AF to the end of the month show ....!

still AF even though I'm on vacation this week. Am afraid Bessie will turn that gorgeous horse around and will ride up Main Street, like Paul Revere and try to tramble me if I open a bottle of wine.

Have been diligent about the supps, eating healthy (love that quinoa!) listening to the sleep learning cd with the stream sounds. Can swear I hear Do not drink!! Stepped on the ocean one, and need to replace that one. But going to Cape Cod today and will sit on the beach and try to hear do not drink when I listen to the waves!

Hi everyone

Day 24 for me. Hubby was away last night and I too had drinking thoughts. Like Bessie I chose book over bottle and went to bed early. Glad I did this morning. I agree Poohbear, it is crazy, we want to drink, yet dont want to drink. Our thinking mind doesnt its that old beast whispering in our ear. Its such a battle but we will win. Bessie, I find using the supplements really helps but I get lazy at times and forget to take them!!

Good Morning All you AFer's til the end of the month. (that doesn't sound so nice, does it ? )

Bessie, you asked what we are doing to be AF. Well for me, I have always excercised, taken mega vitamins, b-complex on and off, but the thing that helps me the most is the "Mind Game" and this site. Could not do this without all of you, and I thank you all. Have a great day today !

Hi guys, day 4 for me - made it through day 3 fairly easily - hope I can get through day 5 and 7 as easily as I know they are also tough ones - and of course they fall on a weekend as well!

Had a rough morning, my daughter is stressing me out so I know that today will be more difficult - I am planning to go to my BF's for dinner tonight, good thing is I have some AF beer there so even if I feel like a drink, I have a different option.

Good job everyone on keeping your goals to remain AF till the end of this month.

We can do this!!!

Good midday all, Day four here and feeling pretty good. Still having trouble sleeping, I take melatonin and trytophan, last night I took 2 Advil PMs and still did'nt seem to help. I remember this does seem to pass after awhile but seems longer this time. Terrible to say but was tempted to wash all that down with Al but am determined not to. Especially have to think after what happened to Heath Ledger trying to get some sleep. Thanks to all of you for this thread, it keeps me strong.

Keep hanging on in there Cindi! We need you on our run for the end of the month.

Hope you get through the evening ok Universal.

Hope you're not missing your sleep Kat 20 - sure it will get better.

And yes, Suki, I'll be after you on the horse with a big cracking hunting whip if you go anywhere NEAR that bottle! So watch out! :H

I'm trying to keep going with the supps but forget regularly! Missing my All In One - I swear that makes a difference to how I feel. Waiting for the next order.

Good luck and love to everyone.

Sorry to jump in but had a question on the All one. I haven't taken that yet and was wondering about it. You must really think it helps? What do you mix yours with?

I take most of the others, but like you, when I remember.

Have a great day everyone, your all doing great!

F-me

Thanks for reminding me FM! Will go and take my evening supps now!

I do think the All in One helps. I really do think I feel healthier and a bit more 'balanced' when I take it. There is a really good smoothie company here in the UK and they have a really thick good blue berry, acai and pomegranate one. I fill the mixing cup up a third with that, then the same of water and then the powder. Shake and drink pronto. left it once to drink in the car and it went green.

Just got back from Cape Cod. Did not have time to sit on the beach and listen to the waves telling me to stay away from AL. Went to the lawyers. Yikes, have to go to court on Tuesday against the sleazy real estate agents (friends of the family) who want to double their commission.

Bessie, i wish you were riding up Main Street, I could jump up behind you and ride out of town!

They are not worth my abandoning this ride to the end of the month. I will just keep remembering some of Wonder's description of AL when I think of them.....pimply, smelly, slimy motherf@#$er. Works for me. Thanks Wonder!

Oh, guess what! My sister offered to drive down to go to court to support me! Was she kicked in the head by a horse, by someone on Bessie and Universal's wonderful ride?

Uni, enjoy tonight!

Suki - maybe she finally realizes that you are a great person!

Or.............maybe she was hit in the head.............either way, you do what YOU need to do!

Stay strong!

Well guys, it's 11:45pm here, almost time for me to start the ODAT thread - tee hee - sorry Bessie!!!

Hope everyone's doing well on the Bessie and Universal wild ride!!!

Had a hard night - seriously when I look in my BF's eyes I can see that he has fallen out of love - it's hard, I think we are really just prolonging the inevitable......but just not ready to face that fact yet.....

Came home and DAMN did I want a glass of wine - chanted F@@K you AL all the way home - I had a bottle of AF wine so opened that instead of the good wine I have stashed away in my house. So, I needed a little help but I still made it through AF day 4 - tomorrow is day 5 - and I still have a half bottle of AF wine downstairs if I need it. I know they say that you really shouldn't drink it in the beginning because it is just prolonging the behaviour but you know what? I have 16 bottles of real wine (nice vintage, hard to find in Canada) sitting downstairs and I didn't open a single one of them so as far as I'm concerned at this point - whatever gets ya through. I'm an emotional drinker and tonight is one of those nights that I would have normally came home and emptied a bottle - and I didn't!!!! So I'm pretty happy with that - no matter how I had to do it - I'm still AF..........

Love and Hugs, hope everyone else made it through the night okay.

Hee Haw - it's almost the end of the week! This road show is getting stronger by the day! Hang on tight everyone - once we make it through the weekend - we can ride into Feb. together! This weekend is going to be esp. stressful for me. Family Gathering. I have no idea what I'll do to occupy my brain while the stress mounts in everyone around me. Normally would down a couple of drinks after a cup of coffee. I can't believe I'm 24 days AF - seriously ... I Can't BELIEVE it. I'm to afraid it will go away! Reading this thread daily makes me feel like I'm part of a team. Or more - like I need you guys to drag me along! Bessie - to remember your supplements set them out the night before by your coffee, or whatever your routine is in the morning. I moved mine around the kitchen a little the first week - because I would space out and get used to seeing them - and look right through them. Hang on tight over the weekend everyone - It's time to round the bend. The view is going to be great on Sunday night. Reach out and open the door that no one thought could be opened. Life is behind it!
