    ODAT - Saturday

    Morning everyone! :rays:
    Hope you all had a good friday evening! It is good to wake up to a new day especially if yeaterday didn't go great...I managed not to drink but felt terribly low all evening and couldn't stop:upset:
    Never mind feeling more positive today. We are off to a family party today and staying in hotel overnight. Rather nervous but plan to go armed with alternative tasty drink. Means hubby can drink anyway while I do the driving!
    Have a healthy and peaceful weekend!:hug:

    Good morning all. Glad to hear your feeling better evie. Im feeling very poistive today, and had such great fun last night posting videos and joining in the fun. When i think what i felt like this time last sat it brings a smile to my face! Going to cook a 3 course meal for my partner tonight, cause she deserves something back from me. Going to print menus and really try to impress. Really enjoy cooking, and it keeps my mind off booze. Plus, its wales first football worldcup qualifier today, so everyone i know will be down the pub cheering them on, so preparing my meal will keep my mind off things. Dont know why they support them anyway, we'll prob lose 3-0!! Have a good day everyone

      Hi all

      Sounds like you've all got it well planned out for tonight :goodjob:....which has reminded me that I haven't but I'm damn sure it won't involve al as we're both on a month off and I can't do it with hubby here and I don't even want to atm! YAY!

      What I think I will have to do is sort out all my 'stuff' for tomorrow. I'm doing a sponsored 20 mile ride at Newmarket racecourse for Macmillan cancer charity. I think it is possibly going to rain :H as that is all it seems to be doing here atm! I'll be packing waterproofs and dry clothes for me, extra big haynet and warming rug for horse. It's a good ride as it includes the gallops which are fab even on a slow horse (though it might be more of a splash than a gallop!) Any other time I might have taken a hip flask but this time it will be a flask of coffee only!

      Wish me luck!

          Good Morning All:
          Is this what happens when we get sober Welshman? Yesterday, I baked banana bread and at dinnertime, made a lovely haddock filet, baked potatoes, steamed baby spinach. Yum. Now I am waiting for my son to get up so I can cook some breakfast for him. I have always loved to cook. RIP, So Great to see you!! Today is Day 5. I have to work 3pm-12am today, so will be another AF day. Yay. Tomorrow may be challenging. Opening game for my beloved New England Patriots!!! No one has called to watch the game with me. I guess I have turned down the drinkers too many times. Oh well, my daughter will probably be here. I may make some treats for the game. I hope everyone has a fabulous day!!!

            Hi guys, just checking in!

            Doing okay, it's rainy and miserable here which sucks cause I have to play baseball all day - but at least this is the end of our ball season so that will make it easier as I won't have to consciously try to say "no" to beers afterwards - looking forward to not having that preassure on me.

            feeling good today though, know that I can make it through.

            Love and Hugs,

                Morning All!

                Drumroll: 1st Day of Topa!

                Went out last night on a date and stayed pretty well behaved with only 2 glasses of wine. (and one while dressing) Nice guy, not my type. Oh well.

                This morning I go kayaking which should keep me out of trouble. Tonight is a Bunco Party and I'm sure there will be tons of booze. Half thinking I shouldn't go, but I know if I stay home and lonely I'll just end up driving to the store and buying more wine. This morning I poured everything out!

                For those of you on Topa, did you go AF right away, or mod for a bit first? I'm a little bit scared.

                Everyone sounds so good this morning. So encouraging!

                  Hi all --- late posting today (Noon) because I wasn't going to at all. I went 4 days AF again, and was feeling so confident that I wouldn't have a struggle yesterday, but I did. I fought it off for about 2 hours, and then thought maybe one glass of wine would calm the monster (I know, I know!). I tried pouring L-Glut poweder under my tongue as suggested, and it seemed to work briefly... and poured a couple of cranberry juice/sodas in my wine glass .... but it really didn't taste very good with dinner. From that one glass, I continued until the bottle was empty.
                  I feel so bad for giving in like that after feeling so strong throughout most of the day.... and thought about not coming here, but was afraid if I didn't, then I'd continue to drink tonight.... and I don't want to. So back to day 1 for me. I was hoping to be AF throught September. Well, if I can do the rest, with only this one day hiccup, I think I can forgive myself.
                  Sorry for rambling .... just writing my thoughts here makes me feel not alone with this struggle.
                  Wishing you all great strength and determination.

                    Hello fellow Saturday ODATs,

                    It's the end of the day for me as I haven't had the time today to get online. NewDay, it's so very good you came back after your slip. Believe me, we've all had them. I guess the difference for me is that a slip used to mean the end of trying to control the AL beast. One slip and I'd give up. Thus my "successes" were few and far between. Then, I found MWO and I feel like the tools of the program together with this site have introduced me to a lifelong path to bring the AL beast to its knees. Yes, I've slipped a couple of times, but got right back in the saddle as Bessie would say. And the good habits just keep building.

                    Anywho, today was a back-breaker. Did lots of yard work which explains why only my fingers are moving at the moment. Moved a bunch of things into the garage as we're supposed to get hit this evening with the remnants of Hanna, but it seems like it's going to miss us for the most part. Tomorrow is church and a more relaxing day. Hope everyone's Sunday is blessed and hangover-free.
