Morning all.

Quick start to the day. What a thread yesterday! We are a diverse bunch! Thanks for cheering me up - still giggle at the idea of CaptnJack doing a little funny dance to cheer me up and as for the 'Who Farted' books.......:H:H

Gotta get on with 'stuff' .... so what's new?!!

Have a good day all. Hope you can focus on Al today - AF or mod - whatever your plans are. I will be AF. I'm back on track. Hope you all are too.

PS Uni says hi and she missed everyone on here. Doing well modding on holiday. She'll be back next week. :H:H

Salut! (Romanian)

Finally decided to go ahead and get up rather than lie there and mull. I have 4 days to knock some stuff out at the office while hubby is away on a trip with his um... other person. I hope it is better when the charade is over. It must be hard for him to make up those lies and try to uphold them. At least as hard as it is for me to stand there and listen to them. He gets furious at me when he trips up and it is upsetting to me. I know you're thinking "Get the hell out of there!" And I am, but it will be best if my ducks are in a row. The timing will be right when I know I can always hold my chin up and say I left with all in order. It becomes more and more clear to me every day why I drank so much the past few years. I clung so to those moments of true happiness with him that were so sadly few and far between. I guess I still do in a way but now they are memories.

I think I may use drink tracker for anxiety med to help me make sure I'm on track with not replacing one with the other. I have to be very careful with that.

I'm off to buy a lawnmower, edger and blower this morning. I have never done any of the above so this will be interesting.

Doggie will get play time in today. She is getting more familiar with running with the big dogs at the park but is still a bit overwhwelmed and nervous.

Have a great day!

ODAT Saturday

Hi,
Starting the day feeling good as I was AF yesterday. Hope to continue today, but am going out to dinner, and that is so hard for me. I know I will want one glass of wine. Anyway, I know how much better I feel this morning than yesterday! Largely due to the support here, and coming to this site last evening when I was debating going to the liquor store!:thanks:

Happy morning, all

Busy, busy this weekend, but clear as a bell this morning! Can't believe it. Every Saturday I can remember lately, I've woken up feeling like crap. Thanks for the help, everyone!

Peace and happiness this weekend all. Thinking of you especially, Greenie. I was there. I made plans, too. I can still remember the almost heart-stopping moment I decided that day would be the last with him. Talk to me anytime. :h Alley

Happy Saturday!

Day 7 for me. It was one week ago today when I took my last drink.

I can't believe I got through Friday Night. I planned a couple days ago for us to go out to dinner. And we are lucky that we live in a neighborhood where we can walk to almost every place we dine at. So we went to a place that's a good 15 block walk both ways, and that gave some great space to chat and relax for a half hour each way without having a table of drinks in front of us. And, there is no answer to "what wine goes with Thai food" that solved another problem.

Got home at 8pm and I actually stayed up and social without needing my usual "Friday night" remedies. Amazing.

A bit groggy still this morning (MORE COFFEE!) but thankful to feel I've turned a huge corner on my life.

Everyone seems so hopeful today and reaching their goals. I am so proud of all of you- life gets better and better, doesn't it? I know problems don't cease to exist but our ways of dealing with them become far less dramatized. As our minds start to clear from the alcohol haze we become much better equipped "to deal". I'm sorry, greeneyes, that you are dealing with a cheating husband. Does he know you know? How long do you think it will be before you can break free? Being AF will certaining help you in this crucial preparation phase. So sorry for your loss. kriger

greenhouse, Good luck on day 2; you know day 1 is the hardest to get thru. Have fun at the gym
nurse, congrats for NOT going to the liquor store-that too a lot of courage
capt- the visual of the "wet lettuce" will stick with me all day..lol. Where do u come up with these things?
Alley, Keep up the good work. What a novel idea- a Sat without a hangover!
Boss- You have made it one week! I can tell by your post that you are feeling pretty damn proud of yourself, as you should be. I look forward to more of your research results- I love that stuff!
I hope everyone has a great AF weekend! kriger

Hey green eyes,
My wife cheated on me about 6 years ago and I still can't let it go. We are still together if you can call it that but it is mostly for my boy. I too like you need to get my ducks in a row before the big goodbye. So stay strong, you can private me if you need to talk to someone in the same situation or just post. We are here for you.

Hello Bessie and everybody!

It's been a while since I have posted, like over a month. I have been on holiday alot, with family visitors and a trip to my home city where we had a ceremony to inter my mother's ashes - pretty sad. The long and short of it is that I come from a family of wine-o siblings and I seem to have fallen back into nightly drinking! Before, when I would drink wine after my 30days af, I only had 1 bottle around at a time, not on work nights, but I have been buying boxes again, and this is not good. Back to work monday, so I am aiming to go AF starting tomorrow - I think I need to start using the cd's again, and get back on the Kudzu and L-Glut!! I need something to motivate me!!! The Topa really messed with my body so I got off it, but I may try it again in the future - we'll see....

By the way Greenie - I think you are doing it right. Be prepared for the parting - it won't be easy, but if you have your ducks in a row, that will be one less thing to worry about. I know when my hubby and I split (6-7 years ago) I had to start doing all the jobs - all the so called "man jobs" around here - but it wasn't so bad! I can do anything pretty much as I am a "do it yourself" type (mostly because I can't afford to pay someone to do all the house reno projects!) - my latest job is painting the outside of my house - the ladder freaks me out a bit, but I just ignore my fear of heights and get on with it. Have fun shopping for that lawnmower!

OK - back out to the can of paint! I am going to try popping in here everyday for some motivation!
xoxo Peanut
