Alrighty!! Brand new week!

Get up Bessie, you have linens to wash and animals to tend. Oh, so do I. Then I'm off to the hole. I'm going to kick it's arse this week! I have a holiday coming up and have got to have things in order. Holiday is the all time motivator isn't it? By the end of the week I willl not have to wear my wellies to wade around in my office and scream Pants!! LOL! (getting good at it am I not, Bessie?)

Have a fabulous start to your week.

all the best ~beanie

Good Morning My ODAT friends,

My daughter called me last night. She is in such pain she can barely move.

She wants me to get her into rehab asap.

I pray she did not change her mind over night.

Wish us luck, everyone!!

Love,
Cindi

Morning all! I did post earlier but it dumped me off......gah! And I didn't have time to do it again. Rushing now but checking in. LOL at Greeny - you are getting the hang of the mother tongue!

Cindii - really pleased to read your news. Please God all goes well from now on. Big hugs.

My plan against Al got kyboshed (sp?) yesterday - dammit! - but I have a good plan in place for today so I WILL be entering another zero tonight. I know I will.

Love and luck to all who follow.

Good Morning all,

Not exactly Springlike this morning. Oh, well. Today I will be stripping wallpaper - I admit I rather like destroying things so this job is one I like. Up early to get the kiddos off to school.

Cindi, So happy for you. Hope this time it takes. I really don't know why "rock bottom" is so different for all of us.

Have great days Bessie and Greenie,
Beck

i am a returning newbie, can someone please tell me what ODAT means.

ODAT-Monday

Welcome back Aduggan. ODAT stands for One Day At a Time! Some of us like to approach Al like that. Deal with one day only. Don't worry about tomorrow or yesterday - just how today is going to go. Nothing wrong with planning a run of days AF (alcohol free - you probably know that one!) but I for one, find that as long as I can get through this day it doesn't seem like such a big effort. I get my daily fix of this forum on here too. Dip in whenever you want. Be good to hear from you.

Hi all, Cindi, I hope your daughter is ready, hopefully detox will work for her, you will be in my thoughts!

Hi to AD, welcome back.

Janice, good to see you here,

Bessie, hope all is well on the farm.

Greeneyes, yeah, a holiday is surely a motivator, have fun wherever you are going off to!

Hi Beck, glad to be here and see you.

rustop, good to see you here too.

Glad to have a quiet, "paperwork day" today, last week whipped my butt!!! Not used to being so busy and after being BORED out of my wits before my vacation, I was out of shape!!

lots of love,:l:l:h:h

Hi Janice and all you others. Life been a bit hectic, started a new bed and breakfast in france, which is going really well, but it is so hard as alcohol is still always around. It has crept up and up and now I am probably drinking as much, if not more than ever. So need a reality check and trying to start again. It will be hard, but I want to do it, my liver enzymes are elevated and i know my health is suffering as are my relationships, I dont feel respect from my family or friends anymore, this is a mixture of their lack of respect for my drinking and also my being overweight. I can see the looks on their faces - how can she do this to herself! and in the cold light of day I agree with them, but I seem to have this self destruct button that will not allow myself to lose weight or stop drinking as if I dont deserve to be healthy or happy.

Enough about me, how you guys been going on. Anyone out there who was there when the old newbies in need thread was started. Janice, how have you been going on? Would love to catch up with you all.AD

feel for you

AD, I feel for you, it is like this disease WANTS us to be unhappy so it can keep us down and in it's trenches so we keep drinking and say "what the F**K", may as well keep on drinking......................it is a viscious cycle, and until I broke it, I never knew how much hope can be had!

I am glad you shared your difficulties here, you will get lots of support from everyone.

Love you,:l:h

HUGS!!!!!:l:l
