    One Day At A Time Thursday (ODAT)

    Good morning ODATers!

    Well the rain held off enough for there to be some snow outside. It still looks pretty.

    We are having family over at 2pm and I've had a stomachache for 2 days. To be honest, it just feels like I need to get a good 'ol :fart: out and it's stuck! Sorry if I offended anyone but I'm sick of it.

    I'm not too worried in the way of drinking because my BIL has already showed up (like, at 11am) with his special "tea". This is, basically, vodka. It's turns me off so much that I'm not even tempted.

    Hope everyone has a great day, I'll be on and off today. Maybe come in here for some solice :H

    Hi Be and everyone,
    Sorry to hear about your BIL. Yucko on the "tea." Hope you feel better!

      Hi Be - sorry about BIL but at least you are turned off and have no desires. That's a good thing. Sorry about the f**t thing too. Senna is my friend. Hope you have a good day otherwise. At least AL is not calling your name. That is a good feeling in itself.

      Hi CS04 - have fun at the inlaws. hope it is a great day for you.

      In laws are here. They don't drink which is good. I am trying to cut calories (sort of) but decided to treat myself to orange juice and cranberry coctail without the vodka. Didn't even miss the vodka! It's delicious! Day 10 for me. Loving the sober life thus far. Hubby is so proud. I got up, actually video'd, took pictures, got everything on tape, made huge breakfast, now starting on lunch, instead of walking around w/ drink, hungover, and trying to pretend I'm happy while secretly p/o'd and wish everyone would leave so I could drink alone. That's how I remember it. I am actually engaged in my own life! What a treat for once!

      Back downstairs to be with my family! And looking forward to it. Merry Christmas to all! Good luck meeting your goals. I know some people are really struggling and i want to say to them that you are not alone, we all have good days and bad days. I have had my share of bad bad days. Come here and visit and maybe we can help. Hugs to all!

        Well I blew it after only 10 days AF. I had lots of beer, I wasn't drunk in front of the kids, it took so long to get drunk that I was just basically bored. I am glad that it happened in one way, because is was such a boring experience, no fun whatsoever. So now that I know that I am not missing anything. And I can carry one with my life. It is the day after Christmas now, I have a mild hangover but I am feeling very positive about the future. I know that I can do it. Happy Christmas to all and I hope that you guys were stronger than me and resisted.

          Well its Boxing Day and my husband is still in shock - No AL on Christmas Day. Christmas was at our place this year and everyone commented what a great day it was. My SIL said it was just great cause no-one was out to get plastered on the day (I think she was referring to me). I didn't tell anyone and had a couple of non alcoholic wines through the day & evening. Don't worry Ezz it sounds like you are stronger for the experience, its all about setting yourself achievable goals I believe. "Small steps".
          Bridget - I'm with you, Christmas without a hangover is awesome and the day is so much more meaningful with family and friends with a clear head.
          Hi CS04
          Hope your problem resolves itself soon Be.

          Thanks to all on the Forum as I couldn't have done Christmas alone.
          :thanks: AF since 13/12/2008

            I did slip up yesterday, I'm afraid. Not very proud of myself, but it wasn't fun and my resolve has just become firmer.

            What took me by surprise was the knowledge that my mother had beer in her fridge. Once the thought of that beer entered my mind, it just just stayed and stayed and stayed..
            I am trying to think what I could have done differently.

            It's the start of a new day now and the chance to get up and start again..
