Newbies Nest

[Guitarista]

The key to this quit has been patience, gratitude and living in the present. Yesterday and tomorrow are out of my hands. I am getting to know who I am, what it is that I want, realizing my dreams and creating a life for myself that can healthily embrace all that I deserve.

Living in the present is underrated! Right on LS. Congrat's on 37 days. Thanks for your post.

Good evening Nesters,

Byrdie, you are an artist
Very nice looking cookies there!!!

Awesome on your 37 days LS!
Isn't it wonderful to be able to recreate yourself?

Pav, glad you're home safe & sound.

Lil, I'll have to save that picture for my granddaughter - it's all of her favorites wrapped into one Don't work yourself too hard now!

Mr G, remember when it was cool to say 'If it feels good do it'?
Just keep doing it!!!!

Wishing everyone a safe & peaceful night in the nest.

Wow Byrdie, I didn't think they were cookies at first. Beautiful. If you don't mind sharing secrets, what do you use to transpose the pictures onto the cookies. Where do the pix come from? Absolutely beautiful! Just think what you could have gotten done if you'd been drinking...absolutely nothing!

Hugs,
Addy

Hello Everyone,

Hope everyone had a good weekend. I am doing good on my AF day counts (Day 19 as of today), however I am dealing with a very CRAZY roommate and it has created alot of anxiety in my living situation. The good news is that it's not triggering me to drink but wow this woman is soooo controlling and a drinker to add the cherry to the dysfunctional sundae. Sad to say, that I am stuck here until I can afford to move out which I am hoping by the early next year. I wanted so bad to catch up on the posts but due to this situation, I was just exhausted and went to bed early Friday and Saturday. I did manage a four mile run on Saturday morning and I am so grateful to not be drinking and I look forward to celebrating days, months, years and eternity being AF. I am also very aware there will be easy days and there will be "think drink" moments and that's when I need to be honest. To know MY TRUTH with alcohol, it's just not worth it.

Anywho, hope everyone is doing well and for those of you who are having a hard time, keep posting as much as you can and know that you have alot of MWO support. Thank you guys for reading my posts and I do enjoying reading yours when time permits.

Have a great week and lots of hugs. I will check back later this week.

:yay::yay: it's holiday season!!!!


Hugs,
Janet
AF Day 19

I'm curious ... who is Mollyka?

I'm curious ... who is Mollyka?

She is a tall, dark, somewhat mysterious and racy treasure from the Emerald Isle.

Edit: Janet. That sounds tough going. I would have to get out of there asap. All the best with it. Fab going on 19 days AF.

[Guitarista]

know what? This is truly a wwird place and i don't intend to stick around,. if anybody here is real, my best to you. otherwise, my best to you ....

Hi IDM. What's up? I apologise if I was too flippant with my reply to your question. It's an accurate reply though. G

[available]

You nailed what Molly is Mr G so no apologies needed. She is a wonderful soul who has helped many people along the way. She has not drank for many many years and is real as you and I and everyone on MWO. We are all entitled to opinions but being tactful and nice is a necessity in cyberland. There is enough animosity in the meds threads without bringing them to the nest.

[Guitarista]

I'm sorry you think that IDM. My apologies for my flippancy. No offense to you intended.

Just take care of yourself.

[starty]

Many of the people on this site are the most real people I have ever met and chatted to. I have met Molly and she is defo real. I have spoken to Mr G on the telephone and he is defo real. Sometimes the written word can come across wrong but don't let that sway any support that you may find on this site Idefineme. Humour is sometimes the best medicine for our battle and Mr G is right, she is tall, mysterious and very very lovely.

Morning all nesters I hope you all have a fab day/evening or whatever time it is in your neck of the woods.

and take it all with a grain of salt, so to speak.
look for the positive & insightful comments that are going to motivate, not derail, your efforts.
if you find a thread/post obnoxious or offensive do not encourage it further with a reply. (I am making an effort to do this in my life period. If there is someone that 'winds me up' then I have to remember to walk away.)
Head for greener pastures, be selfish, it really is all about you in the end!! Because somebody writes something obnoxious they don't care if it leads to you drinking again. This kind of person might even be a bit gleeful if you do it! "See you failed, haha."
That isn't why we come to this site.
