Newbies in need ODAT - Thursday

Morning all.

Last post for a while as I am off away for a few days and can't see that I'll be getting anywhere near a PC. (will be getting near a beach though!!)

I'm not doing very well at all at the moment with AF or moderating but instead of feeling despairing like I used to, I just know I can get back on track with the help of here and the supps. I really do need to focus on it though, and at this time of year it is difficult. I know my enemy now so much better than I did before and I know what my trigger points are, my weaknesses and the best plans for me. That's a huge help in itself.

I hope everyone is doing well, feeling well and has a very happy Christmas.

See you after.

Bessie xx

Good morning all! More snow to come today.

Bessie, have a great time on your holiday. To walk on a beach barefoot, how wonderful!

This is a tough time for a lot of people. All the court papers arrived yesterday, shouldn't have read them last night.

So are so right about knowing your enemy better by being here. So do I. That will make it easier for us now.

Happy holidays to all. Looking forward to 2008 and success with our goals.

Hi Bessie and all to come

Enjoy your time away Bessie. Your MWO friends will be here waiting for you when you get back. I too will find it difficult to get to a pc over the next few weeks but will pop in to say a quick hello whenever I get the chance. As you say Bessie having that support there when we need it helps us get back on track.

Have a great Christmas and wishing you and everyone else all the best in 2008.

Hi Everyone: It seems there's a lot of optimism on this thread. Is that Christmas spirit I detect? Mary

I see a lot of optimism on the thread too - even though we are struggling with AF or mods through the holidays I love that we are not beating ourselves up over it. It looks like we are all finding our triggers and our stress points and the support we are showing each other is really helping all of us to keep our hopes up and to stay positive!

Know what I have to say? KUDOS to us!!!

Merry Christmas to all!

Love you guys,
Me

I LOVE this am thread. I look forward to it every morning to see how everyone is doing. I love that we are forming a friendship/ relationship that is so special. We understand each other, support each other, no judgement just well wishes. I can't tell you how that helps me every day.
Last night I went out with my closest friend, had wine but only a glass. I have to be careful though, I seem to get cocky after a "controlled" night and think I can handle anything and fall. Al's a sneaky little devil.
I've been so busy I haven't been able to post. I'm off to work............X-mas cheer to all.

Hello everyone,

I stepped away from ODAT for a little bit, since I was having wine every night since Friday ...Not sure what got into me....guess it was AL...he got the best of me. Don't like to drink and post. I really feel that posting does help in our effort to go AF, so tonight I choose not to drink. And tonight I'll be back on to read, read, and read some more.

Bessie, I think you should get your self a "traveling laptop" so we don't miss your posts...that sure would be a nice Christmas present to yourself :H

The sun is finally out in New Jersey..... melt that ice :rays:

Hope everyone has a good day today !

Good Morning Everyone,
It is good to hear that everyone is very optimistic and positive. Today is day 10AF for me and I couldn't have done this without all of you. By the way I think I may have picked up a new addiction.........reading these posts. Thank you to each and everyone of you who have already changed my life for the better.

Nice to hear everyone sounding so upbeat. This time of the year especially can bring on added stressors to our already busy lives. By sticking together and supporting each other we can all look forward to a happy healthy 2008.

Xmas Heat

LR here,

Was AF 4 over 3 weeks then lost it. Very alone and sad. Xmas here, day one again. The heat here is impossible to deal with.
Trying hard. 2Morrow is another day.
