Fellow nesters,
Its a boozy long weekend here in canada. Been struggling a bit, too much too soon. Tomorrow is day 15 and more holiday festivities. I think I need to lock myself at home and let the storm pass All cuddled up on the couch tonight with my camomile tea, puppy and computer. :heart::heart::heart:

I'm just checking in before I hit the hay. I went to my church this morning on my Day 3 and it was wonderful to not be hung over! Went to my parents this afternoon and again....Great not to be hung over!! I feel pretty good today. Had a few moments, but have felt pretty strong today! I know tough times are ahead, but I can only do anything about today; right now. Hope everyone has had a great AF day.

Struggling is OK when you succeed - it makes you even stronger! The good news is, it gets easier with time and practice .

You seem to have a lot of holidays in Canada! Enjoy another AF celebration (of ???) !

Good night nesters! Celebrating Canada Day with the family. They're all hammered and I slinked off to bed. Earlier in the day I wanted to drink, but I had my plan in place (AF sangria) and as they got hammered I felt stronger and stronger. Had a really fun day until the really drunk drunks starting monopolizing the group. I can't handle watching my brother when he's that drunk. Never could even when I was drinking but it's way worse being sober and pretty much embarrassed by his behaviour. Please tell me I wasn't that obnoxious.

NS in Canada we have 10 STAT holidays. March June and November are the only months we don't have one!

When we're down on ourselves, we put up with a lot of grief from others and then try to drink away the bad feelings.

Being angry about these things means you know you don't deserve to be treated this way. This probably doesn't seem like progress but in some ways, I think it is.

Stay as strong as you've been, Halo. You've regained your self-respect and that is the most important opinion of all .

Good morning Nesters,

I hope everyone survived the night! It's as soggy as can be here on the East coast - rain, rain & more rain I'm afraid
Very sad news about the loss of 19 young firefighters in Arizona last night. That hits very close to me as my son is a firefighter as well. My heart & prayers go out to all those families.

Wishing everyone a strong & AF Monday!

I'm headed to work on Day 4. In some ways I am already feeling better, but feeling very tired and a little nauseated. I know it's early, but I can't wait to shake the fog. I didn't sleep well last night at all and when I did, had lots of weird dreams!

Anyway, I'm going to stay focused and I'm praying for us all today. Hope everyone has a great AF day!
