        Good day nesters. WHo is watiing on an answer from Hubby? hhhhhhmmmmmmmmmm..........I think that deserves a definite immediate answer. He has to ponder that question? Sorry, you didn't ask for my opinion.

        I hope Hippy and Star enjoyed my massage last night. I know I did.

        I hope everyone has a great NF day.

        Day 99 here.............just sayin'

                I was in a bit of a panic this morning when I couldn't get this site up. Glad it is back.....fighting off the "poor me poor me pour me" I don't want to pour me a glass of anything with alcohol but the craving is there for me today for some reason....well, I do know why. Extreme stress at work.....president of my co. wants my boss to start reporting to ME instead of the other way around. Waiting for him to email us his "plan". this will not work and will cause even more tension than there already is. Plus, you would think I would get some sort of compensation for him putting me through this....he is using me as his pawn to get my boss to quit. It sucks.:upset:
                I am trying to focus on being grateful that it isn't the other way around but this shit is hard to deal with nonetheless. Would love to just check out but that will help NOTHING.
                I just won't anymore

                  Are you so excited? 100 days tomorrow, I am really excited for you! I seriously can't wait to hit 100 days. I absolutely love counting my AF days as well as watching everyone else rack them up.

                    And for me, DAY 3 (!!!!Yippee!!!!) is coming to an end! The husband is away on business and rather than see it as an opportunity to drink, I've used it as an opportunity to say no.

                    I can't say it has been a walk in the park, but it has been a lot easier than I though it would be. Like other things I secretly dread, the anticipation of tonight (being AF) was worse than the reality (yep...AF!!!) I made it out of the shop with enough food to sink a ship (with only a couple of longing glances at the booze....damn them for keeping it behind the till!) and walked past two bars on my way home (impossible to avoid in small town Spain!).

                    Thanks for being there
                    Hey tulip - Day 4 here too - how are you doing?

                    Siren, Jenniech and Dottie - I know the angst of uncertainity and being "in limbo" for eons. Difficult to think of as an opportunity - but I truly believe that when one door closes, another one opens to a better place.
                    10/14/13: I am truly grateful for another day in this amazing life. I'm sober and mindful of every moment.

                        thanks to Fallen Angel for posting this on the Daily Inspiration thread. Hope no one minds my posting it here.

                        Be Good To Your Future

                        Be good to your future. Live with purpose, integrity and discipline in the present.

                        Now is the perfect time to avoid future regrets. Now is the ideal time to create massive future value.

                        Today, you have great leverage over how your life will be tomorrow. Use that leverage in such a way that you?ll look back on your choices with gratitude and satisfaction.

                        What you do right now has a significant influence far into the future. Feel that awesome power and exercise it wisely.

                        Never forget that all your actions have very real consequences. Today you can choose the actions that bring the best, most desirable consequences.

                        Be good to yourself by being good to your future. Use your choices right now to choose a future that?s just the way you?d like it to be.
