ODAT - MONDAY

ODATERS!!!!!

Monday!! Always a great day to start fresh should you need to!

I went to a barbeque yesterday and the host had a huge thermos container of iced tea from a mix. Usually that is horrid but it was great and everybody talked about it and that's what most people drank. Funny how I still notice what people drink. I think normal drinkers amaze me and I can't stop marveling at it.

Here's to a good AF run this week. Watch out for potholes!

ODAT - MONDAY

Happy Monday Everyone!!!

I am DEFINATELY POSITIVELY NOT drinking TODAY! Lately I have been realizing the stupidness of drinking. Dont get me wrong, I know its a serious disease, that is multi-facated, complicated, confusing, serious, and dangerous. I am a victim to its power.

But lately, I can't help but feeling bored with it all. I dont even get a good buzz anymore, and I have realized that after two drinks, well its just plain not fun anymore.

Drinking for me HAS NOT been "FUN" for a very long time, So.... why am I doing something that has lost its "fun" so long ago? Now its just empty calories, making me fat, lazy and depressed.

I have even grown bored with my drinks of choice. Vodka...boring. Chardonnay. Boring.

Please God let me get so bored with it all and so Over It!!!

Have a good week meeting your goals, I am certainly going to try to meet mine this week, (and beyond).

Hey guys,

I hear you both! It isn't fun anymore and it has gotten boring. And I am also amazed at how people can be "normal drinkers".

I am on day 4 here and feeling a bit better. A little bummed about it being Monday (I've been having a really hard time at work lately so it makes it a little difficult to be motivated etc.). My BF's grandfather passed away on the weekend as well so we have a funeral tomorrow. And then with moving etc - just a lot of stuff on the go - makes it difficult to keep myself moving; hard to not be depressed but I'm hanging in.

No AL for me today though for sure, I don't want to fight that beast as well - I will be here tomorrow saying that it's DAY 5. I have my AF beer at home if I get a craving - I have my toolbox and I am ready.

Have a great Monday everyone and good luck meeting your goals today!

Hello,
I'm new to ODAT but I would like to join you today. I'm sick of being hungover, tired, unmotivated and depressed. Today will be my first AF in a long time.

Welcome Ishy!!!


I hope you enjoy the ODAT thread. For me, its a reinforcement tool. When I post on here, and say "today I am not drinking", I usually do not drink. Something about making the commitment, writing it down, and being accountable for my actions for just that day.

Hope to see you post more often!

Welcome Ishy! ODAT is a great way to check in, and get a reminder of goals. I miss it if it isn't here. Even when I don't post, I almost always check the ODAT every day. You will get lots of help here. Stick around and it will stick with you.
