ODAT Monday

Hi all ODATers
Work has been very stressful. I am happy to be off tonight, but only one night off, so lots to do; grocery shopping, errands, phone calls, bills to pay etc....
Hopefully, I will get to an AA meeting tonight. I am starting on Chantix today, and hope to get off the smokes on Jan. 13. Cheech, we have at least one thread going for those trying to quit cigarettes. Check it out. Have a great day all.

ODAT Monday

I just spoke to Bessie - she's doing well just crazy busy!! She says hi to everyone. She's going to try to get on to touch base soon.

But she's thinking of all of us!

ODAT Monday

Doing day 5 today. One of my favorite parts of the days are when I realize I have not been thinking about AL or having a drink-it's not that often but I am happy when it happens

ODAT Monday

Uni --- glad to hear Bessie is fine .. thanks for passing that on.

Stop--- day 5 here too, but there's very few minutes in the day that I'm not thinking of AL ---- particularly right now .... dinner prep time! And I've never gotten a full 5 days in before.

I'm going to mix myself something (grapefruit, soda and grenedine) just to have that glass in my hand! Tonight could be tough, but I REALLY want this!

On and Off Again but gonna keep trying

Well got 4 days up went out on a date and drank, gotta another 4 days and then xmas so what the hell, few more days and it'll be my last new year with a drink so what the hell. And then i was back on the treadmill and it was i'll just drink to come down slowly and stop.

Well for me that doesn't work I think my only way out is to work at this one day at a time and accept that i can't do this alone and that my old ways don't work.

Feel really useless - no job and don't feel capable of working.

Isn't it daft that despite knowing how painful it is to detox we keep doing it to ourselves.

Going back to AA and post here and get the help i need.

7 more hours and I'll one day AF - right now one hour at a time.

tomorrow is day 12!!

doing pretty good. today i thought of AL a bunch.You know you have issues when AL is one of the 1st thoughts in your mind whether it is "hummm am i going to get to drink tonight?" or what i have been going through the last two weeks "wow, what day is today? (number wise) I will not drink today!!" i just hope i shed some pounds soon since i am not drinking all of those calories. i know i have been eating a little more just to suffice that deep down yurning but have never had food issues so i know that will subside with time. well i had not posted in a couple of days so i just needed to get back on track......feeling great and AF SINCE DECEMBER 25th 2008
