Welcome GG :welcome: good job on your AF time!

Welcome llsadas :welcome: There is more to this sobriety than just not drinking. You also have to work at changing your attitude and the way you think about AL. You need to end your love affair with AL. there is a toolbox thread in the monthly abstanience section full of great information.

Welcome 3-F's :welcome: This getting sober really is a lot of work and there really is no magic pill. The antabus could be a great tool to help you stay sober and get your mind clear. But you have to have 2 or 3 days AF before you can start taking them and you have to do that yourself. You will find all kinds of support here.

Good morning birds,

Papa R-Sorry about work. You have a tough job with even tougher hours. Even you are allowed to vent sometimes! I love your cats name. I have 4 cats-Haley, Murphy, Stray Cat and Marley.

Ok everyone-wakey, wakey. How many of you birds had to change your clocks?

Coffees on!!

*jump* jump* It's 8pm and Betty's still bouncy! But still busy Hello to all nesters 'experienced' and newbies alike. I hope the way I'm feeling carries on - it's like someone flicked a switch.......

Have to go and do more clearing, tidying and sorting, because apparently we're throwing a bbq for some VIP's on Tues..........(but only DH's work colleagues really). Most of them know I'm slightly slovenly, but apparently I have to make an effort for the ones I haven't met. Hmmmmph.

For those of you who still have most of Sunday to go - take care and have a great day.

Bxx

Renewal, I'm glad Gilligan gave you a proper greeting! He represents all of us in welcoming you home. However,I don't know why so many birds would have cats for pets! My cat's names: Glubby and Capone. They are not fond of each other. They have agreed to disagree in peace.
This must be the day for pet names. My dogs are Kela and Gypsy. Anybody else want to share?
Well, off to Church with me! Thanks for the coffee, Lil. I'll pick up some donuts on my way home.

Hi, Betty, Cross-posted! Good to see you with so much energy and joy! Day 28 for you?

Happy Sunday!

*stretch* Who screwed with my clock? :H

Good morning nestlings!

Oh, PR - I'm thinking that a 'good' day at your kinda work would be more than I can handle - I can't imagine what a bad day must be like! :l Glad you made it home safe and sound.

I might try to get in an hour of work and then off to the barn Let's put some miles on some horses! Yippeee!

Hello Betty - glad to see you so bouncy - but... could you keep it down a LITTLE?! I saw Papa almost roll out of nest, just now.

Lilmea... LOL.. I like 'stray cat'... ummm.... what happened? The naming fairy was away that day? :H

Hi Dillster! Watch Capone's tax return closely... wouldn't want to get him impounded!

I only got the pooch with me here, Shelby. A 9-year old Collie/Chow cross from the pound. The poor guy was at the pound THREE times (over 5 months when I adopted him). He definitely had some issues the first year, but with some patience and TLC he's come around beautifully. Sophie, the 32 year old (33 this year, oh gosh) wonder mare is an Arab/x and will be joining me on the island once the ferry runs. Arabian and donkey, is what I think most days... stubborn old fart! :H

Well, enough dilly-dallying (no offense, dillie) - off I go! Happy Sunday to all!

Well, bidding all you cherubs a peaceful night and wonderful start to your week.

Won't be going to school tomorrow...to the doctors with my son! Do you think most people just deal better with 'drama' or this is what drives 'us' to drink????? Honestly...I feel it's all this probably everyday crap sometimes I can't handle. Why is that?? Someday seems better than others???? I don't get it. grrr.....

Good morning, nesters! Hey, SDL, thanks for setting out the cups last night. I've got the coffee on. This time change is messing with my brain. The clock says it's 6:30 am, but my body says it's 5:30 am. Ugghhh. I'm having a hard time waking up. I made the coffee extra strong.

Morning chirpers,

Dill-Thanks for starting the coffee. I woke up at 4:00 really 3:00 and said "NO WAY!" And went back to bed. Slept until 7:00 which was really 6:00. Geezz. I don't care much for the time change. I'm confused enough!

SD-Warm cookies. Yummm. Everyone knows that there are no calories in the food in the nest so I'm going to have two. Sd-I think there is a little bit of the drama queen in all of us. Nature of the beast. I still have things going on but I'm learning to deal with them a little more calmly now. Lots of deep breaths.

Papa R-We know you have long hours on the week ends so we do try to keep the noise down alittle. Are you proud of us? We luvs you. :h

Where's everbody? Is everyone running late this morning? Well hope all you birdest have a great day.
