Hiya Sunshine, LookingtoGrow, UpnorthGirl et all ...

You all seem to be doing REALLY well! :goodjob: Well done, Sunshine, with the idea and getting people on board. Also, especially with Hubbie away! Hope you're all keeping strong. Wish I could have thought about joining you but am not sure am in the right frame of mind at the moment I wouldn't want to have let you all down. I think it's 'cos I'm in pre-holiday mood (off to Antigua on Friday which I can't wait for ... but it's 2 weeks of flipping all-inclusive) so I just need to get MODERATION, MODERATION, MODERATION into my vocab. When I come back for a detox I'll probably be in a more positive frame of mind.
Have a great day!!!!!:l

Good Day Sistas, and if there are any brothas out there
Day 3 about to begin and feel a bit better. I have started up the vits and supps, been drinking lots of water. I pulled out the CD's; may try them later. They seem to make me fall asleep.lol. If I continue to feel well, it's off to AA tonight. I will pick up a 24 hour chip because that is a way of telling people that you need help, and see if I can get a sponsor. Sober wishes for all, cuz, AINAO!!!!

Hey Butt Cheek Sisters.......AINAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have my mother at my house for several days. (Daddy died last Feb and we do this often) So I will not drink. I never drink with her around ...remember I'm a closet drinker. So I will have several days of being AF...... It sure makes it easier.

Good morning AIAAO
Hope everyone made it through yesterday without too much problem.

Sea-good for you gir! I went AA long ago and far away. That was before the internet and AA was the only show in town. I still draw on alot of the thinks I learned there to help me today. hang in there.

Upnorth-your sounding strong. Do you have to travel much in your job? How do you handle that AF. Or maybe it's not a problem for you? Well stay strong. We'll leave the light on for you.

April-:smile: glad to see from you. Sorry about your Dad. My first hubby died 14 yrs ago and I still have days when I miss him. But it's good you are in a safe AL free inviorment.

To my sista's that follow-have a good AF day.

Photogirl... You are more than welcome to join us until Thursday

Sea, so glad to hear from you and that day 3 has you feeling a bit better! Hope you make it to the AA meeting tonight

Upnorth, babe... happy travels, be safe and sober!

April, I'm so sorry about your dad; this must be a difficult time of year for you, then. Big props for sticking it out AF. Wishing you and your mom a wonderful, close visit!

Morning big butt, how are you holding up, girl? I'm SOOOOO proud of you... I don't know if I could have done it cold turkey.

Good Morning Lilmea! Let's see if I can get this one sent before someone else cross-posts! LOL How are you doing, Lilmea? Staying strong?

Well, dolls, I'm about to start my day... hoping to put a big dent in my to-do list. Wish me luck!

Thanks for the Invite, Sunshine!

:lordhelpme::
Right, Sunshine, I'm going to give it a go till Thursday!
I was supposed to be out tonight with a girlfriend, aka getting p*ssed. My hubbie out late tomorrow night so always take that as an opportunity to aka get p*ssed. Thursday is de-mob happy day and the night before we go, we always have a couple of G&Ts, some wine ... aka get p*ssed.
But, my friend cancelled on me tonight so ..... there's really NO EXCUSE NOT TO JOIN THE PARTY! Right - I'm going to do it. When I put my girls to bed - am going to put my jim-jams on and get a bowl of cereal. That's my usual tip so I'm gonna try. Wish me luck. :fingers:

Right, taken the first step and am now in said jim-jams! Just poured myself a "nice up of tea" and about to have a bowl of cereal. Not exactly the evening I'd got planned - not a bar in sight - but no hangover tomorrow! Thanks for inviting me! Will let you know how I get on tomorrow. night night x

I DID IT! I DID IT!!!!!

:shocked: I did it!
My crunchy nut cornflakes have never tasted so good nor my cup of tea! Of course my girls had thought all their christmas's had come at once when I'd tucked them up in bed in my jammies - they just LOVE the thought of us all going to bed at the same time, but, hey, it's worked for me! Of course I did have the UK time to rely on and at that point in time it was 8.00pm so quite acceptable I think. BUT ....... hubbie phones up on his way back at 9.00 ish to let me know he's on his way back. Me - just catching up with Coronation Street (you really don't want to know!) crunching my crunchy nut cornflakes feeling really good about myself. Then ...... he blinkin phones back 2 mins later to say "did I fancy a glass of red wine?!". Of course, after calling him the obligatory bugger ...... I declined. I even felt OK when he came in and poured himself a large glass of the fine nectar - and I didn't want a drop! Didn't even like the smell of it (crikey moses - nearly typed "taste" by habit!). So, am off to bed now with a BIG pat on my back! Also going to say a few prayers tonight (for what it's worth) 'cos we're due another HUGE dump of snow thanks to our neighbourly French euro-counterparts and, of course, GB being GB can't deal with it and guess whose due to fly out to Antigua on Friday? yep, your's truly. :thanks: for giving me the branch to join. You've no idea how GOOD I feel about myself! Hope you're keeping strong!!!!!!:l
