Newbies in need ODAT - Friday

[Bessie]

Jump on board for the One Day At A Time Friday thread. Get yourself set for the day if this is the end of your working week. Another thread on here has highlighted the 'dangers' of that Friday feeling. That reward for reaching the end of the working week. Luckily it doesn't happen to me - every day is a working day!! The joys of being self employed!

Love and luck to all to come

Hi Bessie,
I'm also self employed. Not always such a good thing. It takes a lot of self dissipline.
Have a lovely weekend

Good morning Bessie, Jessie, DAMO, Maasai and all to follow. Starting Day 11. Don't know if I'd have the discipline to be self-employed (didn't think that I would have the discipline to get this far) but am looking forward to the weekend.

Cheers all!

Hi Bessie and everyone, I don't intend to drink today, as I haven't for the past 3 weeks, but I'm not counting.
My brother David has been diagnosed with lung cancer. I do not intend to use it as an excuse to drink, I would ask for your prayers, not for recovery, but for peace for him.
Great job on day 11 Suki, it's so good to see you getting well. Hope everyone has a good weekend.
Love Paula. x

Hey Suki - why 'cynical'?? With those 11 days under your belt you need to be 'Joyful' or 'Happy' ..........or maybe just 'goofy'!! :H Well done you!

Paula - wishing your brother peace and you continued strength to deal with this.

Morning everyone.....Wow, all these posts and it is so early here on the East Coast....I am so glad to see this thread growing each day.
Everyone seems to be finding their own path to a sober life. Some are working on an AF lifestyle, others mods. For me moderation is not an option and thinking long term is to overwhelming for me. I continue taking it ODAT, making no promises for tomorrow.... I have this picture in my head of taking that first sip.......I would not be pouring myself a drink in a fancy glass with ice and nursing and savouring that drink. My vision is standing there with bottle in hand, in the middle of my kitchen, just guzzling for that initial buzz, not the taste....sad?, scarry?......I think I will be carrying around this picture for life...so for today I will choose not to drink..

Charlee: I loved your post. I too would be doing the same thing. It's not about the taste...it's about checking out, blurring the edges, etc. I drank my booze out of coffee cups, so that no one would notice. Not anymore. I'm sober & liking it most of the time. Yes, I get the odd craving now & then. But so far, in Feb. I'm sober. Mary
