a good thread, hoping more newbies will join us.

Evergreen, just a blip...you have 17 days under your belt, and you just reinforce that fact that giving in is just so not worth it.....Glad you are looking forward to being AF again.

Hope everyone has a good day...the holiday's are just about to begin..Let's all watch out for those "stressors"

back

Back at day 1 af, did horribly yesterday, I want him out, he is tormenting me and has a different story every day.................divorce, not get a divorce!?!!?? I am over it, and cannot stand it anymore, I am actually going for the $5,000 lawyer, even now that I look at the house, it is such a dump, but I want to keep my horses, so what is the alternative??

I hope you all are ok today, may be leaving early today, not feeling too well physically or mentally right now:upset:

sorry to be such a damper to the thread, love you all:h

Hi everyone,
I haven't been around for some time due to family illness. I have missed not being able to visit mwo. I too have been there and done everything. Cowgirl there is always hope and
one day at a time that's all we have.
Love to all.

Big hugs to Cowgal (what a hell of a time you are having - it will get better - hang on to those horses - they will keep you grounded) And Suki too - big hugs. And Mary too with all your family problems and surviving an AF trip to Ireland - wow!

Thanks to all for keeping these ODAT posts going. Good to have a place to check into every day. Still on early days but it's getting easier.... I can still feel a yearning for a night downing a bottle (or two) but it's lessening.

Suki, Cowgirl, Mary, big hugs all around. Life can be so difficult at times and the alcohol gives a temporary relief but we all know overall it makes life much harder. It took years for us to reach the point we are at so its not going to become better overnight. The important thing is that each and everyone of us is trying to get there ODAT.

Evergreen, I know its disappointing after 17 days, the same happened to me in October. It has shown you that you can do it so keep on trying. Thats all any of us can do.

Take care everyone

Hello everyone, I started drinking Friday night and didn't stop until last night. Big time binging. I hate this. I don't know what to do. I went to work feeling horrible. My eight year old went to the nurse with a fever, so I had to pick him up. Saved from a day of hell. But now I sit here feeling sooo bad. I can't stand this. Theres beer in the fridge and I know two would make feel better, but why. It's a vicous cycle. I really want change, but I don't see it. I want to be AF for as as long as I can. I haven't made it past a couple of days every time I try. Why does it have to be so hard? I feel like everything is crashing down on me. I just want to be a good mom and wife. I don't want my kids to look back on their childhood and remember me this way. I just don't know what to do.

My heart goes out to you, I am in the same boat and don't think I will EVER be able to stop now...............had a few AF days, here and there, but always go back to the drinking, what is it w/ us??? I may want to check into somewhere, but cannot afford that along w/ all this $$ going out for the divorce..............

You will be in my thoughts, keep me in yours too!?:h :h

Love you!!!!:l :h
