Newbies in need ODAT - Friday

[Bessie]

Hi all

Just a quicky as a busy day here in the flatlands. Mild and mizzley (another UK word for the USA lot!) Eventually decided to drink moderately last night and did it. And enjoyed it - the moderation more than the alcohol!! There is hope!

Today and tomorrow are planned for AF - and I no longer see that as a threat/problem - I see it as something to enjoy. My attitude to alcohol has really changed over month I have been on here.

Love and very best wishes for the day to all to come.

Bessie, thanks for starting today's thread. I'm still trying to digest your 2-day pork feast.

Had a bad night Wednesday, tonight was mod and I was in control. Agree with everything you just said, but am planning to go back to af for December.

Mizzley...love the word. Trying to see how I can use it to describe the people I work with. Maybe you have another word better suited to describing toxic co-workers.

Hope all of you will have a great day.

Damn..You guys are quick! Just barely Friday but I'm glad you are here. I screwed up. I screwed up the last few days. Hell, the whole week.
I know you have not seen me post in a week or so. But, I have been watching you all beat your demons.
Good for you! I draw so much inspiration from you.

Bessie, Suki, Sweetpea, Shelby,

Good morning/afternoon on Friday, this last day of November!!

Glad things are going well for most of you. So many are meeting their goals. Yea!!!

Shelby - Tomorrow starts a new month, always a great day to start a new run for a new goal (af or mod).

For today, I will not drink.

I will worry about tomorrow, tomorrow.

Love,
Cindi

Good morning everyone

It was great to read yesterday's thread and to see everyone doing so well. Thats the great thing about MWO, the support is there regardless of whether you are up or down. I see we have another newbie, Elainey, :welcome:

On Day 31 and feeling good. A few of you are snapping on my heels, well done. Newer newbies stick with the boards it does help you to keep focussed especially if you slip. I didnt last year and just went back to drinking every day.

Have a great week-end everyone.

Good morning all, happy Friday, and although I slipped last night, I am looking forward to an AF day today. Seems my attitude is changing, weekend schmeekend. What difference does it make? None at all, why feel good at work and not want to feel good on my own time for me? Doesn't make any sense. Anyhoo... I will stick around whether I slip or not and be honest with you all.

I don't think it is mizzley here, is that a cross between drizzley and mild? I need educating on brit slang.

Greetings all and TGIF
I'm actually looking forward to the beginning of December. Will focus on the positive aspects of the holidays and not worry about all the things in the past that led me to drink my way through. I'll deal with triggers ODAT and do my best. Thanks to MWO, this has become a little easier over time. Hang in there newbies (present company included) it really works if you keep trying.
Have a great weekend everybody,
Fby

Hello all...

I started AF back in August...and, actually did well for quite a while. In fact, while I'm at home, I don't drink AT ALL which is a huge mile-stone for me. While not at home --while on the road-- I've been slipping further and further into my old, self-destructive routine which is unacceptable. In any case, wanted to air this as today is my b-day and never a better day/time to start anew.

Best of wishes -- hoping to join in on the discussion.
