    ODAT - Friday

    Morning all! Ok it's Friday - just another day. Only another day. Just another set of 24 hours to get through whether AF or moderately. And for many of them you we will be doing sleeping, eating, driving and so many other things to keep us occupied and distracted. Some of us will even be counting ants having sex in our houses!!! :H:H

    Can't say I'm feeling brilliant this morning but not because of al. More to do with sleeping in the spare bed last night because of airing the mattress for the main bed. It really isn't that comfy - think I might have to get a new mattress or else my guests will only stay one night...... on the other hand...!! :H. Also my diet is really poor atm. I'm just too busy to eat properly so I'm snacking on high carb/high fat stuff and that is bad and I think is causing me to feel shite in the mornings. I had the most horrible dreams :upset: and feel really blah. Think the unrelenting workload (and it doesn't help that I'm a workaholic!!!) and constant living in an environment with nowhere to go to relax is getting to me a bit. Still, Bessie is nothing if not a trier so I'll be getting on and getting out into the beautiful, perfect summer day we have here. It's a peach!

    Hope everyone to follow had a full night's sleep, is refreshed and rested and raring to go with the day. And may it be AF or moderated successfully - whatever you are trying for. :l:l

    ODAT - Friday

    Morning everyone,

    Ditto on the sleep front Bessie - I have been having some horrible dreams lately, very life like, waking up not sure if they were true or not, luckily not! Plus not helped by my two kids coming into my bed in the middle of the night, along with the dog. They don't normally come in but they knew Daddy was away - so it was arms, legs and paws everywhere. Just couldn't get comfortable!

    Overcast here at the moment but that can change any second either to lashing rain or sun and then back again, the weather here is so frustrating.

    However, my hubby should be home by 5 and although he doesn't know it yet it will have to be 'Daddy Day Care' for the weekend. I have a piece of work to do that has to be submitted on Monday morning which I haven't even been able to start yet and apparently it takes about three days of full concentration to do it - crap, great weekend ahead of me so but def an AF one!. Better go and start it although any hope of getting much of it done during the day with my two is highly unlikely, they are already fighting over something.:upset:

    Hope everyone has a good Friday

            Good Morning
            Finally a sunny day here in the Northeast US. Lots of rain just about killed my veggie garden and flowers.
            Have not been doing well at all with AL lately. This morning I dumped the last of the wine down the sink and there's no more wine in the house. Today I want to be AF and that's my plan. I will not buy any AL either!! I need some support because I can't go on like this. It's so hard but I am determined.
            Good day to all

              I've been up since 4:30... and today is AF Day #1. I may be taking a nap at some point (at least have not figured out how to sleep & drink at same time!!).

              Groggy. I just want to try not to sleep too much during day - otherwise, I'll be on the cycle of not sleeping at night.

              Good luck, all!!

                Hello everyone!!

                Just wanted to pop in for a quit hello! Hubby just called and apparently the cows broke the fence down, and he needs me to fix it. Than should be interesting!! Not that I can't, but it will probably take me way too long! At least he got the hay baled at 3:00 am. Crops look great!

                Been nice and quiet around here, eldest son at camp, youngest son still recuperating from tonsils out. That will change soon, son comes home tonight. Lots of outdoor work to do today--county fair starts this weekend, so will be busy with that!

                Believe it or not, Fridays are pretty much like any other day to me finally. Used to be my favorite day of the week. Not because I could finally drink, after a long week, but it was really ok to drink cause it was Friday after all! (Used to drink almost every night)

                Well, I better get after it before the girls get out again!!:H

                Have a great weekend all!:h:h

                  Hi everyone,

                  Green, sorry you're having a rough time but good on you for dumping the wine - you can do it!

                  I had a good night last night - shared a bottle of wine with BF over dinner but that was all we had, coffee after that so I woke up this morning feeling great. Slept pretty well last night (not great but much better than I have been).

                  Work has been very stressful this week but I'm on holidays again in a week and I am really looking forward to it. I intend to have some AF days and mod days on my holidays and no dog days which should be quite easy as my daughter will be with me and I successfully accomplished this last time. My BF is off right now as well so he is coming too which I am really looking forward to. Some nice family time.

                  Anyway - busy day so I'm off! Hope everyone has a great day!
                  To those having a rough one, hang in there! You can do this.

                  Love and Hugs,
                  Uni

                      Hey Greenhouse, Savon, good for you, you are looking forward to being AF today and feeling a WHOLE lot better very soon! Keep you eyes on the prize when it gets sticky and difficult... just re-focus your attention on what you REALLY want, and not on what your alcohol-craving brain is telling you!

                      Best wishes,

                      WIP

                        Yes, Green you CAN do it. The encouragement and support you gather here will help you. I know I wouldn't have been able to without it .... because I never have before. I'm amazed... .after just over 2 weeks since I've found this site, I am now on day 6 AF! First couple of nights were tough getting to sleep, but the last 2 have been great ...(still take Melatonin and Valerian to help me settle though). My plan was to go AF through this week and then Mod tonight and tomorrow, but if I don't REALLY crave a drink, I might just go another AF day .... ODAT! Last night I did struggle not to open a bottle of wine, and drank lots of decaf tea, hot water with lemon and then made a tonic with lots of lime juice and ice ... and that got me past the craving (or shut that AL's voice up in my head!).
                        Thanks to all for your postings..... strength in numbers.

                          Thank you WIP and New Day. The only thing I want to crave is sobriety.
                          I can get through this with all of you guys and my determination. Must stay focused.:thanks:

                            Hello to all!

                            Greenhouse, good for you! I did that a few days ago as well; poured the last of it down the sink. It still didn't stop me, but it kept me under pretty good control.

                            Feeling better this morning than I have in the past few days. Damn, is there a strong connection to drinking too much and than feeling REALLY sad.

                            Slowly but surely I will get over the addiction of this guy and the breakup and thank the Universe that he was a strong influence on motivating me to get my drinking under control by losing him. Not that that was the reason, but SHEZZZZZ I sure was looking at "us" through beer goggles! (make that wine goggles) Further I move away from heavy drinking, the clearer I can see how wrong the relationship really was for me.

                            Also order some sage sticks to do some house cleansing/ smudging (the Indian rituals can't hurt) and especially for my new bedroom. I had JUST finished a major remodel in the bed and bathroom (3 months) when he spilled a large glass of red wine all over the place and the results were my frustration (combined with 3-4 glasses of wine) that made me blow up .... and off he went forever. WHAT a way to learn a lesson about drinking! Time the clear all of the bad energy out of this house of ALL of the nonsense connected with my drinking.

                            Getting ready for my week long camping trip on Sunday. Gave the "heads up" to my buddy again last night to help me keep the drinking under control. Wish I had Internet access to come here, darnnit!

                            Also, my new copy of the book arrives today. Will be good camp reading at those tough moments. Also back in full force with the supps this morning. I had been forgetting about AllOne ..... DUH! Have enough to take camping and just ordered more.

                            Everyone have a great day and there IS strength in numbers.
