Newbies Nest
Hi All!
Again, well done ScottishLass for sticking to your AF guns in Vegas of all places. Yeah, I would have about 3 glasses of wine on the plane...no problem. And when you think about how a plane trip dehydrates you in the first place, no wonder I always felt like crap after landing! Adding fuel to the fire!
Witchy, way to go on marching right past the wine section at the supermarket. You must feel so much better for it today! Here, we don't have wine in the food stores...we only have separate liquor stores in most parts of our state. Bordering New Hampshire and Maine do offer AL in grocery stores. My mom moved here from Maine and being the wino that she is, still complains that the super markets do not sell wine in MA. Oh well! It's good for me that they don't! Less temptation!
Barbara1234, it's so nice to have you on board with your positive posts and gracious support every day. You are racking up quite a few AF days yourself and should be proud as can be. We love you!
TDN, how are you? Are you joining AA this week with all of the goings on with the DUI? Keep in touch, we are here to help you through thick and thin.
Natilie! A girl after my own heart with the dolphin avatar....I LOVE DOLPHINS! My dream is to swim with them in the wild...not a dolphin tourist center. Welcome to the Nest, I hope you stay for a while. Sorry about the woes with hubby...things do get better the more AF days you add to your journey. I am at the beginning too with 8 days today!
Speaking of 8 days, for some reason, I woke up this am feeling hungover...huh? All the other mornings this week I have been bright eyed and busy tailed. Not sure if I am just coming down with something or over exerted myself yesterday or plain and simple PMS crapola. But I feel dehydrated, bloated and headachy! I had a nice bath last night and then read some articles on detox and alcoholism, which left me feeling good that I had made the choice to get and stay sober. After reading what I read (I may post of some of this stuff later), it pretty much made up my mind that I will not go back to drinking. Even the smallest amount of booze (2 glasses a day) will reek havoc on your liver and every organ in your body. This article states: Alcohol goes everywhere in your body that water does. Meaning, it affects all of our organs, not just the liver. Think about it...brain damage, heart disease, kidney problems, skin conditions. You name it, AL could be the cause. Aside from the severe damage it does to our liver! Anyway, enough of that soap box but I do think it is worth revisiting the physical ailements AL causes when we get sober enough to think that it is ok to just have one...
Back to my headache...I think I just worked too hard and too long outside in the yard yesterday in the blazing sun and didn't drink enough water until later in the day. Also on the verge of good old monthly visit so that could make me more suseptible to feeling crappy. Other than that, I slept like a baby and haven't had a drop of AL since last Wednesday. So here's to a week!
Well, long post but wanted to get that all out! Hi to Lav and all others reading. Hope you have a wonderful Thursday morning or evening, depending on what time of the day it is in your neck of the woods.
PS...Hubs and I are looking at a house tonight...I am excited. We have a lovely one bedroom condo which we have been at for about 6 years. It is on a busy street and amongst apartment houses with some not so classy folks let's just say, in our neighborhood. It is nice and close to my work though and it has afforded us to not have 2 cars but just one for my husband, since I am able to walk to work. And our neighbors in the other condo unit in this house (it is only 2 condos...us on the first floor and another nice couple on the 2nd), are wonderful people and we are very lucky to have them as neighbors...BUT we would love to have a house all to ourself someday in a nicer, more quiet neighborhood. We are looking at a place steps away from the ocean and a lovely park on the water. It doesn't have a water view but it is dang close! It looks like a little doll house...so cute. I will let you all know how it goes. Not that we were even thinking about moving right now but my hubs friend at work says this is a great time to sell so it got us thinking. And the house we are looking at tonight is a steal at just reduced to under $200K (for being so close to the harbor, this is a good deal in my State). Albeit a bit small, it is darling...here is the realtor.com link with some photos...love the wood stove in the kitchen, so cozy! Hubs not too keen on it being pink but hey, I always wanted a Barbie dream house...lol.
