    AF April 4

    How are all my AF April buddies today???
    A beautiful day out there, and I'm hoping the rest of the snow will melt off my front lawn. Has it stopped raining in Florida? I swear, April is our driest month.

    Stayed AF last night with a big glass of soda and cranberry, then broke down and had an AF beer - not sure if that is on my anti-yeast diet!! I should have gone to bed early, but my son ended up having a bit (?) of a party upstairs, so we stayed downstairs watching movies. Of course, I was up until 2:30am watching Planet Horror. Ha! Can we say night owl?? But here I am, up at 9:30, little sleepy, a pot of pea soup on the go and am going to make bran muffins for the fellows. Feels very good - normally I would be in bed until noon. Maybe I'll take my dog for a walk - wouldn't that surprise him.

    Hope you all reached your AF goals yesterday. I had no craving at all, but today is day 4, and previously I too find this a hard one, esp being saturday night. But I have confidence and determination this time around. I'll think positive thoughts for all of you too!

    Hi, Peanut, and all to come, I am really not able to get to internet very much, so this will be quick. Good job Pnut on staying AF! I made it last night, too and am on day 9! Amazing!

                Hey Cat - long time no..... type?? School keeping you busy?? I know what you mean - some nice hot beach would be grand right now, although you are already where it is hot, yes?

                Bouchard - how was Australia?? Is it out for rent yet?

                De - I saw Valerie Bertinelli on that mag cover. I was in grade 9 when that show climaxed with the older sister (can't remember her name) left home - I remember my friends sobbing!! And hey - if she can do it, why can't we?!?! I've already lost a couple pounds over the past few days - my face is less round. I want to be down 10lb by the end of the month and with my physical training goals and not drinking - which I am still very positive about - I should be able to do it.

                Dill - day 9 - you rule!! Catch some rays for me!!

                SD - so happy you found a house you like but I know what you mean in being able to afford something in reality. Don't want to be house poor. I think Savon is around - likely on the 4 day thread.

                I actually had a nap this afternoon and actually slept!!! Usually, when I have drank the night before, I will be tired but can't sleep during the day. But this time, I was stuck and couldn't open my eyes and had this terrible drinking dream!!In the middle of the afternoon!!! I was so drunk, I couldn't open my left eye, and kept waving my hand in front of my face and couldn't see it. Terrible. I must say, Chris Prentiss' book has given me alot to think about - just finished reading a section on one's personal philosophy on life - and it reminded me alot of what my mother always was saying. Gives a different perspective on how we can deal with our feelings and emotions and have more control on what happens to us in life. I think he has written several books on spirituality - maybe that is what I need???

                Gotta go update the drink tracker!
                So happy everyone is doing so well

                      Hi Peanut, congratulations and to you others as well who made it.I am shamefaced and back to day one. I was on day 3 by Friday afternoon and going strong. Really motivated and feeling strong. Then, at a visit theevening a woman gave me a bottle of wine. (she does not know about my problem) Then the demon Al whispered to me...have just a sip to taste it, you've never had this wine before...the rest is history. I finished the bottle, went to sleep, got up yesterday morning, bougt some gin, and had 12 drinks during the day. I'm angry with myself, I am disappointed because it was not as if I had cravings on Friday night. I did not. But today I will not drink. As soon as the 12 hours since my last drink has passed I will take an Antabuse. But regardsless of that, I know I will not drink today.
                      Sorry to have disappointed you.
                      Jessie.

                        Oh Jessie - that's a tough one. I have told my friends that I am not drinking this month, but if another person who did not know this gave me a bottle of wine, i don't know what I would do!!! Of course i do - I'd drink it!!! That's the problem with one night of drinking wine - it always seems to lead to another! I am in fact craving wine right this moment, even though I've done so well this past few days. BF actually said he would get me some - damn enabler!!! - but I said NOOOOOO!!!! Just because I say I want some doesn't mean I really want some. (Aren't there jokes out there about women and trying to understand them - haha!) So, he is out buying himself something and will pick up some O'Doules for me.

                        Don't feel badly - you've not disappointed anybody - unless you want to be disappointed, but that really doesn't help much, just brings a person down. Get onto the antabuse and tally forth - tomorrow is a new day!! Have faith in yourself. I am going to have faith in myself this saturday night!
