ODAT - Friday

Good Morning ODATer's. (some how I have a word association of tater tots with that word, makes me snicker )

Whew! One more day of the work week! Sort of. Why does my do list keep getting longer even when I check things off? Check one, add two. Keeps me busy anyway. I need a fun list too I think. I hope I get to ride 4 wheelers in the country on some trails this weekend with BIL and his friends. He said the muddier the better and thunderstorms are predicted. He said you get covered in mud so bring a towel and change of clothes. If that doesn't work out, maybe fishing. And I need a girlfriend fix of some sort. Lunch or a movie or something. And the lawn needs cutting again, grrrrrr. I never finished the back yard from first go 'round. And I HAVE to get a pair of jeans that fit.

Hubby wanted to get some clothes last night but I didn't feel like seeing him so I just didn't call him back. It didn't set a good example as I ask him to please not do that to me, but I'm OK with it. I think it was a good sign for me to not want to see him and think about me first. That won't be the case today as I'm off to work.

Have a great day, stay busy and don't drink or drink mod whichever is your desire.

Wally, hubby doesn't live with me (left me in July) and he wanted to come to the house and pick up some more of his clothes. So that's a rather different situation. Sometimes awkward. last time he rang the doorbell. It was sad, but I did laugh to myself for some reason.

Hi guys-
screwed up last night - ended up drinking a 1.5litre of wine and smoking a half pack of cigs.........why? No effin clue......habit I guess. So I'm ticked at myself for sure today cause there was no reason for it. Wasn't craving - I had a lobster dinner and wine just seemed to go with it and it just kept flowing. So now I have a busy day at work and I feel like a big bag of keerap.

Going away for the weekend - sister is getting married so looking forward to that. I have asked that AF wine be on the menu......

Hope everyone has a good day!

Love and hugs
uni

Hey Wally - going to ribfest this weekend? If so, eat some for me, I'm sorry I'm going to miss it this year.

Greenie,

Perhaps you could start packing his stuff up so that you can give it to him en mass? It might be somewhat cathartic to get that stuff out of your house and vision.

Uni,

Keep on keepin' on. You have racked up a bunch of sober days since you started. Don't let yourself slip back into old ways!! :l

Wally,

Good to see you. I might check out Mama Mia this weekend.

What is ribfest?

Love,
Cindi

hi ODATers

Hey Greeneyes, good to see you are doing so well. Uni, you have company, I screwed up last night too, don't know why either. I need to get more active on these boards and come here and post and chat instead of drinking. Cindi you changed your name, how come? Wally I loved LOVED Mama Mia, it was still playing around here on Tuesday anyway. Went to see Get Smart. Here is to day 1 and getting it together here.

Cin - thanks for the positive words.

Ribfest is a big huge Rib BBQ at a park on the water near where Wally and I live. They have bands and food and it's a lot of fun with great food!

Hi all ODATers
Happy Friday to everyone. Uni and Suzanna: I screwed up last night too. No reason, just happened. UGH....Today is a new day though and I will be AF.

Happy Friday All - I am now on day 10. Last night was gratefully busy, so no time to even think about drinking... had to take the girls to Karate, run to the market, get the sweet baby a bath, watch the convention, so many things to do...AL free again! I can't believe I have made it to 10 days and am quite happy. Lately, and maybe it is me, I haven't felt so great posting on the boards....seems like there is some kind if "climate change" on the board...maybe it is the impending fall...lots of stressors with kids going back to school and stuff I guess. Kinda feel like an outsider alot...KWIM? Maybe because I am new and don't really know anyone yet - just having my own pity party - no need to attend...lol! Also, I am probably extra sensitive at this point so it is probably all in this big fat head of mine anyway! Stupid AL.

For everyone who had a littel slip - it happens. Don't beat yourself up and we will be here for you. I would have loved to have a glass of wine as big as my ass last night - felt I 'deserved" it, but time got away from me...THANKFULLY!

We have a big weekend planned - stuff to do every day which does NOT involved AL which is awesome. Going to the Renaissance Faire and I am stoked! I am on vacation next week - have to get everything ready for school - but will check in daily. Hope everyone has a great day and weekend.

I am so sorry, Greenie. I had no idea that he had moved out. I must say I admire you a lot for staying sober through this. You are one tough cookie. Pack up his clothes and leave them on the door step.

4-wheeling sounds like so much fun. It would be a stress reliever for sure. :l

Hullo ODATers,

Seems like alot of us "slipped up" las night. I feel I have fallen back into my old habit of a bottle of wine, plus a glass more, every night. Grrrr.... I need to stop for a while again!!! I think I will join the September AF crowd and try to get 20days AF in. I am going to Hawaii for a conference on the 20th, so that would be a nice stretch. Drinking makes me gain weight and I would rather lose 5-6 lb before my trip, and the only way that will happen is if I quite with the wine!!! Some extra incentive, yes???

KB - good work on 10days - or isn't it more than 10 days for you??? I'd love to go to a renaissance fair!!
Greenie - I agree with the others -pack up his clothes and get them outta there!!!

Nice long weekend ahead - Red Dress Run for me tomorrow - should be a blast!!!

Greenie,

However, I would suggest you do NOT throw them in the front yard and burn them.

Ripple did that to her hubby's stuff last year and ended up with an ankle monitor. :H

Amazing how they can piss us off, huh?

Love,
Cindi

[New Day]

ODAT - Friday

Happy Friday all OADTER's ..... I too drank last night ..... congratulations to all of you who didn't! Mine was a planned drinking night though..... I will try and explain why. I have had more AF days than not over the last month since discovering MWO, so I'm very happy about that. However, my longest stretches seem to be 4 and 5 days. Yesterday was day 4, and because I have a big wedding to attend on Saturday where I want to attend hangover free, that means no drinking tonight. I was afraid if I was to try and go 6 days when I haven't managed it before, I'd end up getting plastered at the wedding, which I absolutely cannot do. Meeting my daughter's future in-laws for the very first time (they'll be at our table) ... and I'll know just about everyone there, so it would be a very bad thing if I got drunk then.
So, I figured I'd better have some wine last night, and then I'd be free to stay AF tonight, and be able to moderate at the wedding. So, even though I slipped, it was a planned slip, without an absolute craving.
Come Sept. 1 I'm joining the bunch that are going to try 30 days for September.
Enjoy your weekend everyone!

Hey New Day, and I do actually understand your thinking on that wedding. I have never made it past day 5. But I am signing up for September AF and looking forward to it. Will stick myself close to the boards. AF tonight too for sure!!
