    ODAT - Sunday

    Day 1 (yesterday) wasn't so bad, all things considered.

    Walked thru my living room in the virtual dark, as I usually do in the mornings, to go ?squish, squish?! Went to turn on light, and there were all the roses (almost lined up) on the carpet. The water isn?t bad, but there was one of those green florist?s cube thingys in it. I tried to blot up, but my fear is that the GREEN has died the rug!! I put some carpet cleaner on it, but. I am NOT happy! I think I will call a florist later to see if they can give me some advice.

    Couldn't help but think bf got last laugh! But... really it's my own fault - I thought several times about transferring 1/2 the roses to another vase (too many for one vase), but Didn't!!

    OHhhh, I'm so not happy. :upset: Will wait for the light of day, and then deal w/it.

    Crying over spilled roses! How ironic.

    Hope you all have a Better day!

    Aww you got roses!!!! I got a card, but that's okay. I'd rather my husband finish up my kitchen remodel. LOL We had a water pipe break under our front porch. What a lovely Valentines day we had. My husband was 4 foot down in a hole all day, muddy, fixing it.

    Sexy...not! LOL

    Daytona 500 is on today. WOO HOO.....but how am I gonna enjoy without my rum and coke??? It's gonna be probably the first one I have watched AF. No rum in the house ....so I have no way of drinking it. That's okay.. I might even be able to remember who won. LOL

    Ya'll have a great AF day!!!!!

    Edited to add: I didn't even acknowledge your day 1......good for you...Any day sober is a good day.

      Hi Savon
      That is a pain hope u get it sorted.
      Something comes to mind - I read somewhere that the things that are urgent are rarely important and the things that are important are rarely urgent. I can get so caught up in the the trivial matters of day to day life that I forget to make time for more important pursuits. Today maintaining my sobriety is my first priority. As I think about what I will do to day, I will ask first 'What is important' and hopefully this will help me not to be thrown off the track by every feather and leaf that fall on the rail. Have a great AF day everybody I am off doing a bit of hill walking for a few hours.
      Luv

        I'm on day one again. I;ve been posting on and off for 2 years, and I'm still drinking. More than double what I should be drinking each week - is that really awful? I want to crack this, I'm a secret drinking, my family know I like a drink, but no one has any idea how much I'm drinking . I'm afraid that they're going to find the bottles, that I'm going to fall and hurt myself etc etc- then the secret will be out. I want to get over this. Thanks for everyone's support. I'll try one day at a time again Tylyr

          Tylyr - after drinking solidly for a week (and ruining a relationship!)... I knew I had to STOP. Don't aim for anything except ONE day. Don't think about tomorrow.

          As I mentioned, I was AF yesterday. I have to admit that even ONE day felt good! I was scared that I would give in to my hurt feelings, etc., but I found that when I started to think about such things, I could change my thinking... just for those few moments when drinking would cross my mind.

          Just do ONE day. If only to prove to Yourself that you can do it.

          After having said that, I'm not feeling so strong today. But I will see how it goes... (Doesn't sound too resolved, does it?!)

          (Glad you're posting!)

            Hi Savvy and Ty and all to come
            I have a busy day planned. AA meeting at 10am. Home, clean out refrigerator, Yuck, take out trash etc....
            One of my Aunt's passed away so I will be going to Massachusetts for her wake.
            Plan to remain AF today. I wish you all strength and a wonderful Sunday.

              Tyler...you and I are alike. I'm new here, but it makes no difference. There are times I want to secretly drink, but with rum and the smell, there is no way I could hide it from my husband. I have so many boo boos from drinking. How could I explain my hurt foot, the bruises I would get etc to my husband. Been there so many times.

              One day at a time is the only way. I wish you the best of success. We can do this!!!!

                savvy, congrats on your day 1. I know I get stronger with every AF day. I hope the green comes out of the carpet, too!

                april, I feel for ya with the broken water pipe. My HB has fixed five so far this year. Not ours but in one of our rentals and several customers'. It's a pain in the drain!

                irish, thanks so much for your post..."the things that are urgent are rarely important and the things that are important are rarely urgent" really helped me today.

                tylyr, I'm so glad you're posting. It's a terrible secret to keep. Yes, please start with ODAT and let us know how you're doing, ok? Take care of yourself.

                Hey Sea, I'm sorry about your aunt. You sound busy, cleaning and all. I've been keeping myself busy with cleaning, too. I like it now and that's weird because I always used to hate it so much. I'm telling myself it's good exercise. The more I take better care of myself, the more I take better care of my home. HHhhhmmmm.

                Well, today's my birthday so I'm celebrating (at 48?!) that with my HB and kids. My son's already asked for money and I said "NOT ON MY BIRTHDAY, GIVE ME A BREAK!". He got the hint. Teenagers. Sheesh.

                The sun's out and it's beautiful. I'm going to take the dogs out for a walk and get my vitamin D in.

                Take care, ODATers! It's nice to be sober!

                  Good Morning all -- yes, any day is a good day to be sober. Savon, I am with you and pulling for you and, Tyler, I know how frustrating it can be but there is peace ahead. Although I am sober now for 9 months -- I struggled for years and years to just get a week here and several days there of sobriety. If you want it, just don't give up -- every day you get to start over on a new life to sobriety. Sea, sorry about your aunt -- drive safely to the wake.

                  So to all ODATimers, have a wonderful sober day. April, you are so right, "any day sober is a good day".

                      Good to hear from everyong. savon - i will take it one day at a time. Matthen, how do you do it!!?? you struggled for years, and now you're 9months AF - absolutely wonderful. I really want to be there, but there's this niggle all the time. I've been following Reteacher for a while = an inspiration, and how she fell - I'm so very sorry.
                      I don't want folks to find out about my problem, and I know that if I don't knock it on the head they will for sure. Everyone is such an inspiration. Off for a long walk now. Tylyr
