Good morning all you ODATers!

I probably shouldn't be the one to start this today as I am in a dreary mood. The weather is dreary, I am weary and have been sad for about a week. It's just sort of "there". I guess I'll sort it out. At least I'm not drinking. But I notice I'm not taking as good care of myself as I was. I need to pay attention!

Have a good day!

Hey there all ODATers

greeneyes - thanks 4 strarting the thread, was just looking for it & up you popped! Sorry you've got a dose of the blahs, not surprised with what you've been going thru. GREAT going on being AF tho, I know my sober blahs are a piece of piss compared to the living hell of drunken ones...

I'm still steady on 1 bottle wine a night. Looking to go AF asap. 3rd day on sups & CDs and am really feeling better. Kind of brainwashing myself into believing I can do it by having the CDs play all through the night! But i'm a big one for the power of belief, mind over matter & all that. Here's hoping

Let's all do only our best today, we can do no more

greenie, good and all,
I'm with you, greenie, blah all week. Was AF for a few days and blew it on Thu, felt terrible on Fri and am now on day 2 AF. I'm beginning to learn my cycle, anyway. I've stopped taking care of myself, too, and today's day 1 for that!

Good day to all of you ODATers!

Tired Nurse, home from work. Happy Nurse too though as I am not back to work until Monday Night. I will grab a bit of a nap. I have plans with a manfriend from AA tonight. Way to go Capt. I am sooo proud of you. I don't care if you're hairy hon. I love Chewbacca.lol. You know I love you too my fuzzy, wuzzy Capt.
Green, I hope that your spirits are uplifted soon. Do something that makes you feel good. Music and chocolate usually do it for me. Be good to yourself. You certainly deserve it. Have a Great Day ALL. You are always in my thoughts and prayers.

Greeneyes --- it's amazing how much the weather can influence our mood sometimes. On a positive note, you're not drinking ... just think of how black your mood could be if you were! Go and give yourself a treat to lift your spirits .... how about a nice facial, manicure and pedicure. Or a new haircut! Pamper yourself a little.

Captn --- great going on the third place finish! How nice to be out on the water and in the fresh sea air. Living in the middle of Canada, I'm soooo far from the ocean, it's a real sensory experience for me when I get to the sea.

Have a great day everyone ---- I've got to get to doing fall garden clean-up for the rest of the day! ... and today, I will not drink!

Hello fellow ODATers,

Hope you are enjoying your weekend. It's a frozen 5 below here and I just want to stay under the covers and hide.
Well day 9 was a bust, I broke down and drank. Not too too much, so I'm not feeling terrible. But I AM jumping right back on the wagon cause the week AF felt great.

Congrats on 3rd Capt

Sending "warm" wishes to all for a great AF weekend :l

New Day - facial, manicure, and pedicure - Good Idea!!!!

Hi to all you ODATers - feeling yucky too today - drank WAY too much wine last night, and it is gloomy outside today, my BF is not here as he had to get up and out early to go fix somebody's car (as a mechanic, EVERYBODY needs him!!), I don't recall him leaving. I just drank a huge glass of chocolate milk - like that will really help! - and feeling quite disgusted! I really, really, really want to do an AF November, but don't quite know how to do it anymore. How the hell did I do it last time?!?! Why so hard to do it again??

I will start some sour dough tonight and bake a big batch tomorrow for my visitors (again!) - how about a big pot of stew in a slow cooker. Wasn't there conversation about slow cookers the other day?? I think I will use mine!

OK - have a lovely day today everybody! Don't freeze, stay dry!

xoxo Peanut

Dreary here too, Greeneyes, but here in Portland, Oregon we call that "good weather". I was so-looking forward to a good walk but I need to do errands first.

I have a great book review to post in the "What we read" section today. In AF book that addresses long term cravings. Can't wait to write that up.

And I'm hoping to write up in one spot another summary of what I've learned about how to get through days 1-7. I'm getting good at those. When done I'll post here as "Getting Traction". Green if you see it, tell me what you think.

Akgirl sorry to hear you slipped. Let's work on our tools together so you and I don't do it. I'm going to get myself big cookie or something for being AF today. I'll be back.

Happy Saturday all,

Sorry I missed ya'll yesterday - was at an art showing until late. Greenie, sorry to hear you have the blahs. But, the good days are ever so sweet by comparison. You've mentioned a couple of times how soon-to-be-ex is spending like there's no tomorrow. I hope that doesn't put you in a financial jam. What I seem to be reading more now that the economy is tanking is how people are becoming aware of their excess spending habits and getting real with that old fashioned term "affordabillity."

Congrats to Capn. on 3rd place. I don't know the first thing about sailing - but friends who do love it so. And Sea, how's that new job coming? Boss, can't wait to read your new piece. Though I'm on the mod track, always appreciate your learned, thoughtful responses. Are you feeling a little better with the economy? That Dow Jones is more erratic than a drunk driver! And to Montana, AK, Peanut (glad to see you here today, last night notwithstanding), NewDay and everyone else hope your Saturday is just fine. :h
