ODAT - Thursday

[greeneyes]

Good morning!

It is gorgeous weather here. I love October. GF wants to go to the beach this month. We can get a beach front condo for free. Oh, I hope it works out. Just then for a split second I had that AF uh-oh feeling. "What will it be like to go and be AF? Oh dear, can I do it? We've partied there for 12 years." ..... "Of course I can! She supports my not drinking and I'll enjoy it so much more being AF."

Yesterday hubby had to tap into credit line in a big way to meet expenses. It was hard to keep off the panic train. Health insurance premiums went up AGAIN. I'm scared to look at my investments, yada, yada, yada. I had to hold onto my big girl pants tightly to keep it at bay. Panic is a powerful emotion. Faith is a powerful tool.

Have a great day and keep the faith!

Hi ODATers!

Greenie you are just so transformed - you go girl!

Have been messed around this morning waiting in for 2.5 hours for alarm guy who just didn't show up - so frustrating, felt like a G&T but I haven't - had some soup instead. Am not drinking now before 9pm on the days I do and as I go to bed just after 10pm this seems to be keeping me modding along.

Hope all you ODATs are doing just fine.

Luv Bx

ODAT - Thursday

This was in one of my "messages of the day" type thing I get via email:

Jesus said, “Don’t be anxious about tomorrow. God will take care of your tomorrow too. Live one day at a time” (Matthew 6:34 LB).

"Even" Jesus believed in ODAT!!!

So, I'm on Day 3. I have waves of both Confidence AND Shakiness!!! ?????

Off to Santa Fe tomorrow (YAY!). Probably won't be posting until I get back. "Might" have a drink - haven't seen friend in Years (but I don't even know if she drinks... hoping NOT).

But IF I do - it will be in Moderation!!

Have great AF day!

Good day all ODATer's --- just checking in and everyone seems very positive ... yeah! I'm on my day 5 and this is my challenge day. It's my 32 wedding anniversary, so I do plan on having a glass or two of wine with dinner out tonight with hubby. The challenge part, is coming home and NOT having any more! If I get through that I will be so happy to have made that spectacular progress. I will probably log on here tonight when we get home, just to keep me from hitting the liquor cabinet.
I'm feeling so great being AF these past few days. It certainly is worth the struggle.
Wishing you all more power to reach your daily goal today.

Day 12 here. I feel really good today. It was cool and beautiful this morning but it's still going to hit 100degrees this afternoon. When will summer finally end? I am really excited to watch the VP debates tonight. Hoping to see lots of blood hit the podium. I just love political violence! It will be nice to NOT get into a heated, drunken political argument with my husband for once (over things we agree about no less!). Things are getting better and better between us. It's hard to believe that only a week ago things were so so bad.

Amazing how AL has the power over relationships. It touches all of us drinkers and non-drinkers alike. Last week I had to go to a liquor store to buy a bottle of Port, called for in a recipe, never before did I have such hatered of that kind of store. I felt so sick in there, just thinking about what AL does to the man I love and to us and to the people who have become my virtual friends.
I am so happy for you noma'am, it was just a matter of time.
