        Good (Wednesday) Morning! We all seem to be doing ok? Have a busy few days so not caught up with all the threads. AF last night, we had some friends over and I watched them drink. I had (Ceres) Mango juice and soda in a big wine glass. I was tempted, but DINAO! My chihuahua is visiting with my friend who really spoils her, so me and the other 2 dogs are off for a much faster walk than usual! BTW its day 5 AF for me (again) and I'm really really itchy, anyone else experience this?

          I LOVE mango juice!

          April, I hope you and your mom having some wonderful girl time - enjoy and cherish!

          I was bad today... but only food wise... because... yes.. you know what's coming... AINAO. Or DINAO. Look, we're even bilingual here! Hah!

          Anyways.. I'm about ready to snuggle into bed... you all be safe and warm and have a restful night! See you in the morning!

            Morning fellow AF weekers!

            :thanks: Sunshine, for your lovely comment! I felt SO happy this morning - totally fresh, light hearted and just felt SO GOOD! Had you not invited me, I'd have probably gone down the route of AL last night and felt totally sh*t this morning so, thanks so much! :l
            :goodjob: Sweaty Betty - especially with friends over as well! That does take strength so well done you! Day 5 also ... FAB JOB! How many days are you aiming for?
            :goodjob: April Moon too - isn't tea a great thing? It does actually take some cravings away - and I tell you what, in your jammies it TOTALLY takes the cravings away!
            So, Sweaty Betty & Sunshine .... can I ask what DINO/AINAO??? Am so new to this posting thing.
            Good Luck to you all for Hump Day! Get your jammies on folks!!! :H Am going to get mine on again tonight at 8.00 pm and grabbing my crunchy nut cornflakes & cup of tea!
            :l TO ALL!

              Oney-Good morning you earlier bird you. NF for 3 days. wow! you rock girl. That's one of my goal. But I want to get in 6 mnths. When my hubby quit he just quit. The same with drinking. The same with coffee. He makes it all look so easy. Sometimes I REALLY dislike that man. LOL! But that's the difference between an addictive and a non addictive personality.
              AINAO-Ancohol Is Not An Option. DINO-not sure,oney, maybe the spanish version?!

              Photogirl-I'm a coffee girl but I have been switching to tea in the late afternoon and evenings. All kinds of different kinds of tea out there. Tea and honey and yes cornflakes!

              SB-Time zones! You're mornings are my yesterdays. Cracks me up! :H

              April-My amigo, sounds like th visit with your Mother is going well. It's good to be in a place right now where your not use to drinking. let's you get your resolve set alittle firmer. No?

              Hi-Upnorh and Sea. I hope all is going well for both of you.

              SS-Are we going to spend all day today cross-posting each other again. ha! What does DINO mean? And what are codbury animals? I know what chocolate is.

              Good Hump day to all.
              AF since 7/26/2009

                Good Day Sista Hood of the Cross-eyed butt cheeks
                AINAO-alcohol is not an option
                DINAO-drinking is not an option
                Day 4 and feeling pretty good. I did not make it to the damn meeting because my anti-lock brakes failed and it snowed again. I have to get the car in the shop. I tried to get into one of those online AA meetings, but it was tough for me to jump in. I think Gyco does them. I will try to talk to him some more about them. So goals for me today-Car into shop and apply for unemployment. I though sure that I was ineligible, but the people that I talked to yesterday for temporary assistance said that I should be eligible. I wasted all of this time. Damn. Oh well, sober and accomplishing things, Imagine!!

                    Drinking is not an option

                    Just popped in to say goodnight and put my zero in.

                    Can't remember who asked the questions - but here are the answers.....

                    I'm going for 7 days, have done 5 before, and then moderated for my Birthday week. I have headaches and brain fog, but I'm sleeping this time which is great.

                    Cadbury's animals are lovely lovely biscuits. They're shortbread in the shape of animals, covered on one side in chocolate. I cant get them in Singapore but I love them. I'm going to have to crank up the aircon and make some millionaires shortbread tomorrow, poor substitute but will do.

                    It was me with the DINAO - told you I had brain fog. Back to AINAO.

                    My youngest has a Science project - he has to make a 3D model of an eye, and show how to correct a sight defect. He's gone to bed, but I can hear hubby sawing stuff in the kitchen. I got an A for his last science project (a cake with all the parts of a cell iced on the top of it), so I think Hubby is in competition mode and going for an A+.

                    Tomorrow will be the first time I've hit day six AF, something I would never have done without the support from this site.

                    Thanks. B x

                      :wow3: Busy, busy this morning in the Sisterhood!

                      Photogirl... I'm very glad you joined us and are getting all of us into jammies early! LOL

                      Oney... you are my hero! You know... you DID it... you are FREE of nicotine now... all that is left is the mental part. And, we all know you're mental! :H Seriously... I'm so proud of you!

                      Sea... good news on the UI eligibility! Keeping fingers, eyes, butt cheeks crossed! That money will come in handy to get that car fixed!

                      Evie... you too, huh? Whenever I paint I swear I have as much on me as the walls do! I had actually hoped to be painting this week as well.. but no $$$. Oh well, will have to wait.

                      Betty... glad to hear you and hubby are so talented in the vast field of science... but... ummmm... shouldn't it be the kid doing the project??? :tsk:

                      And now, my lovely sisters, I'm off to make some money - can't sit and chat ALL day, now, can I? :H You all have a wonderful AF day... you know what? We already made it 1/2 way through! Way to go everyone!

                        I think you guys are great....working together, being accountable to yourself and eachother. Connecting with those who are at the same stage in the battle is essential.

                        Keep it going....it's fun to watch you succeed and I'm sure there are those lurkers out there who are on the fence about jumping into this MWO deal.....you're showing it can be done.

                          6.00 pm and gagging for a glass!!!!!

                          :durn: Right ...... don't mind admitting it but for a whole 2 hours today whilst I was having my nails done (OK, so princessy I know!) the owner of the salon was saying how she'd done 1 AF night last night but was looking forward to having a glass/bottle tonight. I said about the little tip that I had but she kept on going on and on and I said at this rate I'll be turning up to my next nail appointment in my flipping jammies! So, am now at 6.00 pm, just made myself a cup of tea but hubby out tonight at a p*ss up dinner, won't be back till late, so am SO tempted to open a bottle. Haven't done yet - was just about to and the my Mum phoned so that stopped me. Maybe that was a SIGN!!!!! So - is it too early to put on my jim-jams at 6.00 pm and have a bowl of crunch nuts?!? What does anybody think?

                            I think you are trying your best to condone taking a drink, but deep, down inside you really don't want to.

                            So, which voice do you listen to?

                            Don't debate it. Drinking is not an option. Make it simple.

                              :teeter: RIGHT - am going to get on my powerplate for the next half hour to stop me thinking about having a glass! That will take me to nearer to 7pm and then I can look at putting my jim jams on!
