ONE DAT AT A TIME Wednesday

[dingbat]

Good morning all!!! Day 28 here! I have a question. Sea is on day 30 today, but does that count as 30 days, or will it only count tomorrow?? Since, technically, tomorrow will be the day when the 30 is "under the belt"??? Or am I being insufferably nitpicky????

I'm thinking of doing some X-mas shopping today. Hoping to avoid the mall:egad:!!! But this year I will get it done before X-mas eve. I am soooo lazy!

Oh, I went ahead and filled in the drinktracker for Dec. I allowed moderation on X-mas eve, X-mas day and New Years eve. I probably won't drink at all, but we'll see.


Hope everyone is well and getting over their colds!!

OK, nit-picky Dingy - I think Technically you're right! Tomorrow will mean she's finished 30 days... I have this feeling she Won't blow it!!!

"Technically" I'm starting Day 4. Having a cold has helped me not want to drink... but I don't recommend it! Finally feeling better (so far) this morning.

Hope all you ODAT'ers have a Fantastic Wednesday!!

OK - so we'll hold off on the congrats thread until tomorrow.

BTW - has anyone seen capt around??




PS - I may have to change my avatar. That kid looks so much like my son that it's kind of creeping me out!

He's prob sleepin' in (the lazy bum! lol)!!

Hey - just went to that drink tracker for first time... sure seems user-unfriendly. I tried to put in my Nov. day when I was 0, but it wouldn't let me? So you can only put stats in for current month??

[dingbat]

ONE DAT AT A TIME Wednesday

Yep! I discovered that Monday! I was sooo upset!! I had all of those lovely little zeros and they were gone, baby, gone. So, I posted my 0 on the thread that day!!! I wonder if they couldn't change that? And have the previous month as well???

Hi guys -

Well I made it through another one - Day 9 today. Get through today and tomorrow and I have made my goal of double digits. Tonight may be difficult as BF is working and daughter is at her dads so I will be home alone - that is always a trigger for me. I'm thinking I might do some X'mas shopping after work, maybe go to the library, get a book, come home make some tea and have a hot bath and jump into bed before I get the chance to pour myself any type of AL......that's my plan anyway to get through today - they always say if you have a plan it makes it easier, right!

Hope everyone has a great day, I'll check in later.

Love and Hugs,
Uni

Yeah, uni! :yay: You can do one more day no matter what!

Yes, that's true about the 30 days! I did a 7 day AF once and goofed because I drank ON day 7 oops. Had to start over. ops:

I've never even been able to sign in to the Drinktracker. A few others have said that, too.

I'm glad your cold is better, savvy, it sounds like you had a bad one. Cramps are gone thanks to good 'ol black cohosh.

Thanksgiving decs are gone and out come the X-mas ones. We're determined to finally sort out the years of mess we've accumulated. This should be interesting. Since I've sobered up, it's amazing how much cleaner our house has been.

Have a great ODAT everyone and welcome again to all the new folks :l

Happy hump day! (Get yer mind outta the gutter!) :H

Busy, busy day here today - probably won't have much time to lurk around. Hope everyone is having a great day meeting goals and challenges!

Ugggh, did someone say Christmas shopping? About that time to start, huh? Yuck, I HATE shopping... I almost rather go to the dentist!

Happy Hump Day ODATers
GH-Great to see you!!!
Glad you are feeling better Savvy
Have not seen the Capt around. He sometimes does not check in for a couple of days. I'm sure he is fine.
I sure did not mean to stir up all of this controversy.lol. I did not get too excited about this being Day 30 because my last good run was 37 days and I am striving to beat that for now. I am pretty sure that I will make it AF until tomorrow. I just got home from work. I am going to sleep, hopefully, get to an AA meeting and then back to work.
You guys all sound wonderful and strong. We really are a good group.
I hope you all have a wonderful day. I am going to have my tea and crawl under my blankets. It is very cold this morning. Brrrr......

BML, glad u are feeling better too.
Sunshine-I loathe Christmas shopping too. I do most of my shopping online. I don't like to bring others down with me, but I really do not enjoy this holiday, especially when people are out killing each other in the stores. Commercialism has destroyed the spirit of the holiday for me. Enuff outta me. I go with the flow. I do enjoy baking and making candy for the holidays.

Good morning all! You all deserve congratulations for your AF days! Way to go! I gather a great deal of inspiration here and although I'm presently finding it hard to string more than 4 days AF together ... I feel I'm on the verge of a breakthrough. Going to be tough at this time of year.... actually who am I kidding ... it's tough all year long!
I also hate the Christmas shopping .... but what I hate even more is the Christmas card writing. I could do without that! I got started on the shopping yesterday ... but it was the easy ones ... one daughter gave me a very extensive list to choose from ... the other one.... well, only her "dream" gifts ... Tiffany's, Michael Kors bags, etc. ... and she's the one who really needs more basic things right now.

Going out for dinner tonight to a wonderful restaurant, but have to meet hubby and a friend there, so the fact that I have to drive will curtail my drinking. The police checks have increased now for the Christmas season and it's just not worth the risk. My niece is a police officer and she said if you say you've had "just one drink", they automatically assume you've had 2 or 3 (or more) and will test you.

Got a busy day, but will check in here later (especially after returning home from dinner when I'd usually pour myself a few ---- safely at home)

Have a great day everyone!

p.s. Even though I had a terrible night (couldn't fall asleep, even with a few sleep-aids) I still feel clear headed and more energetic after a wine induced sleep. So glad I fought off the urge last night!

You all sound great, just wanted to wish you all a wonderful day.

Christmas shopping Uuuugggghhh, so not into it. My son is 13, very hard and expensive age to buy for.

Day 3 for me! Yaay! But it occured to me, somehow I feel like I'm cheating by taking antabuse. I mean not really cause whatever it takes, and I feel great. But I am not following the MWO plan. The plan works, I just couldn't stick with it. Maybe I will go back to it after 30.

Anyhow, its a balmy 2 degrees here and I'm off to work.

Hugs to you all and stay strong ODATers!!!
