ODAT - Monday 11th May

[Mad Mummy]

Good day ODATers and I hope this fine Monday finds you all taking things firmly in your stride!

Had a very busy weekend and a quite strange - Saturday night husband came home with wine........ and I thought well I've done 28 days so why not. But the weird thing was that I had a couple of glasses (approx half bottle) and realised I wasn't enjoying it, I was very thirsty and really wanted my usual fizzy water. So that was it, I did have a muzzy headache yesterday and felt decidedly yuk and when asked if I wanted to finish the bottle with dinner last night without thinking I said "no" and really didn't want to.

Beginning to think this (almost) 30 day abstinence thing can have a devastating effect on you:H

So sort of Day 2 or Day 30 depending which way you look at Saturday's experiment.

Hope you are all doing well.

ODATERS!!!

Mad mummy that's great! I'm afraid to try that because I'm afraid I might feel otherwise and slide downhill. I had a dream last night that was sort of along those lines. Had one glass of wine at a lavish party and then sure enough, was at the bar trying to sneak vodka. Anyway congratulations on whatever day it is!

Hope everybody else is doing well or at least better!

Gotta keep on the work/chore trail.

ODAT - Monday 11th May

first day here

Hi .. not really sure how this works . I posted my story ( ish ) today on first starters I think & I was so touched by the replies & how quickly they were there....Amazing!!

Anyway someone recommended I join a thread , one of which was ODAT ,
Still not sure how these work ..do I just add a reply to whoever was there last or do you have to start a new thread ( & if so How????).

Anyway today is day 1 AF & I'm feeling optimistic . Good luck to everyone out there .

By the way what does ADAT stand for?

I'm BAAAAAAACK. It's me - KBCE from a few months back - re-joined because the email that I must have signed up with was the one I closed because of too much spam. I posted on the Newbies forum - I am embarrased and ashamed, but I know that ODAT is the only way I can do this. You all have always been so supportive and I appreciate it more than you know. I will do this and fight this and maybe this time all yoru sage advice and support will get through this big fat cranium of mine. Plus I am sooooo over being puffy from too much wine the night before. I looke like an iguana half the time. Oh, vanity...lol

I want to be healthy and AF. Bottom line. I am committed to this and I have to follow through. It's my only hope. Good luck to all and thank you for being here.

Hi Bubblex, ODAT is one day at a time, so don't worry about yesterday, tomorrow, next month, next year etc just deal with today - it's the only day that counts!

Whoever gets here first each day starts the ODAT thread for the day, it really doesn't matter who does it. And then we just post how we're feeling, what we're doing, reply to others that you'll get to know and just know that everyone here will be a friend and support you through whatever you need.

Big welcome back hug to Capa - remember you from while back, I know that puffy look and never thought about the iguana similarity, LOL!

Hi Mad Mummy

Well done on your 4 weeks. :wd:Just watch out if you decide to try modding...I found out that after doing 31 days my tolerance dropped and I got killer hangovers easily!:upset: I'm trying to mod but it's really hard to stop after 1 or 2 drinks. I was advised by the long term modders to make some rules for myself to help. Problem is I keep breaking them.
