Christy - well done!! You have now experienced every day of the week AF!! Good job!

MM - Excellent! Sometimes I feel more successful modding than going AF. Probably because I find it harder to do!! I hope that at some point I can be there!

Guitarista - Hi! Hope your week is going well!

Hello to all the ODATers!

Mad Mum great to see you starting this thread it is one of a number of very long term ones that needs to keep going> Bessie started it ( the funny avartar of a cute cow with a wagging tail) in the begining and it was a great place for all those souls just starting here to take it one day at a time and then perhaps move on to more long term AL free threads if they want. But at the same time its been a great one for anyone in whatever stage of recovery to hang around.
Thanks mm
Guitar man 7 days way to go
Christy acc 7 up toooooooo YEAAAAAAAA

ODAT Tuesday

Good morning (or afternoon/or evening wherever you are) all ODATer's ---- Christy --- 7 days .... great ... that's a goal a few of here are trying to achieve this week.... good on you!
Start of day 2 (again) for me. Dreary, wet fall day here. ... but I have a tennis match at Noon to look forward too ... my first competitive match in over 10 months! Great to get back to the game! (we play indoors here in the fall/winter months in case you're wondering).

MM --- I struggle with modding ... sometimes I can, sometimes it gets away on me.... especially if I'm at home

Have a terrific day everyone. I'll be back later towards the bewitching hours for me (5:00 - 9:00) to help ward off AL!

ODAT Tuesday

Hi everyone -

New day - I'm with you on day 2 - looking to get another 7 under my belt and then go from there. I also hear what you say about modding - depends on the drink for me - I can mod easily with beer but wine? Forget it - I have recently decided to completely cut wine out of my life. I can't handle it, it makes me stupid and I am NOT able to mod when drinking that at all.

It's dreary here today, supposed to rain all day. I have a really busy day at work but really it's one of those days that I wish I stayed under the covers. I am going to save a "mental health day" though for the winter when it's a blustery snowy day and i am going to stay home, wrapped in the covers watching movies all day - doesn't that sound like heaven!!

Hope everyone has a great day whether modding of AF - it will be AF for me.

Love and hugs,
Uni

Day 2 again here for another Canuck!!!! I didn't sleep at all last night though. Well, maybe dozed a bit. It is such a strange feeling,to be so tired and just lay there, unable to drop off. I even tried some melatonin. Very frustrating, but I tried to stay calm. I had to move to a different bed/room as BF was being rather NOISY!!!!! If I can be asleep, the snoring doesn't get to me, but I can't fall asleep with that noise - constantly elbowing the poor dude!!!!

Dreary here too. A mental health day today would have been grand Uni!!! Doctor appt - must inquire about a couple suspicious moles. Congrats on day 7 Christy and on successful modding MM (I wonder what that feels like?!?!) I was out with a small group of ladies last night (we all have boys the same age,now in Grade 12, but had decided a few years ago when they went into high school that we would keep in touch and get together a few times a year). So like I have said before, going out is not such a problem for me - I drank soda and lime and really enjoyed myself. Another glass of soda and cranberry at home wtih 2 smokes and that was it. It is so good not drinking, as I don't smoke as much either!!

To work!!!! Have a terrific tuesday everybody!!
xoxo Peanut

Hi everyone,

Day 2 here as well. It's getting colder and darker by the day. I swear, the older I get the more winters bug me. Some days I have to ask myself, what the heck are you doing living in Alaska anyways?

Hope you are all well and happy, good luck to you on whatever day you might be on :l

AK,
Lovin life ODAT!!!

[New Day]

ODAT Tuesday

Hi all --- the end of day 2 for me too. It SNOWED here this afternoon! AKgirl, I know you can't sympathize, and I really don't know how you deal with the dark and cold for so long!
Peanut --- try earplugs .... I've got a hubby that can fall asleep as soon as his head hits the pillow ... takes much longer for me ..... but if I didn't block out his snoring, I'd be in the guest room every night.

When my kids were little, I used to imagine and wishing I could be so sick that I couldn't get out of bed and somebody else would have to deal with the day-to-day stuff .... I really just wanted a day of staying in bed, being left alone, etc. etc. Now that they are grown and gone I guess I could do a day like that, but there is still too much daily stuff to deal with. Maybe one day this winter I will declare a "sick day" and just lounge around too. ... and be healthy enough to really enjoy it. Whenever I was sick when the kids were little, it didn't matter.. you still had to suck it up and get on with the day.... and if you did stay in bed because you were sick, they never left you alone anyways.

Bring on day 3!

It snowed here this morning, too! I'm not ready for this! Day 1 for me again after 3 days AF, 2 very successful days of modding then last night I blew it. Sigh. I will be AF today, though. Good to hear from all of you. It's dreary out and am having a hard time as I'm so very disappointed with myself. Oh well, ODAT.

Hi everyone....

No snow here....well, when I took garbage out at work it almost seemed like faint snow. I am not ready either!!!! I HATE the cold!!! I would love to move somewhere warm and a beach, but....in Canada we don't have many warm beaches, lol!

Becoming--don't beat yourself up. You did 3 days AF AND 2 good days of moding! Be proud of that! We are only human.....we aren't perfect....don't dwell, get back on your horse and plug thru. I know the dreariness outside doesn't help. Would be better if it were sunny for you....I am sending you sunny thoughts!!!! Don't be sad Becoming....
