Yo Fat fella. I'm still here. I was also wondering about you and the rest of the quads. I saw winterwalk's post on roll call today and send congrats to her. Haven't seen DD but think she's still around and I send her a warm quad :l. ~~ Glad to see you doing so well and the feeling of confidence is great! Great start to the year. Keep sitting through the bad moments and remember how great you feel after a proper sleep!!
~~ As for me I am more or less doing pretty well. Saw my doctor yesterday b/c of being so tired. I had stopped my blood pressure medication as I really don't need it when not drinking and he said my BP was fine and if I take the med for it and don't need it that it would make me feel lousy. Which I was. Spoke with him about heart skipping beats in a.m. when I drink and he said "that's what happens when you get older". Good incentive not to drink is that my BP makes my heart go crazy, ended up in ER once w/ Atrial Fib or atrial flutter (not sure which it was) and had to have my extremely rapid heart converted to normal w/ IV drugs. A-Fib/flutter is serious and yet I drank and took the BP med. Putting this in writing makes it clear how I have been playing Russian Roulette and how Alcohol can control you even in the face of a serious problem that can be avoided by simply not drinking. What a dope. ~~ Been off the med for 6 days and can begin to see a return of energy. Sleep is coming around and am beginning to remember dreams again which I think is a B vitamin issue. Looking forward to a sober spring. ~~ Anyway Fat fella keep on racking up the days and keep me posted. Looking forward to hearing from WW & DD. Best to everyone and like you, Fat fella, I appreciate all the advice & support found here.

MAE Nesters - and it's Hump Day!

Classic - hat day celebration - wonderful! Hope you and Ican always have the same number of days!

Seems that the Quads are doing well too - just wish DD would check in; the quartet plays a bit out of tune without her.

DipGal - hi from another procrastinator. Shall we swop tips on how to beat that problem later, like tomorrow or whenever? :H:H:H

Here's some cuppajoe to kickstart your day:


Have a lovely AF Wednesday, Nesters!

Way to go, iCan. We love a good 30-day speech around here. Congratulations, and great work. Keep it up. I particularly agree with this: your worse fears of isolation and rejection probably aren't true. Hear hear!

AClass! Hooray. We need another speech - from you. Congratulations on staying strong.

Cherokeer: One of my excuses for keeping drinking even after I knew I should stop was the fact that my “personality didn’t change.” I was a loving drunk (maybe a little TOO loving, in the sloppy “I love you guys” kind of way. My biggest personality change came in making plans that involved and revolved around drinking. I was crafty and it never seemed that was what I was doing, but I was. I think a lot of us kept it together pretty well, but it was only a matter of time before it got bad. Take a look at the four stages of alcoholism that Sam posted.

Way to go on Day 18 Quads – I think you are all present and accounted for which is an amazing thing. I hope you’ve started knitting those hats, Byrdie.

Glad to hear Gambler's doing well. We miss him!

I am checking in after a long day - so tired, and I am excited to go to bed and have a solid, sober sleep. Zzzz. Stay strong, everyone.
