MAE Nesters!

Coffee? It really does taste that much better when you don't try to chase away a hangover with it!!



I see a gardening day in my Saturday - if anybody wants to come and keep me company, hop on over.

Have a lovely Saturday - and keep it AF, won't you? If you start to feel a bit wonky and find your thoughts going the wrong way, pop in here - there will be somebody to help you with the butt velcro.

oh my goodness! What a wonderful day of posts here in the nest! So much of what was said and replied to.. also applied to me. Thanks so much you all!

I'm actually thinking Sunday might be a good "AF day 1" for me. I know I know.. no day is better than the present day, but it's an initial goal anyway. I'd like to hope I can at least commit to that. Saturday I think I just need to spend the entire day re-reading the toolbox.

Sarah - :yay: :yay: :yay:

Saturday would have been better, but stick to your plan of re-reading the Toolbox and then jump in on Sunday. I promise you, this is one thing you will never ever EVER regret doing!!!!!

Change "I'd like to hope I can at least commit to that" to "I will commit to Sunday." Short, sweet, to the point.

Happy 21st Petrel, proud of your achievement and your possitivity in your plan of going af even if for three months but you do get to be quite comfortable in not drinking.

My son left an empty bottle of southern comfort on the table and i thought mmm maybe a drink would be nice and im like wtf i dont even like that drink so i quite happily put the bottle in the bin.

it is absolutely torrentially pouring here and love it except my car window is down and i cant go outside and close it. oh well, the inside needed a wash obviously. It has been so dry so its nice to have some rain and gives me an excuse to be lazy not that i need an excuse.

I hope you stick to your plan sarah and wishing you the best of luck, though you dont need luck just determination in not drinking.

MWO has been unbelievable in loading and posting atm, very frustrating i must say.

Thanks Ava and Jane.

It's only the end of day 20, but thank you. Feeling good about AF even if I have other issues to deal with ATM. AF makes all of that easier.

Thanks all!

Oops trust us alkies to want to party before the actual day is all i will say about that.

Af makes everything better Petrel, bloody everything. I'm watching Independence Day and for the life of me i have watched it before and am sure they have added new bits that i did not remember before. Another movie watched drinking and not remembering.

Ava, I can so relate. Watching transformer series with my youngest son. Lots I don't recall because I was obviously too drunk. Yet another reason to go beyond 3 months.

That or bored senseless watching it haha. Its great to hear that you are going to go beyond 3 months. No point in going back to where you were and having to start again. I looked on the date/time dooby and i have done 15 weeks, unbelievable really and now that is the way i keep count but i still need to see what i have achieved. Now if i can only learn to get a decent sleep pattern my life will be complete.

Face your day fearlessly, stick to your plan & you will have no regrets, promise
Wishing everyone a great AF Saturday!

Ava, for what it's worth, hard workouts/exercise have done wonders for my sleep. I highly recommend it. So many other health and psychological benefits too. I think the trick is to find an activity that you really like. Running works for me.

Well since it is your 21 days tomorrow i will make it a mission to get off my butt and go for a walk for an hour and if it doesnt work, i wont be happy haha. I used to love walking but just cant seem to get my A into G for some reason.
