Newbies in need ODAT - Monday

Good morning all! Bessie thanks for starting the thread. Suz, I like to dring fruit juice diluted with club soda. Cuts the sweetness. Cindi, we all need to be reminded of how our drinking doesn't effect just us but everyone we love.

Happy Monday to all. WE CAN DO IT TOGETHER!

GOOD MORNING

HELLO EVERYONE,
DREARY DAY IN GA TODAY. DAMP BUT THE TEMP IS NICE. I MADE IT 7 DAYS. I WAS DETERMINED THAT I WOULD NOT DRINK BEFORE GOING INTO THE WEEKEND. I MISSED THE NUMBNESS THE ALCOHOL GIVES ME AT TIMES. BUT KEPT THINKIG OF DIFFERENT THINGS I READ ON MWO . THAT HELPED ME KEEP MY DETERMINATION STRONG. I MAY HAVE CAVED HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR THIS SITE & YOU WONDERFUL PEOPLE . IT HAS HELPED ME BE HONEST WITH MYSELF. SO MANY THINGS I READ HIT CLOSE TO HOME, ESP THE EFFECTS OUR HABITS HAVE ON OUR CHILDREN. THANKS FOR SHARING SO MUCH WITH US CINDI, YOU ARE A LOVELY PERSON. RETTEACHER, YOUR COMMENTS STICK WITH ME AS WELL,"ONE OF MY TOOLS FOR STAYING SOBER IS TO REMEMBER THE BAD TIMES ALCOHOL BROUGHT". I KNOW I ONLY HAVE 7 DAYS BEHIND ME, BUT I KNOW I HAVE TO BUILD BETTER RELATIONSHIPS WITH MY DAUGHTERS AND I CAN'T DO THAT WHEN I AM CHECKED OUT ON ALCOHOL WHEN THEY GET HOME. THANKS TO ALL OF YOU BESSIE, SWEETPEA, RUSTOP, SUZANNA,CINDI, SUKI, DOGGYGIRL, RETTEACHER, CKE123, MISS OCTOBER, CHARLEE.......THANKS SO MUCH!:l TO ALL

dreary too

It is dreary here in Tally too, supposed to sunny up later though, can't wait.............Bessie, get right back up on the horse (as you may have done plenty of times, I know I have at least once or twice!) I know you can beat this, me too.................Cindi, what a moving story, yeah, it hits us women sooooooooooooo much worse than men, so we really need to watch it...........

I am trying soooooooooo hard to stay AF, made a pact w/ someone to do Mont-Thurs at least, I know I can do that!!! ODAT!!! just for today I am not going to drink, there is soooo much emotional SH*T in my mind I cannot deal with, but am trying soooooo hard to deal with it..................

Everyone, thanks:thanks:

I love you with all my heart for the support and help you have given me!!!:h :l

Good morning all. Day 2 for me. Went X-mas shopping yesterday to keep myself busy...Can you believe I didn't but anything! The malls were so crowded I think it put me off. Came home and relaxed with me son and husband, Magic!

Good morning all. Day 3 for me (hi cke!), and I'm feeling pretty good. I know that "one day at a time" is the theme around here, but I think I'm ready for a long run. It's time.

Up late late last night working on this grant application (I probably could have started the thread, and not been much ahead of you British types). But it's coming together nicely at the last minute. Which is to say, my procrastination skills are still finely honed.

peace,
lilnev

Hi everyone. It's been a long time since I pledged to go AF. But I am going to today at least. I'm also going with a gf after work to check out a health club. I fear she is way more fit than me but maybe that will inspire me too. Joe said this morning let's go AF so cross all ur fingers that will happen. It's really hard when ur hubby drinks too. But it's my deal not his, if I fail or not that's on ME.

Hope to be on AF 2 tomorrow. :thanks:

agree

My hubby (which is why we are having such problems, or I am staying AF............he drinks EVERY day, and other bad habits, am seeking counseling, but nobody is calling me back................?!?!?)

Anyway, good luck, every day AF is a day to feel stronger and in control.................


Love ya!!!:h
