      Hello Nesters

      I'm one of those lazy lumps alright Molly. Welcome Moana I really hope you achieve your goal of getting sober and staying that way - sober is so good.

      This weekend will be 11 weeks for me. So tonight being Fri night - big fancies. But have put tea in the oven and come on here drinking my ginger ale. Once dinner is over I'm fine.

      Sorry I haven't read back past this page. it is good to be back here. I hope you are all going strong.

          I joined this site ages ago but have never posted before - was supposed to do "dry july" and have totally failed but determined to go "dry august" starting today! the first AF Friday in a long long time. o yeah, go me! I like how there's lots of women here. Anyway I live in Sydney Australia and I'm here to get sober.
          Hey Moana - welcome! (I'm one of the friendly women here you referred to - even though I bear a striking resemblance to Pingu!!) - I'll try to do dry August with you!

            Good morning fluffy ones!

            Welcome Moana! I'll stick with you for a dry August! (I really do wish for some rain, though!) :H

            Mazzie! 'Bout time you poked yer beak in here again! Funny you say that about dinner... I'm the same way.

            I've had a real shitty tough day/night yesterday but made it through. I did some research and came on here instead - much better choice.

            Well, have a great Friday, everyone (well, you down underners are probably already into Saturday) - I'll try to check in tomorrow, probably after I get back from the show.

            :hallo:

              Hi everyone ....

              Sunni - before I forget....good luck at the show and have fun.

              Great for everyone doing so well. I'm doing much better but not AF. So, where does that leave me? I guess I need to decide what I want basically. Because if I can't moderate then I have to be AF. Oh well....I'm just so grateful to be coming out of the deep depression. I do go see my counselor again tomorrow. Second session. To be honest, I thought about cancelling. Still nervous but I know that I need this.

              Sorry - Welcome Moana! Forgot to say hi before I started rambling on. This is a great place. I don't always go on & on about myself. Oh wait! Yes I do. Anyway, glad to have you here.

              Ok folks - got to get to work.

              Coco - are you cooking this morning?

              Oh - Fennel sent me a great picture of her campfire last night. They must be having fun.

                Sure- I hope everyone likes fish. Kippers, krill cakes, bagels/lox and shrimp shakes. Oh, and coffee and diet cokes. Bon appetite!

                  Not to worry - we're all a little crazy around here (well, at least some of us. I guess I should just speak for myself!) - we've got a nice Taco Truck that comes by periodically with some quite ...ahem... 'exotic' dishes. But never fear - it's all just cyber food so just dig in!

                  When I first got here in February, Nora was in charge of the breakfast and it was always something very tasty and normal - coffee, bagels, yummy pastries, etc. But since the rest of us started taking turns things have gotten a bit out of hand!!!

                    Hi, this is my first post...I remember looking at this site a couple of months back, but I wasn't quite ready. But I bookmarked it, and here I am! I've been trying to sort out my relationship with alcohol for a few years now, tried cutting down, only drinking certain drinks, etc. But every now and again, I'd go land myself in trouble again. It's like every sign in my life is telling me I have to stop, that there aren't any half measures for me. What I find hardest is the reactions of people around me - close friends. So many people won't accept that I'm trying not to drink, and I find it tough to handle that pressure without caving in.

                      Welcome Neart, glad you came back to join us. Once alcohol starts causing trouble in our lives, either to ourselves or our loved ones, it is a prob and has to be dealt with.
                      A lot of people here have said how difficult they found dealing with drinking friends when they tried to give up - I certainly did, but being sober was/is the most important thing to me, so any friends that couldn't reconcile themselves with the fact I wasn't drinking I had to leave out of my life. As long as you are not drinking it is their problem, not yours.
                      Hope you stay around here:welcome:
