Happy Saturday Nesters. I'm off to do another living history event this morning. My "Doggers" know that somethings up and sit by the door with long faces. They love to go out and meet and great new people. It's such a pleasure to see how they put smiles on peoples faces, where ever we go. They are sorta goodwill ambassadors for the "Happy Tails" of the World. Today they will have to stay home. There's too much trouble they could get into at the event. There will be shooting of Brown Bess and Kentucky rifles. Abagail is gun shy and doesn't like loud noises. The other girls just take it in stride. I have the weaving looms packed. So I guess I shall weaving and others shall make loud noises with flintlocks. Hopefully the public will enjoy them both! I am living proof that life can be fun on the other side of the bottle and gladly cheer others on to join me in a life of sobriety! :yougo:inkele::yougo:inkele::yougo:inkele: Enjoy today and don't forget to be kind. It costs nothing but is priceless!

Goooooood Morning Nest!

So lovely to wake up unhung and refreshed. I love a sober Saturday!
I am cleaning and doing homework today. I will probably procrastinate about the homework and watch "Lie to Me" on Netflix until I absolutely have to finish my paper. But hey, I'm being honest! lol
Does anyone want to do my homework for me? I kid...sorta

Yeah, it's extra good on the weekends.. You know 50% are in bed until 14:00 and start their day with an hour in the toilet! While you enjoy tea in morning, and relax.. hot bath, shopping etc. AND feel great!

WAY TO GO SLAY!!

Slay has 30 days AF TODAY!

You have contributed so much to NN and MWO in general on such a variety of topics, Slay.
I've learned from you and you've given me so many things to think about.

It has helped to have someone at the same stage as a daily reminder that this CAN BE DONE.

My overall goal is Forever but for now, am looking forward to taking the next 30 steps with you!
You mentioned that you have some big challenges during this time -- Please let us help you if we can.

CONGRATULATIONS!!

DD.....I surely don't miss the countless hours wasted away nursing hangovers, that's for sure. :H

So, I am striving for some peace and temperance....I can't keep going through my days so tired! We all know what that could lead to.....Luckily, today is Saturday so I don't have to work. this means I can take a nice long nap this afternoon!!!! (that's another thing, when I was drinking, I couldn't take naps for the life of me no matter how hungover I was....but sober, I can shut my eyes and doze off peacefully and wake refreshed....)
So, off to get my first cup of coffee!!
Have a great Saturday everyone

I agree, Jennie! I've never taken it but I kind of feel like I think speed must feel like.
ZOOM ZOOM ZOOM!!
After slipping into a pattern of doin' nuthin' most of the evening and drifting off to bed,
I'm enjoying staying up late, reading, and still being raring to go early the next morning (like I was my entire life before I allowed AL in).

It is 8 a.m. here and I've been up for a couple of hours. What a fine Saturday!!

To the new people, please make yourself a plan and DO IT. Feeling alive again is worth whatever you have to go through to get AL out of your system!

Happy AF day to all in the nest.

I have to do a 20 page power point on a healthcare issue in my community.
I don't know if I am doing it on the flu, or maybe addiction! Or maybe obesity....idk

I like the idea of writing a paper on addiction. I think it is something that is so looked over, and "stigmatized". Like all addicts are bad people....we know better than that.:H you have all the tools at your finger tips and I am sure you would get an outpouring of happy helpers!
