Renewal, I wore my Red and rooted for the Cardinals. When I get off of the TOT (Time out twig), can I join you on the MFT? Day 3 beginning; feeling a little better, hopefully, well, enough to go to AA tonight. I am going to use all of the tools that I can get.

What would you like with that worm, neuro? I recommend some fresh blueberries and spring water. I hope there's lots of room on that WLOT (we love ourselves twig) because I think you'll have lots of company! We at least need to practice that, and what better place than the WLOT twig? I have not read either of the books you mentioned. Let me know if you like them. I'm reading one now called Fall on Your Knees. Just started, so I can't recommend yet. Oh, and did you get my PM? I sent you my banana cake recipe!

Sea, I'll scoot over on my perch on the MFT twig to make room for you. But, if you keep up on your AF days, you're going to want to move over pronto to the WLOT!

Hey flock, have a great day and meet your goals!

Neuro... you gots the worm again! I should haul my butt outta bed a bit earlier and be the first one... and ask for a tape worm! LOL Nope, don't know either of those books - so you get to critique them for the rest of us!

Good morning, nestlings... everyone is sounding strong and well! Excellent!

Sea... you go girl! Grab any and all help or tool and kick some AL butt! Call me if you need backup... I'm putting up my gloves :boxer:

Upnorth, I'll definitely be thinking of you... have a good and safe trip!

Dilly-Dally... you teacher's pet! Tucker's pet. Well.. some pet of some sort! :H
How are you doing?

Morning Lilmea... on every thread you're right ahead of me today! LOL Have a great day!

And, good morning renewal!!! My honey was in AZ on Sunday...did I tell you? Well, he's on his way back now... Texas last night, who knows where he'll lay his head tonight How are you feeling... got over that bug you had last week?

Ok, folks... I should mosey along. Nothing new here, really. AF and NF and that's how it's going to stay.

Have a fabulous day, chicklings... be good and duck in here any time you need a little TLC!

Good Morning Nesters!!
Everyone sounds 'chipper' today!
Just a quick post...at work...and have to go teach kindergarteners in a few minutes...ahhhh!!!!!
Last night...another successful night (for me)...I'm feeling like your only a success if you're AF...is that the case, or is it each person's own challenges and obstacles to overcome??? I'm starting to feel like such a loser saying on here...yeah had a beer last night...which is good for me?!?!? You know what I mean. I guess compared to where I was, I feel like it's a huge accomplishment but I feel like I 'should' be AF here???? I dunno???? I hope this makes sense....

HI Nesters!

SD all successes are good ones. It's all about progress.

I had an AF night last night - I'm feeling really tired and blah last night but at least not hungover which is a good thing.

Gotta fly as I'm at work (finally - stupid snow took me an hour and a half to get here this morning........grrrrrrr......)

[sunshine_gg]

Newbies Nest

SD.. it's YOUR journey... YOUR goals... YOUR way out... and YOUR destination!

If YOU are happy with having one beer, then I salute you and am happy for and with you!

Cross-post... Morning Uni!
Lotsa snow down 'south' too, huh? It just kinda stopped here now.

hey

Good morning little ones.................don't do it often at all, but actually slept in this morning.....guess I needed it. Have an appt. with a specialist this afternoon and need to run some errands before that. Love 'the banter' this morning....Dill, love the WLOT....your time on MFT definitely served you well......we have 'multi dimensional twigs' here in the nest. Feel free to 'invent your own' when needed.......Sea, c'mon over to MFT after your 'rooting efforts'...............Upnorthgirl, you're always in our thoughts............Sun, always wonderful to see you my dear.....you're like my morning cup of coffee. SDlovespackers, I completely agree with what's been said before me. 'This' is a proccess....if being AF every day is the only way to succeed, then we would see A WHOLE LOT of failure around here.......with constant feelings of disappointment and frustration with ourselves. Instead, be proud....be proud you have taken this step, of being on a forum like this. You've already done much more than most! YOU KNOW what progress is for you....strive for improvement, not perfection.......should you falter, get back up and try again the next day. Just know you ARE trying and you have a lot of support here in the nest...we're in this together. Have a great day my friends.

Omigosh thank you SS and thank you so much Renewal for those amazing words of encouragement!! I REALLY needed to hear that. I was starting to feel like maybe what I was doing or trying to do wasn't good enough or what was the 'goal' of most people here. I have to keep in mind my own personal goals and I do believe that they will change through this process...I may find that one day I'm AF..and that would be ok...if it was the right time for me. Thanks again...now I HAVE to go get to work...dang, I'm not going to have a job if I don't stop checking in

Hello there, my pffffine pffffeathered pfffffriends! (Look at that, my monitor is sweating!)

How are you, how was your day? Mine was so-so... I feel like such a loser, though. I managed to stick with apples and water all day... until 4pm or so... had a sandwich and a hand full of nuts. (The edible, salty kind.... get yer mind outta the gutter!)

*sigh*
So, here we go again.. I really, seriously musta missed the day they gave out will power. I have NONE. It's pathetic. Anyways.. I shall try again tomorrow.

I'm actually cold and feeling kinda crappy... I might just get myself to bed early, maybe with a book or some TV (if it works, for a change - satellite is no fun in the winter).

Alrighty then, you all have a nice evening, stay warm (or cool - as you prefer)!

The nest is a quiet place at times. But it is always warm and welcoming! I have to choose this evening between the MFT or the WLOT to roost on this evening. I believe I'll go WLOT tonight. Thanks, Neuro for adding that to the nest! Renewal, first it was 'fauna', now it is 'preen'! OK, so you don't have to buy a dictionary, or take a minute to google the definition: to 'preen' is 'to clean and trim the feathers with the beak'. SS, I think you have tremendous will power. You have the will power to keep up with your journey, eh? Yes, you do.

[sunshine_gg]

Newbies Nest

Dilly-doo... I have to admit... I had to google 'preen' as well! :H
And it has wayyyyy more definitions than just smoothe out feathers, I'll have you know! Yup.

Well, dear nesting newbies, oldies but goodies and whoever else flies in here... have a great night... where is Papa Renewal... I'm ready for my blankies *yawn*

Night night, all!

hey

Look Dill.....tough enough maintaining my sex symbol image in this robe, yet you want me to have brains too?? Sheeesh....asking a lot my dear. 'Preen'...who the heck knows 'preen'? You're right about 2 other things. First, Sun has shown amazing resolve in her efforts as of late...aaaand, 'the nest' IS in fact a comforting place to be....whether this thread is busy or slow, we all know it is a 'soft place to fall'....a place where regardless of your day or struggles, you can pull up a twig and share intimate thoughts without fear of judgement....while knowing loving support is sure to follow.......aaah the nest.....heck, where else do you get tucked into bed each night?
