ODAT - Tuesday

[greeneyes]

Ahhhhhhh..........

That's how I woke up this AM! The window was open and it was raining with som low rumbling thunder. I hit play on my healing music CD and felt that wonderful envelopment of spiritual peacefulness that I get a taste of more and more often now. It's like my angels are holding me in their light feathery wings and all is well and my worry thoughts wither away.

So, good morning! I hope you have a peaceful day and remember to breathe deeply.

thanks Greeny! I'm so glad you woke up so peacefully. There is definitly something to say about waking up to a light rain - I too woke up that way and I also find it peaceful.

Had a crappy day yesterday BUT i did not drink. It was one of those annoying, stressful work days where I didn't want to be there. But I managed, came home, had a nice dinner with my daughter and drank decaf coffee. Worked for me.

I love the feeling of waking up after an AF/NF night. I've had a lot this month and I'm working on moving into October and continuing with a nice long streak. That's my goal. But I'll just do it ODAT for now.

Today is a great day. And today I will not drink.

Love and hugs,
Uni

Hi all ODAT'rs

Have had visitors all week so did not get near the computer. Gearing up to have an AF October. Did not manage the 30 in September but was about 90% AF. Got to keep trying.

Have a great day everyone.

After yesterday's fall from grace, I'm looking FORWARD to being sober and back on the train again.

The "self-imposed" storm is over, the sky is clearing, and I'm looking UP.

Tip of the AF cup to All!

Morning to All

Green, what a wonderful image to wake up to. You continue to be such an inspiration to me. I also woke with a feeling of bit of peace and gave the pup a big hug and thought how great it felt to wake up without that morning fog of wine and how easy it is to forget how magic that can feel.

Uni, I too am looking forward to October as a month to really start making some major strides in this plan. I've done really good the past two day and as the final day of September is here, it's on to bigger and better days goals for me.

noma'am, Congrats on Day 10! That's so great! BTW, your analogy on the other thread just cracked me up. I know it wasn't meant all as a joke, but it was just too perfect in my mind.

rusttop, 90% AF for September is great! Here's t9o a new month!

Savon, I had a few OOPS last week as well. Not bad, but they sure remind you why we are doing this eh?

Morning also to Cinders, Capt, Sea and Evie and all to come.

I am normally dashing around like crazy in the mornings and barely read this thread, let alone have time to type. Going to change that. Something special is really happening this time around and working this program. Perhaps I was finally really ready. But I need this family here and I have to get and stay better connected.

I am so grateful. Grateful for so many things, and I even keep a list posted above my desk. I recently added MWO to the top of that list ... really.

Everyone have a wonderful and successful day filled with smiles.

PS: OK, my "peace" got a bit broken. There is a tarantula in my office! YIKES!

This is the part of "cool single chick" I HATE!

ODAT - Tuesday

Good day to ALL ODATER's ---- raining steadily here too. I had a bit of a lie in this morning --- was so nice not to have to set an alarm. Hubby has gone to the gym (he's an early riser, I'm not ... hence I have to set an alarm to get me up).... so it's nice an peaceful here while I have my morning coffee and catch up on MWO!
I had my 3rd yoga class last night, and I love it! For anyone feeling stress it is a wonderful way to calm your mind and at the same time give some rejuvination to your body/mind/spirit. I came home and had absolutely no desire to have AL. It used to be for me, if I was doing something where I couldn't drink, I couldn't wait to get home and have several before going to bed. Instead, I had a cup of herbal tea and read for awhile.
I feel good today and know I will stay AF.
Wishing you all the best for a great AF day as well!

I'm here! I'm up and clear headed. I'm on Day 1 again. Better, faster and stronger. I'm going to sit down this morning and spend some time making new tools to avoid my slips. Tomorrow is a new month, and my goal is to make it my first month AF.
