I GIVE UP! I think I need a drink!

just jokin

You gave up drinkin'....remember?

I use the "attachment" button at the top (the paper clip), then it asks you where you want to get the picture from, select the location on your computer then push "upload". That's what I did...and it took me a long time to figure out too!

Someone please post a picture of their dog with bigger eyes than my dog has, she's starting to feel self conscious :shocked:

Rainy, if you have the photo in your photo bucket, then over to the right side of the page, there are some choices about which link you want to copy. Do you see those?

[Starfish1]

Newbies Nest

Not the one at the top of the page, I was trying to do that too.

My three "babies" over the summer with my parent's dog, Bailey.

I don't have a really good picture of all three of them together.

But it's better than dogs with bulging eyes.

LMAO over that...

Newbies Nest

Well that sure looks like a good picture of the three of them to me!!! And Bailey looks great too, but he wants a retake cause his eyes are CLOSED!

HOLY SMOKES Star! That dog is so ugly he's adorable. He must be the "new" world's ugliest dog...the previous one died not too long ago. Although I must say, he's really not that ugly (hey, I think potato bugs are cute....)

30 Day Goal

Hello Dear Nest Friends,

I've been reading this morning's posts about what to do once we have reached our 30 Days AF goal.

I discovered the MWO site on December 31, 2012. I was searching desperately for a solution to my problem with alcoholism. I started to post on Newbies Nest without reading the "instruction manual." Thus, I did not realize that the initial goal was 30 days of sobriety.

I was dying. Medical complications from alcohol were going to kill me or, being utterly and totally hopeless, I was going to kill myself. Either way, I was going to die.

So... the only goal that I had was to stop drinking altogether. Period. I cannot take one drink without needing another and then another. I am an alcoholic.

I wasn't aware of the Newbies Nest goal of 30 sober days until about a week ago. For me, there is no question of what to do at 30 AF days. I have two choices: 1) Stay sober and live -- or -- 2) Drink alcohol and die.

I am on AF Day 24. Do I miss alcohol? Yes and No. I still have cravings and I believe that the crap is still in my body on a cellular level. So yes, I miss alcohol on a physical level. Do I miss the sneaking and lying and giving five years of my life over to alcohol? No, I do not.

Would a person on their death bed be grateful for the opportunity to live five more years? And not just any five years, but five vibrant and youthful years? Yes, I can assure that a person on their death bed would be happy beyond belief to have five young and healthy years yet to live. That is what I gave away to alcohol.

To give up alcohol is a loss. And as with any loss there is a grieving process. Sometimes I cry. Sometimes I feel angry. Sometimes I pout. "Life is not fair!!" I shout.

So... for me, I do not have the mindset of: What am I going to do once I reach my goal? (For once, not reading the instruction manual is paying off!) My goal is to live EVERY DAY for the rest of my life in freedom from slavery to alcohol. I am a better, more honest, more productive, more interesting, more responsible, more helpful, AND more humorous person without the poison of alcohol in my brain. I have a chance at true happiness.

That's my two-cents worth!! :cents
