Morning ODAT'ers

I still suck at this *using everyones name* thing.

I wish great things for us ALL.

Suki...11 days....SUPER job...keep it going.

Paula...prayers for peace...that whatever is in store for him, happens in the most gentle loving way the universe can make happen for him, and for you and your family.

time2change...8 days are fantastic...I am on day 2, and feeling a little nervous about the weekend myself. we CAN do this...let's both try our best to come here Monday and say...that was fucking hard but we DID IT!....

Mary...charlee....your sharing made me smile.....because for me, it was...in the end..(ok, the end has been like, the last 10 years...)...it has been all about *the buzz*...my hubby would constantly count my beers...Kee, you are now 2 to my 1....3 to my 1..you are going to be drunk by 7 and passed out again. Well no shit sherlock...do you think I don't *know* this?...do you think if I could control this once I am drinking I wouldn't be doing so....do you not think I hate myself when I do this to myself?????????????


eep...sorry....where did THAT come from! ahem!

wishing you all your goals today.

much love and hugs,
Kee

Hi everyone

Great to see so many doing well. Suki, 11 days is amazing. Paula you are in my thoughts and prayers. My girls are on mid-term break so I might be missing in action over the next week but will be thinking of you all. Have a great week-end.

Well, it is 11:30 a.m. here and I haven't had a drink yet. Just another 8 hours or so to go today. Whew, more than halfway there.

Glad to see all are doing well.

I better get my butt off this computer and do some house cleaning. My absolute favorite thing to do. NOT. but, it's getting really dirty.

I'll check back in later.

Love,
Cindi

Good day everyone. Haven't posted since Sunday.....Today is day 19 AF.. Yesterday was really hard. Home with sick child....getting medicine for her....Alcohol was everywhere. My Pharmacy is in a super market which here in Georgia sells Wine and Beer (My favorite). The market was out of the script so I went to anohter, again huge Budweiser display. Once again confronted by it. I did good It was hard. The third and and final store I went to had my girls script, we went home and ate ice cream and watched TV. She's feeling better and so am I. Thank you for letting me share this....I have no one to talke to about drinking....most friends and family either Drink like fish or don't drink at all. So I'm kinda on the fence with pouring my heart out to them. Thanks again and stay strong everyone.

Brooklyn: Those visual images are so strong. I turn my eyes away from displays, ads, etc. because they really can trigger me. Mary

Brooklyn, good job, on day 19, not buying beer and getting ice cream!

Paula, will be thinking of you and praying for your brother.

Ok, Bessie, I'll change my mood! I was cynical after my last couple of therapist's appointments. Friday night. Worked an 11 hour day, tired, hadn't taken my supps for two days. What a difference!

TKeene, know what you mean about rewarding myself for being AF. Funny thing is that the last three mornings I felt like I had a hangover.

All I could think about was a nice glass/bottle of wine. Al was really screaming at me, in my face. I had to go to the market to get some cat food. Instead bought two bottles of AF wine. Going to pour a glass of the horrid stuff and toast to the MWO supps!

Rust, have fun with the girls next week, will mss you if youre not around.

To all else, great weekend to you all.

:h :h :h :h Suki

Cowgal, have fun in Miami.

Hi everyone, posting later than usual. Still fighting the flu, but made it into work today. Hubby is out of town all weekend, so I'm going to struggle with my goals of moderating since this would typically be a situation where I would "binge". So far, so good. I have plans to keep busy and away from the booze. Not feeling well actually makes it easier.

Suki and Brooklyn, great news on the AF days...Suki, your new mood looks good on you, following Bessie's advice is always a GOOD thing!

Paula, my only brother battled cancer, it is emotionally trying, I know exactly how you feel. I will not only pray for him, but for you and those who love him. Cancer touches so many.

Cowgal - safe trip and fun in the Sunshine state!!

Keeta and Time2C - go for the AF weekend - I admire your focus!

Will miss you rustop61 if you go MIA, but enjoy the time with your girls.

Cindi - I hope your house is clean, I hate that too but it feels good when done. My husband finally got me a cleaning service last year...he calls it "cheaper than marriage counseling" heh heh

Happy Friday everyone - check in tomorrow!
