ODAT Thursday

[greeneyes]

Good morning everybody! I have my gym schedule and will get a call today about personal trainers so that I can make that commitment. They have yoga in the mornings, hummmm. I just need more hours in a day is all :H Don't we all! I have the perfect banana for my smoothie this AM and feel happy. Onward to the black hole! Have a wonderful day!

Greeneyes,

Thank you for starting the thread. You are up awfully early, though, my goodness!!

Good for you about the gym and keeping the doc. I think that is the wisest course.

Okay, all ODATers, tomorrow is my appt with my shrink and I am on pins and needles with excitement. It would never have occurred to me a year ago to get excited about taking a drug that will make you deathly ill if you drink. :H

However, I have finally come to the conclusion that it is what I must do and once the decision was made thanks to AFM, Det, Beth and Hippie's all relating their success on Antabuse, I feel positive I am making the right choice.

I hope all my wonderful ODAT friends have a great Thursday and attain their goals whatever they are.

Love,
Cindi

Hi Greeneyes, great for you starting the gym w/ a trainer, you sound excited about it, good for you!!:thumbs:

I feel pretty good this morning, have an extremely busy evening but should be fun..........just gotta get through the day first, very boring here at the office, thank GOD for MWO, I will be spending alot of time here today!

Everyone else, I hope you meet your goals for this day!!

Morning green, cindi and cowgal and all to come.
Cindi, I am so happy for you and your choice - I'm sure it will work for you and I am behind you all the way, I know you have had challenges in your struggle with this beast.
Cowgal, good to see you doing so well.

I am still struggling but am way better than before - mine is more of an alone problem than a social problem - talked to another member last night and decided to post my social vs alone challenge. Any suggestions, please see that thread and help me out!

Today I will not drink - this is an O in my tracker, I have decided and since i wasn't able to keep to that vow yesterday - today it shall be.

By the way - things with the BF are better than they have been in MONTHS and his new house is awesome!!!!! Finally, somethings going right! LOL

Love you gujys,
Uni

ODAT Thursday

Good morning all. I think I'm pretty much at the end of the physical withdrawal. I'm on day 7 AF. I slept well last night without benadryl and I feel GREAT this morning. I've already lost 3 pounds this last week. Hmmmm....do you think ditching those calories in 1.5-2 bottles of wine per day is having any effect? :H

I check into Schick-Shadel in 3 days. It's an AVERSION therapy program, not a traditional rehab. I think of it like a mental form of Antabuse. I'm going to get hypnotized into wanting to barf with alcohol!

I'm so happy that I went AF first. I'm glad to be only dealing with the head part of it, not the whole body part.

Cindi: I'm really looking forward to hearing how you do with the antabuse. I'm thinking of you every day.

Uni: keep up the good work. I've been white knuckling through the 'cocktail' hour of 5pm-8pm. It seems if I can get past 8, I'm fine. I don't have an answer for you...just know you're not alone in your struggle.

Cowgal and greeneyes: Have a great day!
