    ODAT Saturday 25th

    Where are all the ODATers?

    I drank last night, bit annoyed really as a friend going to come round for a drink so I opened a bottle of red. Wasn't that bothered if I drank or not really which I suppose in itself is progress! Anyway, time ticked by and I poured myself a glass while waiting, drank it and so on until at 9.40pm she rang to say she wouldn't make it! Needless to say I finished the bottle myself!

    Anyway, I'm going out tonight but won't drink as I am driving so if I don't drink on Sunday it will only be one bottle for a whole week and that is really good. Almost moderate drinking. :H

    ODAT Saturday 25th

    Here's one little ODATer, Blue!

    Had about 1-1/2 drinks yesterday (practically none, for me!!)... Planning AF day today. I'm soon off to a class from 9-1 & then I want to go back to this new gym. That will all take a big chunk of AF time!

    I almost hate to say I'm feeling strong again... since I was there when I went 4+ days... only to Cave.

    When I was talking to new MWO friend yesterday, I brought up how we all seem to have an "anxiety" factor.. and she brought up the "impulse" factor. Those are both Strong stumbling blocks! But being aware of these things is very helpful.

    I think I'm going to try Observing when I have impulse. When that thought comes into my mind ("I think I'll go buy some booze.."), I'm going to see if I can isolate that thought, look at it, turn it over & over... until it passes!

    Hope you all enjoy your Saturday!

      Hey Savon! Glad to hear you had a "light" Friday night. I didnt get a chance to call (at work) but I hope to talk with you sometime today. Really looking forward to our actually meeting in person!!! We are really lucky to be so close, like somebody said, we can really help each other! Glad to hear you are feeling strong again. Keep it going, you ARE strong.

        Blue Sky, I think if you are content with what you drank, then its definitely progess! If I ever managed (highly doubtful) to just have one or two, then I would be very happy with that! Problem is, once I have one... well you know, it ends up being a ton, and not one!

        I posted somewhere that I have been trying the L-Glutamine trick. It saved my ass last night. My car was about ready to turn into the liquor store, but the Glut curbed the cravings enough to get me back to sanity. It also suddenly made me very sleepy, an added bonus!!!

          ODATERS!!

          Lovely AM here but going to push 90 so I'm off to do some outside work. Can you imagine noisy yard tools in the heat with a hangover? Me either - wouldn't get done! :H

          Hold on to your resolve and keep the pace!

              Hi All -
              Drank like a sailor last night and feeling like crap today - We closed on our house and I knew I was going to start the Topa today and try and go AF for a while so I whooped it up. At least it was really good wine. Cried alot when I realized how big a part of my life alcohol really is. Crying hangover is just as bad. Anyhow it is warm and beautiful here in Indy - Hope all have a great day!!!

                      Hi angie! :welcome:

                      You don't can do whatever you like. Poke around and see what you are comfortable with. I hang around a few. I have been sober for a while but stick by here for support to others.

                              :H some are like that. Some know each other's phone numbers, etc. Some have been members a long time and sort of do know each other. There are a couple on this thread that have been here a while. You just go along at your own pace and share what you feel like. Ask questions. This is about you and what you need. Plenty of people here ready to help and nobody is intrusive. :l
