Hi all - dropped hubbie off at the airport this morning. Will be leaving work in an hour and a half. I didn't think I would be having a problem until the weekend. My mind is not in a good place tonight. I think I will be going to bed early. I am overly tired. I plan on putting in a sad movie and having a good cry. :upset: That should do the trick.

Catch you all from home..........

NoraC, I know I just saw some typing errors. You meant you were going home and putting on a happy movie and having a good laugh! Please take care of yourself. Eat a hot meal, get a hot bath and then watch that funny movie. I'll be back tonight to hear about it...

HI All,
Nora, Hope this post finds you engrossed in some kind of movie and taking care of yourself. Pings coming to you from NE to help you through this time of Hubby being away.
You are my inspiration you know-keep up the good work. thanks for asking about me-I didn't sleep well last nite-damn dogs got me up at 12 and 2am to go potty. Got a new alarm clock and thought I hit the snooze button but an hour and a half later realized I hadn't LOL!! Late for work but big boss out of town so it was OK. Very tired today from yesterday and no sleep. Even if I thought I wanted a drink I don't think I could stomach it. Does anyone else using the supplements find that they make you feel very full throughout the day? It's a good thing I think!!

Welcome Fairycake-if you can get at least the L-Glutamine and maybe some Calm Forte, I think they will really help you through the first week or so and I think you'll be very pleased with the results. Hang in there.

Katie B-good job with the AF! Did you win that lottery or hasn't it been run yet? Keep up the good work too.

Runningwind and Sophie- great ideas for Nora!

Hi Panno-nice to meet you

If I've missed anyone-please forgive me. I wish everyone a wonderful AF night and for those who suffered throught the monsoons this past weekend-hallaluia-the sun shines again!! What gorgeous weather today!! The boyz sure enjoyed their walk tonite in the sun and warmth!!

Good nite all!!

Hello Nesters - Thank you for your wonderful advice. I never had a chance to watch a movie. Hopefully tomorrow. I am so tired. I didn't sleep well at all last night and I think I'm going to be asleep by 8:00. I was thinking today that I might just blow the dust off that old log I had started when I first joined here and actually post some thoughts. I have a tendency to hold everything in and I think that helped get me to so deep into this alcoholic pit. Who knows.
Anyway....to tired to think about it now. :H

Have a wonderful night everyone or day.

Thank you for all the support.:l:l:l:l

Hey - cross post Lav......really??? You don't own any sad movies? I need to do that sometimes. Just curl up with a sad movie. Phenomenon. Titanic. Fiddler on the Roof.
I get out some good sobs and I am refreshed afterwards. I always said that I was weird.
I also own LOTS & LOTS of comedies.

Hi Everyone.

NoraC hang out here while your hubby's away. We'll read anything you want to write.

RW - the weather in Texas was great. All 60's and sunny.

Welcome Fairycake. Welcome back Canadiangirl.

KatieB hope you hit that lotto.

Lav - happy spring!

Hi Papmom. Some of the supps reduce carb cravings so that might reduce some of the hunger feelings. I'm always eating, so I couldn't tell you if hunger is reduced.

coconut - good story. I guess dogs learn fast huh.

I'm getting home kind of late tonight so time to get some sleep.

Take care everyone!

Hello All,

Nora - I cry at lots of movies. I can't even watch The Sound of Music without crying!

Half way through day 3 here. Daytime drinking has never been an issue for me. On holiday, I sometimes had a wine with lunch but found it made me too tired to enjoy the rest of the day. How come I learned that lesson pretty quickly but not the bigger one?

I have been to the gym this morning which always leaves me feeling positive. I have slightly changed my L-Glut timings and take the first one of the day just before the school run. That's when I would usually stop at the bottle shop. For me the witching "hour" is between about 6.00 pm and dinnertime. Once dinner is finished, things are calm in the house and the cravings have gone. I try and keep myself busy at this time - last night I was trying to do a crossword and cook dinner at the same time!

I am more determined than ever now. I really don't want to drink - it's soul destroying. I feel so happy now that I don't want to go back to that pit of despair.

Hope everyone has a wonderful AF Thursday. I'll check in later in the day.

xx

I've got one of those block desk calenders that has a quote for everyday of the year.

This is the quote for 17th March

"People who drink to drown their sorrows should be told that sorrows know how to swim."

How true.....

papmom3, hope the "Sleep-Fairy" comes to visit you tonight,so you can enjoy the great weather your having.

KatieB, wishing you the best on day 4 AF and will cross my fingers with the lotto. How much did you say you were going to send me? :H

Coco-Nut, Thanks for post on the Calm Forte. I'am going to check it out tomorrow.

Sopie75, that was so neat we were posting to NoraC at the same time, with basically the same thoughts.

TrankWilly, I'am glad my state of Texas treated you well and you take care too.

Lavende, Panno, Spam and canadiangirl I hope yall all had a great day!

Well tea time is calling, wishing you all a peaceful and safe night.

Good morning nesters - days starting off well here just hope I have the energy to carry on. I get so tired in the afternoons. Have got a really busy day preparing for a 2 day exhibition tomorrow and Saturday - I'm so way behind with all the hangovers and then the lack of concentration this past 3AF days, but as this is my 4AF day hopefully I should get through it ok. Nerves are riding high though all my promotional material was ordered late so am waiting for the deliveries - talk about cutting it fine!! Its days like this I get annoyed with myself for all the wasted days with hangovers because I hate being disorganised and being on the last minute!!

Nice to meet you too Papmom - animals really should come with a snooze button don't you think! I have 2 cats who wake me everymorning at 5.00am and won't go away until I get up and feed them - its quite sweet really because they stroke me on the cheek with their paws and lick my hands.

Hope you had a good nights sleep NoraC

Love the quote Spam - how true

Love to everybody else - have a good AF day/evening, keep busy and keep strong
