[New Day]

ODAT - Wednesday

Good Day to All of you ODATer's ---- everyone sounds very upbeat and I'm feeling the same..... except that we're getting another snowstorm here and I've got to shovel. Not happy about that after just coming back from sun, surf & sand!
Sunshine --- I too am better for having found MWO .... not as successful as I'd hope I'd be by now, but still it's an improvement and I feel stronger in my fight against AL when I decide I'm going to have some AF days. So it's taking baby steps for me that's sure to lead to success .... I'll have to be patient I guess.

Witchywoman ---- you're goals are what I would like to achieve in the long run too. Keep us informed as to how it goes.

Ezz --- good to see you back. 27 days is a long time .... good for you!

Keep the positive vibes going gang and we'll all have a successful day today! ODAT

Hey, Skinnycow, what was the name of the book you were reading about modding?

hey dill
the book is called 'sober for life'. and its not about moderating per se. it is about how people manage to beat their drinking problems for good and in a number of different ways, beyond aa. most of them are are completly abstinent, but a very few moderate.

i am not doing so great at the moment. Fell off the proverable wagon tonighty. A trigger set me off of course, and is a sad excuse! i won't go into what it was at the moment,not that it really matters, but i hope it won't be a very bad episode. it's early here.

I suppose the fact i am posting means a part of me wants to put the brakes on it and not make it too bad. maybe is shouldn't be on the odat thread at all. sorry guys and dolls!.

Skinny -- of course it should be on the ODAT thread. If not here where we all care, where? Keep posting where ever it feels right, we want to know how you are?

Wow, what an upbeat thread today! I'm on late because of work and think I need to sign on earlier in the day. I get so caught up and now I'm behind and aarrrggghhhh the snow won't end here! Daughter's home sick from school again. My son got into the college of his choice so I'm relieved about that but stressed about the financing. I modded successfully last night but had terrible nightmares. That's common for me, though, I'm beginning to notice. The more AF days I put in, the better my dreams get. I've put "Sober For Life" on my list as reading helps me tremendously, thanks for that.

I agree with all of you. I am so much better here with MWO than I was before. No comparison at all.

Take care,
Be

Becoming, Sorry about your sick one! But yay about the college acceptance!!! I have already read Sober for Good and highly recommend it. Do you like it SkinnyCow? BTW, I'm glad you posted. I hope it helped you. I am struggling here today but haven't got a drop of drink in the house and I'm basically snowed in, so, that takes care of that! I am having a craving but am trying to ride it out like a wave and using the SOBER strategy I read about on an ealier post posted by Gumby.

Hang in there Dill, don't give in. You already have 3 days! Use whatever helps you through it.
