What a wonderful Gwawky Morning (MAE) it is!
Guess what's for breakfast, DO? Freshly brewed coffee and leftover Pumpkin Pie! and I made some delicious granola bars with dates, roasted nuts and oats, dried cranberries, peanut butter.. I ate almost all of them but saved a couple for this morning. Oh and Vanilla protein smoothies with almond milk, frozen banana and blueberries for Steadfast!

Cat, Congrats on 60 days yesterday!! You are sounding great..:goodjob:

and Dottie, I know you're as excited as I am at reaching this 90 day milestone! I never could have imagined (and wouldn't have dared to jinx myself!) 90 days ago that I could do this-- but one day at a time, it has happened. The support I have found here, checking in each and every day, fighting the fight when necessary and NOT picking up a drink no matter what and no matter who is saving my life!! Thank you all for being here..:h

Now as usual, I have to run off to work! See you later..xo

Goodness, LC, you beat me to it again! Thanks for the coffee, and the pumpkin pie. I see lots of leftover turkey and green bean casserole and and and and for breakfast - you fill in the blanks.

I hope everybody had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Just have a look at all these round figures, Nesters:
Lifechange 90 days
Dottie 90 days
Dryer 80 days
Myluck 40 days
Rooni 20 days
Sam 200 days - he can now post twice on the 100 day thread!
Impressive, hey?

Hugs and congratulations to everybody who had an AF Thanksgiving. And if you didn't: there's a ladder right next to the wagon, climb back up on it right now, ok?

Have a wonderful AF Friday, everybody!

Thank you to people who actually remembered me. That's humbling. I am sorry I didn't wish people a Happy Thanksgiving. I'm not up to doing much at the moment. Yes, I do definitely intend to make the most of the silent passing of these seven days, and build on it. I don't want to go back to how I was. I'm not well enough to leave the house at the moment and I hope once I start feeling better I will still find my resolve in there.

I'm so happy, it's SEVEN days! I can't remember the last time, maybe as I'm not well but it's quite a long while I think. But whenever it was really doesn't matter, the main thing is I've done it now! Really pleased! Moss, I will answer your pm when I'm back on my feet.

Happy weekend to all

Morning, Nesters!
SixtyFour! GREAT JOB on 7 days!!! (Take them however you can get them!) Around here, we reward those kinds of achievements! Nesters, please join me in dropping your pants for a full moon!!

:moon:

You've conquered every day that a week can throw at you and won!! (including a weekend!) So with this kind of confidence under your belt, onwards and upwards!! We are proud of you, too!!! Keep up the great work, we're all right here with you!

Dot Belle and Lifechange, your 90 days is something else, too! I hope you got your tiaras over on the roll call, but here they are again!
:crowned: :crowned:

10 more days and you'll hit the lifetime achievement award! (that's what I consider 100 days....I really felt as if I had made it at that point!) Lifechange and Dot, you have checked in every single day and helped countless other people thru the first challenging days. You greet new folks when they come in to the site....MWO is really a better place because of folks like you!

To all the folks racking up big days, keep it up! I was thinking this morning that I have never seen ONE SINGLE person here return to drinking that didn't regret it. Amazing...NOT ONE SINGLE PERSON!!! Now those are odds that I pay attention to! Protect your quit with all you've got!! Like Lil Beagle said, "protect it like it was a little baby!". It is a new life!

Hugs to all today! Byrdie

MAE all,
Thanks so much for the lovely award and kind words from everyone. This place has truly been a life saver. I enjoy reading all the posts and helping where/when I can..this has not been easy but so worth it. I can look in the mirror and see ME....not the bleary eyed half asleep old me...I am so glad I found this place.
Now onward to the huge 100...LC we can do this!!!

MAE Nesters!

Goodness, but the Nest is quiet tonight - just look at Dottie's post time and mine! Is everybody still eating T'giving leftovers?

I was reading one of the other threads earlier today and somebody mentioned that old connection between Friday evenings and having something to drink, when a thunderbolt hit me: I had never even thought of having a drink tonight. Very proud of myself!

Have a lovely AF Friday evening, everybody (or what's left of it). I'm in Saturday already!

Good "morning" DTD !

Usually I read the exchanges and breakfast plans of you and Lifechange first thing in the morning and they brighten my day!

Speaking of her, Congratulations on 90 days to Lifechange :goodjob: and Dottie :goodjob:, 2 committed nest dwellers who have been so encouraging to everyone!!! :l. Hope you stick around even after you're old, 100-day ladies very soon.

I hope everyone had a Thanksgiving they can always remember with pride. But if you didn't, please come right back and get plans in place to finish 2013 strong and AF. You'll always be glad you did it.

Good evening Nesters,

Quiet day - a turkey coma is going around I guess :H :H

I've been busy taking care of small things, nothing major & staying out of trouble
I hope everyone has a safe & cozy night in the nest!

Happy Saturday morning everyone!

Congratulations LifeChange and Dottie on your 90 days! :goodjob:

And thanks for the smoothie idea, LifeChange, must try that one!

Last night i looked at the "My Story" thread for the first time; thankyou to the individuals who shared their story :thanks: I would try and write my own, but it would be hard to condense it down, and it would end up long and boring!

Make good weekend plans and enjoy sticking to them

love,
Steady

K9, just heard a death metal version of Banana Phone and thought of you because you posted that link a few pages back. :bananacomputer:

MAE all! Nighttime for me. Staying up late listening to Internet radio and trying to make headway on my collection. Figured I'd check in and see how everyone was doing.
