G'Mornin ODATers!

So I made "Day 1" yesterday. It seemed like a Long day...

I have to admit that I slept better last night (except for some weird dreams!).

I'm going to try to finish up some Christmas shopping today!

Hope all you w/that snow & ice are careful!!!

ODAT - Sunday

Well I have just finished my 7 AF, about to head to bed so the day is well and truly over. I don't know if this happens to other people, but I have eaten way too much food this weekend. I don't know if I am distracting myself from thinking about AL or if I just don't normally eat when I am bingeing on AL. Right now I feel like a stuffed foodie pig instead of my usual bloated boozy pig.

Have a good Sunday to all those that are just beginning the day and I hope you can remain strong.

Hi ODATers!

Savey - GREAT job! isn't it nice not to have a hangover? The wierd dreams have been something I have been experiencing also these past few nights (on day 6). I know Be had some bad ones. Hang in there. Hope you meet your goals today!

ezzmae- Congrats on 7 days!! The food thing goes with not drinking in my opinion. I have been eating too much also. This time of year the food is everywhere. I'm going to focus energies on not drinking for the next week and worry about food after Jan 1st when I start my new exercise program and dieting plan. Hopefully by then after a full 2 weeks I'll be a little more secure in my AFness (iff that's a word) and can focus on that.

Everyone have a great day and keep the faith. And remember to take it one day at a time.

Good Day all ODATers
Good job Savvy. Keep up the good work. Not much new here. I have to drive to work today through a raging blizzare, unless I can get another nurse who lives closer to work for me. My beloved New England Patriots will be playing in the snow today, which is an advantage for us because we are playing against Arizona. Today is 48 days for me. Had very strong cravings on Friday, but made it through. They do pass. Stay warm and safe today. Best wishes to all on achieving their goals for the day.

savvy, that's great on your day 1, it's the only way to start!

ezzy, super job on day 7! Stuffed is much better than bloated in my book, anyway. I hate bloated.

bridget, lovin' the day 6. I had more weird dreams but can't seem to remember them. I remember I was dreaming and knew I was dreaming and was talking in my dream and knew I was talking in my dream and ugh! Day 6 for me, too buddy!

More snow here. We're supposed to get another 3-6". The kids are off for 2 weeks for Christmas and I work out of my office at home. Hmmmmmm

I did a lot of Christmas shopping last night with my daughter at the mall and really enjoyed it. I think it's the first mall shopping I've done in a long time, without stress. I normallly do on-line shopping then last minute stressful store shopping. Much better this year.

Take care ODATers!

Hey - what's with all the weather out east!?! Really getting dumped on, aren't you?? I went out to start my van to go get my girl from the airport and it almost didn't start- it's -35C out there! Hope we don't break down on the way!
Not much luck on the AF front here, too many parties, one here at my house last night. However, I have those AF days looming in my future!! New year's resolutions - many of them - this year
Have a great day everyone. It's baking day for this cat!

Good Day all ODATer's
Yes, Peanut, we really are getting dumped on! Not sure that I'd trade for your bitter cold temps that you've been having all week though!

It is a hard time of year to try and go AF, and I'm sorry to say I didn't last night. I will try and get as many AF days as I can in between holiday celebrations. .... and then give the New Year a fresh start.

Congratulations to those that did have either a first, a 6th, 7th or 48th (wow, Sea ---- you're doing fantastic!).

Being a homebody today ... just finished clearing up the walk/driveway with hubby and then we went for a nice walk ... rather trudging through the snow. It was good exercise, but my back is a little sore now. Making some nice roasted butternut squash soup for dinner.

Have a wonderful day everyone!

Morning ODATers!

Great job Be, Sea, Bridget, Savvy & ezz! Sea - you're my hero... FORTY-EIGHT days???!! Awesome!

I totally agree about the food - I seem to be eating constantly, probably substituting?

Peanut, every AF day counts! Just keep adding them up, even if not in a row. And, my day is set aside for baking as well here!

Well, I knew there was going to be drinking last night (the end of day 4 for me) and I had 4 1/2 glasses of wine over 7 hours. Not bad; certainly no hang over today.

Back on the wagon today and would like to stay this way until Christmas day

Hi all ODAT'rs

Wow, lots of good news stories, from one day up to 48 days. Slowly but surely everyone is getting there ODAT. On Day 9 and have been extremely busy, took my all one but am slipping on taking the other supplements and I really do think they help with the cravings.

Most of the cleaning done, decorating the tree tonight. It has been up three days but the girls have just been too busy and are not here but they insist on doing it, teenagers!!!

Enjoy the rest of the week-end everyone.

Wow, everybody is doing great so glad to hear!!

I finished my Christmas shopping tonight and went out to buy our ham for Christmas dinner, the roads were a mess, glad I have 4 wheel drive.

29 days today, I had a dream last night that I blew it on 28, it was so real, I remember thinking what the hell I made it 28 days that's good enough and cracked open the beer, funny thing is I woke before I took a sip and was so thankful it was only a dream.

Will be watching Christmas movies tonight, love them. Have a great one everybody.

Hi 1967 ---- Nice to see you back! Yes, day 1 matters! You can't have a day 2, or 3 or 4, etc. without a day 1. I'm also on another day 1!

Let us know how you're getting on!
