ODAT - Tuesday

Morning all you ODATers!

The sun is hitting the tops of the trees against a steadily bluing sky outside the window. Is today the day Greenie mows the lawn? :H Little car got brakes yesterday but they said I shouldn't pretend the "check engine" light isn't on so it goes back in today. $ So, without a car and the phone people coming this afternoon looks like a good chance of getting to the yard. So, baked sweet potato (I know, but it's what I want) for breakfast and off to the office for the AM.

It's nice to be content without AL. Still have all the "stuff" to deal with, but dealing is so much easier with a clear head. Clear sky, clear head. It's a good day.

Good morning!!!

Well, couldn't get to sleep last night so I was planning on going back to bed after I got the kids ready for school, but lo and behold...work calls....can you come in? That blew that nap! So off to work I go....which is fine.....money for Christmas and pay off my credit card :$

I agree Greenie, it is easier to deal with having a clear head!

Oh, did anyone watch Intervention last night? I normally don't watch it, but this one chick was inhaling computer keyboard dusters.....OMG! My hands freeze when holding the can, I can imagine the damage to her lungs, poor thing.

Anyway....I hope everyone has a good day!!!!

Dreary day out, feel great in! Had an opportunity to drink lots of wine last night and left half a glass. I don't think I've EVER done that in my life. I swear, it's that Kudzu. I finally got the MWO Kudzu in the mail yesterday and it really makes a difference for me. The other (cheaper) stuff doesn't work.

So, I feel great and inspired! Hubby and I are talking things over today, finally. :h

Greenie, haven't gotten to my lawn, either. I'm hoping the kids think I left it long to make it look creepy for Halloween :H

Have a great day, ODATers and all :l

I came home from work on Friday and my neighbour, who is about 75, was cutting my front grass on his riding lawn mower.....it looked hilarious...I live in a subdivision, front lawns aren't very big, lol! My dh normally cuts his grass but he thought he would do it for us for a change.....sweet! Or maybe it was too long for him, lmao!!!

ODAT - Tuesday

Good Morning all --- Start of day 3 for me. Dreary day here, but it's not affecting my mood today .... I'm excited about going out to Calgary to visit my daughter tomorrow.
Weather's been so cold, our grass isn't growing anymore ... haven't had to cut it in over 2 weeks ... probably won't have to until next spring now. Do have to clear out the gardens still and do lots of raking when I return though.

BecomingMe .... well done on avoiding drinking all the wine available. Your Kudzu must work better than mine! I don't think I crave it physically ... just mentally! ... and that's the hardest part of this battle for me. Does your Kudzu change the taste of wine for you.... I've noticed if I have L-Glut and Kudzu and then give in to wine, the first glass doesn't taste so great. (You'd think I'd want to stop right there, wouldn't you? .. LOL)

I like this feeling of being energetic and clearheaded ... I have to want that more than wine in the future.

Have a super day everyone!

New Day,

Yes, it changes the taste and I sat there looking at this beautiful, large glass of half-full chardonnay, my favorite, and I just didn't want it. Period. I drank my water instead, I was so thirsty and not for wine. And this was in a restaurant, one of my biggest weaknesses.

I want to be energetic and clearheaded and HAPPIER, not depressed, than wine, too, buddy. The L-Glut helps me a lot for immediate cravings, definitely. So, I'm calling this Day 2 AF for me because to leave a glass of wine like that is 10x more than going completely AF. It was a huge moment for me, honestly! I was so freakin' happy! I still am! LOL

Hellooooo all you ODATers,

I feel wonderful this morning.....but sore. I stayed sober and took my son swimming last night. Open swim is at 7pm and I would normally never go out then. It was great! Even went down the slide, I felt like a kid again. But I am paying for it today. I guess thats what I get for not exercising for so long. Waaaaayyy better than a hangover though!!! We are going again tonight. He looked so happy.


Greeneyes, Grass, what grass?? Mine is a pretty white blanket of snow. No more mowing for me.

Christy, didn't see it, that sounds awful. Hope you have a good day.

Becomming, I feel the same way, Kudzu almost makes you mod.

New Day, your name is perfect...its a new day, good job day 3


Have a wonderful Tuesday everyone :l:l:l

Hi guys,

Everyone sounds so positive today, I love it!

I was AF/NF last night and I too love waking up feeling clear headed. I didn't sleep well though so I am really tired today. Busy night too - it just seems that I never get a chance to slow down. Honestly, it gets tough after while when I just have to keep going and going and going..........I really wish sometimes that I could just win the lottery! I just need a break! Even if I just won 100k and could take a couple of years and only work part time I would be just fine with that!

Ah..........to dream.........and now back to work......

Have a great day!

Hello everyone
It sounds like everyone is doing well, I on the other hand am not. I set my mind to not drink this past weekend but did anyway. I feel awful not only physically but emotionally. Why can't I do this? I'm hopeful that I will today, that I will not drink please send positive energy my way. I have a Dr's appointment next week so I need to do this so that my head is clear when I speak with her. Kudzu doesn't do anything for me either maybe it's because I'm not consistent. I have everything, the book, the cd all the supplements but admit that I'm just not disciplined enough. If I'm not drinking then I'm to depressed and hangover to do anything about it. I just need to get a few AF day under my belt and I will start today, wish me luck

1 more - my thoughts are with you and I am sending strength your way. You can do this - once you get one AF day under your belt it makes it easier to get some more. Good luck today - pm me if you need encouragement. If you like tea, when you get home or when you would normally have your first drink have a cup of tea - that way you didn't start with alcohol - I don't know, I find it helps me!

Keep trying,
Love and Hugs
Uni

thank you universal. I appreciate all the support and will try the tea when I get home today is the perfect day for it; it's rainy and cold. I'm also going to start my qigong practice again. Thanks again

Yes, uni, there is something magical about that cup of tea. I bought some "special" teas and savor not just the tea, but the process from start to finish.

With the supps, I had to get one of those big pill boxes with (am,noon,pm,bed) otherwise I would never be able to keep them straight.
