MARCH MADNESS

thanks!!!!

Liv, that is a saying in AA that is sooooooooooooo true, I always get an urge to drink when I am hungry, angry, lonely or tired, it is amazing!! Thanks for this thread, it has been truly inspirational.....................:thanks:

Although I drank 3 beers last night at my Red Hills horse trials function................open bar, they had a beer w/ a horse on the bottle, so I wanted to try it, turned out to 3 in the end, so I am re-doing day 25 again, I am NOT starting over at day 1, as I am coming right back and learned alot over it................

Everyone else keep up the great work you all!!:goodjob:

Good morning all! Day 8 for me and so far, so good. I can't believe how well I'm sleeping. I haven't woken up feeling this good in a LONG time. 5-8 pm is very hard, but I get such a proud feeling when the clock slides past 8. I do know that if anything was in the house, I would drink it. I don't know how people go AF if there's another drinker around. I'm finally thankful hubby is such a square. :H

I'm having weird and very vivid drinking dreams. It's been a long time since I remembered dreams, too. Things are definitely changing in my body. I hope my liver's getting happier.

MARCH MADNESS

Hey all - Going to spend a quiet evening with my lover (hubbie NOT AL) :H but just wanted to tell you all that this weekend marks your halfway point of getting through March Madness!
What does that mean?? Think Spring!

Lefty - I am so happy for you. The day will soon come when you won't have to watch the clock. I can remember when I would watch the clock from 5 Pm to 10 PM and couldn't wait until it was bedtime. (I made 10PM my new bedtime during the early days). Those days will quickly pass. I promise.

Cowgal - don't beat yourself up - I know somewhere you have talked about moderating - so just count today as your 25 and keep AFing if that is your goal today. 3 is a reasonable number. It is not excessive and you stopped. Good gal. That is the lesson here - right?

Dexie - you come here - and stay here anytime. Kitty stays here all the time - didn't you notice? Dancing through the madness thread!!

Friday night Motivation that my daughter sent me today:

A wise man learns by the mistakes of others, A fool by his own .........

Hi Liv. thanks again for this thread. I am afraid of being beaten up on the other threads. This has become a scary place.

I'm really shocked. I guess that I don't post enough. I have never encountered the anger and bad vibes that I have had tonight.

I read and post because I feel so safe here. I have come to examine who I am, what triggers me, how I can be the person I want to be. After reading several posts tonight, I was so discouraged. I suddenly realized that I didn't see many posts from my favorite people. Where are you? Maybe I am being a fool to think that this community can help me.

Granted, I have had two glasses of wine. But I want to know where are the people who have given me so much support and love since i joined in November.

Life is too short.

My wonderful Swedish grandmother always said, never regret what you have done, always regret what you have never done. If I had never discovered MWO, where would I be?

This forum is wonderful. I have met so may fabulous people. I want you all in my life. BUT I want to help you and I want you to help me.

Sticky Note for Today


Life is Short
*

Life is short. We tend to think of life in terms of years but if you think of it in terms of months it can make it appear even shorter. For example ... I am 46. If I live until I'm 75 that means I have 348 months left to live. Now I have drank and smoked most of my life .... so lets just say I only live to 68. I only have 264 months left to live. You get my point. Now life is short, totally short. A month goes by quickly. I know I don't want to spend my months living in the depressing ways of AL. I want to experience excitement, happiness, love and joy everyday! This is Madness March Ya'll - Don't lose the chance to
lose the Madness in your life!

* I would like to give Suki Credit for the inspiration for today's sticky note. I didn't get the note posted last night - and I was late getting it out this morning. I hadn't decided what to post - em. When I read her post - I knew. I love you Suki and I hope you know how much you lifted me today. I hope you are lifted up too. :h

Life is too short.. Thank you, Liv. The month thing hit home. I think of those months with my daughter and that is not that many. It makes me sad in a way, but even more determined to make each and every one count. So thank you for that very poignant point!

maasai - OMG - love the goat story! You made me smile...

Have a fantastic day today everyone..

Namaste,

MM

Liv, thank you for your kind words. I was lifted reading your post. Bless you. I'm flying high today! Your words....I want to experience excitement, happiness, love and joy everyday!......how inspiring! Thank you. I love you, too!

Life is too short. This is no dress rehearsal.

Maasai, you are a true inspiration as well! You are doing an incredible job of showing what this site and personal strength can accomplish. Your goats are lucky that you are caring for them. I have 5 cats. I should think of them as S-O-B-E-R. that will help to remind me how I need to live my life. Thank you. Hope you get your cow soon!
