    ODAT - Thursday

    Hi guys!

    I am not sure where Bessie is today but thought I would start the thread for her until she comes back in from all the work she does on a daily basis!

    I am really proud of myself. Today is 21 days AF. No drugs, no supplements, just pure will power and the need to really get to my 30 days this time and then figure out what I'm doing from there.

    There are 4 beers in the fridge at the cottage from the May long weekend and baileys in the cubbord for coffee and I haven't touched either. I have had some AF beers since I've been here and that has killed any cravings.

    So here I am! 9 more days. I am feeling much more in control. I can understand now why when people get to this point they don't want to drink anymore cause there is honestly a fear for me now. I am afraid to go back to that scary place. I am hoping that I can become that person that has a glass of wine with dinner or a beer at a bar after baseball. I don't know if I can. I am not sure I am ready to find out yet. But I am happy with where I am.

    I hope everyone else has a great day and meets their goals.

    Love,
    Uni
    Every day is a day to start over and remember that I am powerless over my addiction. I will no longer give the BEAST any power over me - he can go straight to hell.

    Hey Uni,

    If you didn't know this, I happen to be really proud of you too! Its amazing you have done this without any supps. You know, if you ever find it getting really hard, you should at least try to add some L-Glut. I swear this stuff works.

    So, fourth of July weekend coming up here. Oh boy. I have a plan of staying in control. I have to stay in control.

    Yesterday after working all day, I "thought" I wanted a drink. I took one sip, and was rather grossed out by it really. I ended the day with one drink and really wanted no more.

    Now, If I could do that all the time, wouldn't life be wonderful! WISHFUL THINKING!!!


    Enjoy your day my friends.
    I LOVE MY SEROTONIN AND BOOZE SCREWS IT UP!!!!!

      Hi Uni,
      Congratulations on your achievement. 21 days is great, and you sound determined to make it to 30.
      Overit, interesting how the one sip was not satisfying. No harm in wishful drinking, no?
      I leave for my parents house in the US tomorrow and I am dreading it.

      Have a great day!
      Success is not final, failure is not fatal, it is the courage to continue that counts.

        Hooray! Day before a holiday. I'm stoked. I plan on a nice three days of resting and just enjoying life. I haven't found anyplace to go. I think instead I'll plan on cleaning my tool area. This may not sound fun to you, but I'm finding life gets much easier when I clean the crap out of my tool drawer, sheds, spaces etc. It will make me happy next time I need to find a drill or a special type of tool. Absolutely perfect weather here in the Pacific Northwest; 90 degrees in the afternoon, with high 50s at night. Easy to close windows against the heat and enjoy tons of pool time and skimpy clothes time in the afternoon. Just one short work day to go!

          4th weekend will be a challenge for me but I don't want it to be like last weekend! Garage and tool cleanup sounds like a great idea. Last time I started that I was working on a six pack so it turned out like crap!

            ODATERS!!!

            Let's hear it for projects!!! Boss.man, you should see me looking out every window in the house to admire my mowed grass. It's silly, but I don't care. It makes ME FEEL GOOD!

            Uni, I'm proud for you! You wear those BGPs well!

            Tulipe, I'm sorry you are dreading your trip. Why is that? Where do they live?

            Overit, I agree with the l-glute. Had you run out of it yesterday? :H (I'm just picking, you did good to not want more. But you were lucky, you know.

            Gearhead it will be a challenge, but so worth it to meet it and come out a winner. And you ARE a winner!

            I have on one of my favorite shirts today. It's red. I can do anything in red and look good doing it.

            Have a happy.

              Morning ODATers

              Boss.man, if your organizing is a success please hop over a couple states and get my husband's stuff cleaned up too. Drive me nuts!

              Greenie, I'm wearing red too but it's not really my best color. Must be laundry time.

              Uni, 3 weeks is great. I agree on the L-glut, although I'm not doing a ton of supplements anymore I keep the L-Glut on me pretty much all the time in case the mood strikes, it works that well.

              Tulipe, why are you dreading your trip??

                Good afternoon and, Gearhead, you won't be alone this weekend, you will have many little cheerleaders in your head and heart helping you along.

                It also really helps me to keep busy with a manageable task where I can see the results like tidying my potting shed. So much of life is not like that. This morning I climbed up a ladder that I set up on top of a narrow raised bed that is three feet high. I had to untangle huge sunflowers from the phone and satellite lines. I am no spring chicken and it is a very good thing that I had not been drinking! Small mission accomplished. Love, Ladybird.
                may we be well
