Newbies in need ODAT - Tuesday

hey guys, I'm a little late checking in today as I have been promoted at work and am sooooo busy!!!! I'm currently working 2 territories right now so I'm just a little insane! But I'm glad to be busy.

On day 3 this string, day 22 since beginning of 2008. Feeling pretty good. Sleeping better, feeling better. I have a couple of days this month that I will be moderating but I hope to have 40-45 AF days since Jan 1 by the end of Feb. And from how I am doing I think that should be a pretty fair assumption.

Glad to hear so many people doing so well.

Talk to you all tomorrow!

Love and Hugs,
Uni

Hello everyone!
congrats to all who went AF yesturday - I did too. It was though though. I got angry over my husband's luck of respect. See I quit smoking 4, almost 5 months ago and he couldn't, so he still smokes. I had asked him numerous times if he takes my car please don't smoke in it as it stinks afterward and instead of helping me to quit the habbit, he is making it more difficult. Granted, it is getting easier day after day, but it's not the point. The point is that I had asked not to do something, he promises he wouldn't, and then in a short period of time he does it again. Agghhh....Long story short I got soo angry and yelled and shouted about his irresponsibility and his not able to keep his word and his not caring for me or respecting me enough to not smoke in my car when he borrows it. GGGRRRRR... Man, was I pissed!!! Normally this would be one of many tiny things that would drive me to drinking.... I'm proud I didn't grab a drink last night!...
Let's keep up the good work boys and girls. Much love to all:l

will be tough as hubby drinks like a fish, makes it really hard for me, won't help by stopping (at least he hasn't up until now:upset: )

Actually the thought of drinking makes me sick right now, so that is good, want to keep that feeling the rest of the day

Great job, everyone!!

Shelby: Now we can complain about physical ailments like the rest of the world does. The first time I was able to complain about a (sober) headache, I didn't have to worry about people thinking I was hungover. That felt like a real gift. Mary

Hi everyone, hope you are going good - I am

It is wednesday morning here, and completely forgot about yesterday until my daughter came home from school saying they made pancakes at lunch...probably a really good thing I did forget~! Trying ever so hard to lose this weight that Al did to me, bit by bit it's coming off (3kgs since I gave up drinking and eating better).

Checking in late.....good to hear everyone sounding so enthusiastic about being Af for lent....not sure if my mind is in the right place at the minute but I am making myself post every day no matter what. Busy afternoon in the house cleaning etc, husband was working from home, but at least I was honest when at 5pm I told him I was taking a glass of white into the bath with me......he thinks I only had the one but I probably ended up having had 3 while I was doing the tea......not good eh, but I'm being honest with you guys....this is one place where I know I can be......I know I can do it when my head is right - I just can't stick to it - .....good luck to everyone....Janicexxx

Hey Janice,

It is nice to have a place to be honest. Believe me there are days when 3 glasses seems okay to me. Glad you are not beating yourself up. You will get in the mindset again.

Good to "see" you.

Hello all. Looking forward to doing the 40 days of lent AF. Was AF for Superbowl week. Am going to have a drink tonight, only one, for Fat Tuesday.

Went to my first AA meeting at lunch today, at the suggestion of my new therapist......worst experience of my life. Must be an acquired taste....like scotch. (joke). Told that to my boss, didn't laugh. Did not like the guilt. Realized (already knew) that positive reinforcement does a better job for me. Which is what I get here. Can't wait to talk with her thursday.
