Morning Bessie and Catch!

I'm on day 32 AF and am officially down 7 pounds today! I havent felt this good in a long long time.

I have today off to extend my long weekend and am getting my daughter off to her first day in high school. I hope it goes well for her.

Wishing everyone a great sober Tuesday!

ODATERS!!

Morning catch, bessie mstall & all to come!

I had a lovely dinner with normie friends. The hubby didn't drink and the wife had one. To "throw something together" she made stuffed chicken breasts, some other things and a home-made key lime pie with white chocolate shavings on top of the whipped cream. I'm glad I said "shut up" when she said it was going to be quick and simple. :H

Seems to be a lot of talk about modding on the boards. I don't mean the mod threads, I don't read them. It's been very interesting to me.

I sure had a good long weekend. This seems like a monday, now I'll be confused all week!

Have a good one! Go for the O!

I have the fortune of going out on a sailing ship for a week coming up , my challenge, not to think that what happens at sea stays at sea..eg maybe one champagne wont hurt what trouble can I get into out here? Eeer fall over board maybe!!

Hi guys,

I am feeling good today after an AF evening last night. Although I didn't sleep well and of course it's dreary and dull today here. But I have a big yellow 0 in my tracker and I intend to have a nice big line of yellow 0's coming up.

I hope everyone has a good day - finally back to routine!

Good morning everyone!

Gosh, you gals are making me hungry! Mstall.. dunno how you do it... losing weight! I tend to PUT ON pounds, when not drinking.. prolly 'cause I'm constantly eating. And reading of all your yummy weekend adventures! Ohhhh.. and btw... CONGRATS on day 32! Positively wonderful!

Had an AF weekend as well... on day 31 now and feeling good! No modding for me, Greenie... been there, failed at that.

Ok, need to dash... have a grand day, everyone!

Hey sunnybutt! I think your AF weekend is the bomb!! I know what you mean about the normies readily acknowledging a state of intoxication. Man, I would lie, lie lie!!!

I meant talk of moderation not as in considering doing it but more so that there is no way, no such thing, tried again and bombed, etc. Successful moddidng to me would be like I drink cola. I don't crave it, don't notice it in stores, don't notice others drinking it, never have it in the house, etc. If someone offered me one, I may or may not have it and I may or may not finish it with one deffinately being all I would want. I do have preferences - I wouldn't drink it just because it was soda. Such is not nor ever will be the case with alcohol. I do marvel at the concept though.

:new:Hello Everyone,
This is my first post. I am on day 2 today. I really don't like to count days - did that a year or so ago in AA and hated it. Lasted 50 days. So I will take it ODAT, but I am not counting!! I have not ordered CDs or Kudzu or anything else yet. I did read the book and was impressed. Almost sounds too good to be true. I have spent many years drinking too much. The past few weeks have been horrible. 2 bottles almost every night. Can anyone tell me what seems to work best with the program? I am debating asking my Dr for meds.

Ancon!! :welcome: Why don't you try RJ's program whole heartedly before you decide on meds? You may not need meds. I'm not sure what you mean by what works best with the program. Pieces and parts? Do the whole nine yards if you can.

Thanks Greeneyes. I have been reading the posts in all the different forums and it seems some people are using meds, like Topamax and others are only using the CDs and supplements. I wasn't sure what was the best combination. Probably all of it like you said!
I'll get going on it. No time to waste, as I am sick of life this way.

Personally I would just use meds only if I had to. give the program without meds and tons of support here and see how you do. You seem to have good resolve and that's a big component.
