ODAT - Tuesday

[Bessie]

Morning all

Feel like I am back on track a bit now - my life is more my own without people to attend to which is good. Tonight I am going to a meeting and there will be wine but I will be driving so I can say no easily. :goodjob: It will be ODAT but there will be a run of 0 days in my drink tracker.

Love to all to come

ODAT - Tuesday

Good morning Bessie and ODATers to come,

Sitting at the hotel bar last night to eat some dinner and I was never even tempted to order a drink. It was awesome. When I think of the times I ended up back in bed at night in my hotel room and not even remembering how I got there, I shudder.

Drinking to blackout is not a safe habit for a single woman in a hotel.

Today, I wake up remembering my evenings, no headache and able to take on the day.

I do this ODAT.

I hope all to come reach your ODAT goals for the day!!

Love,
Cindi

ODATERS!!!

Hi bessie cindi & firefox and all to come!

HOT! HOT! HOT! But being AF, I sweat less and it doesn't have that funny smell. :H Really! Just another little perk of the AF life.

Bessie, good to see you girding your loins again. Did you see my ODAT post the other day about the guy's pigs that wagged thier tails when they were eating?

Cindi that is great about not wanting a drink in the bar. You almost have to reassure yourself that it is real, not a dream. Wonderful!

Firefox happy birthday! Plenty of room for you to settle back in on the wagon!

Have a good day, all to come. Joy is all around so be sure to let it in!

Hi guys!

Bess, good to see you - Cindi - I am so proud of you, look how far you've come! Firefox, come on up, I'll move over. Greeny, I so totally agree about the less sweat and the smell!

I made it through a full day at work yesterday. Was exhausted when I got home and crashed on the couch but luckily had prepared for this so the BF and child had a nice stew waiting for them for dinner in the crock pot.

I am back at it today. It is nice to be back at a job you love. I did miss it. I figure about 4 more days and I'll be stressed out again to all hell! LOL

But I'm still AF! Day 13 today - there will be another 0 in my tracker.

Love and hugs and good luck on this sunny Tuesday,
Uni

Good Day ODATers
I have been very busy getting ready for my Travel assignment in Dallas, TX. The agency has also submitted my credentials to a hospital in Florida for when I complete the Dallas assignment. Life is changing. I am no longer living for my kids. Very exciting time. Hope all are well.

Wow, it's great to see everyone doing so well. Keep it up....It is motivation for me. I am still not so successful. I am starting to beat myself up and I dont like that at all. Always paranoid and feeling guilty.
New day today. I am taking a deep breath and keeping all of you in my heart for support.
I am sorry to always be whining. I will get to a place where I am not doing that....hopefully soon~

Happy ODAT to all! Keep trying Blanchie. I think for me it was just a matter of shifting the pieces until they clicked into place. And even after that, making up for my many slips. It's a process, but it gets easier over time.

Something new today: It's dark out. This is the first time of the year. I'm up my normal time and it's not light. I suppose I'll get up in the dark until May again. Oh well.

Good morning all,

I'm checking in after a few days away. I've had so many overnight guests in the past while I feel like we're running a B&B! But now I'm getting back into a routine, at work today and aiming for Day 2 AF. Like you, Bessie, I need another string of AF days. It's funny how even after one or two days with one or two drinks, it's again hard to abstain. But after one day (which I had yesterday), it becomes easier to add the next one on. I feel like I'm getting somewhere, I guess.

I really like that Drink Tracker! I used to just put the numbers in my daytimer, and then worry that someone would ask me what they were for!! (Yikes).

All the best to everyone for a lovely (if slightly steamy) day.

Good morning. Been off the sauce (this time) for twelve days and today I feel as though I have a bit of a hangover. Probably my plucky old liver throwing out more of the trash. I gave notice yesterday that I am quitting eighty per cent of my job at the end of September. I have been self-employed these days and I am by nature very hard to work for. Very demanding. I have done what I needed to do in terms of making extra money and I am not much of a capitalist at heart. Saving a bundle in the meantime without the single malt, special gin, and collector?s wine. The lifestyle of the sad drunk cash cow. Last night I actually loved a cold, cold glass of milk. Must be those hypnotic CDs again. Hang on Blanchie, most of us go all over the place trying to get out. Love, Ladybird.

Day 3 for me today. Could have strayed last night but told myself to wait 10 minutes and sure enough the feeling passed - someone said to me once that cravings won't kill you, they won't wreck lives or end careers - but alcohol will.
One day at a time hopefully will turn into lots of days
Good luck everyone, keep strong

Morning ODATers....I am sick sick sick but at least it's not a hangover. It's a cold/flu something like that. All I keep saying from under the covers is "this too shall pass."

At least I have NO DESIRE to drink in this state! Hope everyone else is doine better than I am!

You poor sweetie, Scrubs. It will pass a lot sooner now that you are not physically compromised with alcohol. I usually do best when I lay very low, don't fight it, let it run its natural course. I shall be thinking of you. LB.
