    ODAT Saturday

    Hi all

    Up stupidly early this morning (not specially to start this thread, honest! .... bit of a thick head as opened a bottle of wine for cooking last night and there just isn't enough will power in me to not finish it. Not a big session but drinking when I was tired, frazzled and dehydrated is being paid for in bunged up sinuses, stomach and head ache. And an inability to sleep past 4.30am!! Still, I'll get lots more done now that I'm up.....!

    Have a great Saturday everyone. Today I will not be drinking. ODAT.

    Ohhhhhh Bessie, I'm with you girl!!! Feel pretty rough myself! Have drank the last 2 nights and this morning I can tell!! Why do we do it?? I sleep so much better when I haven't had a drink and last night here I was back to waking at 3am feeling all panicky, hot sweats and full of anxiety about my drinking. Well thats it until Wed night now otherwise I could easily drink every night (& day) just because its half-term (actually I don't need an excuse!) but anyway enoughs enough!! Today I will not drink. Someone mentioned Simply HIB (Emily??) on a thread the other day, as a red wine replacement, well thats coming out tonight!!

    Another cold and frosty start to the day here in England but its beautiful - have a great Saturday everyone, I'll DEFINITELY be back on later!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

          Hey everyone on this saturday evening here.

          Still AF, my third sunday about to roll over. Boy I've been tempted though this past week! The last few days - including the last few hours, really been having the head conversations about it "what's the point of not drinking if I'm not losing weight" "I wont drink like before, I'll moderate" "I'll drink vodka instead of red wine" "I'll only drink at night" and so on.

          My old drinking buddy thinks its a really bad idea if I chose any of the above, and that's saying something cos she is a big big drinker herself and usually doesnt argue it because she feels too hypocritical. That tells me I need to really take this seriously.

          Hope everyone is safe and healthy, AF or Moderating, or at least being kind to themselves.

              Well done, Hovercat!
              Straightlines - I'm sure many of us have had the same self-deluding conversations with ourselves. I know I have!! You're right -- it is serious and I admire your stick-to-itiveness.
              Teardrop, Bessie - I now avoid any recipes that call for wine...but now you're making me think that perhaps I can substitute AF wine in recipes. Has anyone tried that?
              Looking forward to getting day 15 AF under my belt, and wishing all of you a great day/night. :h

                Good Morning ODATers,

                Have been AF for a little "while" haven't been keeping up with the days because then I start thinking about it too much.

                It does feel good to sleep and not pass out. It feels good to wake up and not come to.

                I started topamax again. Last time I tried it I had some skin issues and I am hoping that they don't happen again. I really want the topamax to help with the cravings. I really, really do. sigh.

                I would like to stay AF forever. I will use whatever it takes.

                Wish me luck.

                Today I will be sober.

                Love to all my ODAT friends. You all help me so much.

                  My dad came over yesterday. He missed me while I was gone. He invited me to my favorite mexican restaurant for lunch.................I folded.........best margaritas in town. One turned into 2, turned into 3.........it left me having a nap on the sofa until my husband came home at 5:30 pm...........of course I told him I was jet lagged. Don't feel too good about that. We managed to hang out until 9pm when I had to go to sleep and here I am at 3:30 am awake, unpacking and on this thread. I'm not hung over but a little disappointed in myself. Its funny, I get madder when I give my power away so easily without a fight. I didn't give my choice a second thought........just ordered. I do that a lot. Need to think about that one. Its like being on a diet and they show you a chocolate sundae and without missing a beat, I grab the spoon! You know?
                  Well, today I will not drink. i actually have to go to work today at 7 am. Too soon to get back in the rat race. I need to come up with a plan for the rest of this month, beginning of next. I do better that way, with rules. I guess I'm just a kid at heart.
                  I hope this isn't sounding too "down. Its not meant to be. When I look at how far I've come and the way my life is changing, I feel blessed.
                  This is only a hiccough..............I'm so much better than before

                      Great news rudemama. I aspire to dress correctly and not drink. I must go to work unattended though. Danger Will Robinson!

                          Today I am day 2 again AF. Have a lot of ebay stuff to get done so that will keep my attention away from wanting a drink, hours worth of work I see ahead for today. Last night I took my other addiction SHOES and put my thoughts in to that and shopped instead of drinking. I HATE the mall but hey I got a sweet deal 3 pair of shoes for out of pocket 10!!!! Well ((HUGS)) to everyone hope you all have a sweey weekend!!! ODAT
