ODAT- Tuesday 29th September

[Blue Sky]

Good morning Odaters

After a day feeling sleepy and unproductive yesterday I have awoken today with lots of energy. It's a beautiful day and I won't drink tonight, which in turn will make tomorrow a good day too. Tomorrow I am meeting an old school friend who I haven't seen in 18 months and I want to look good and definitely not feel hungover!

Wishing all you out there a sober Tuesday.

Good morning everyone! Fall has hit with a vengence in the Midwest. Cold and rainy, I ache all over. But....AF everything is easier to deal with and manage. I plan on being super positive at work today and wearing something bright and cheerful. Alcohol is not even going to be in my plans after work. A few chores, a good meal, and finishing up a book. Oh, having a fire in the fireplace will brighten up my evening.

I am hopeful that I can maintain this positive attitude. Have an AF day.

ODATERS!!!!

Bluey and red, what great plans!!! I love these kinds of threads! OK lets see, I'm going to start with a grounding meditation CD, be super productive with some paperwork I've been putting off, maybe go to the doggie park (it was BUSY last night), have a good healthy meal and watch the PBS special series on America's National Parks with a nice pot of tea.

And red, there's a saying "fake it till you make it" that applies to positive attitudes!

Lets rock!

ODAT- Tuesday 29th September

Good Morning Blue Sky, redhibiscus and Greeneyes and all ODATers to come today.
I drank a full bottle of wine last night. Coming on a fresh month and I have a plan to make October AF. I'm starting today back at day 1.
This morning I'm doing volunteer work and then it's home to start cleaning up the garden.
Greeneyes: I've been watching the PBS National Parks series also. Isn't it terrific? Very calming for me.
Fall is definitely her in the Northeast also. In fact, they're talking a few flakes.

Onward and upward for me one day at a time with positive thoughts.
Wishing everyone a sober day today.

Morning Blue, Red, Green (lol) and MNB! and all to follow!

Yes, Fall is certainly here! my favorite season. Off to work in a bit, but wanted to stop in and pledge that today, I will not drink. I feel so much better and happier with each day that goes by. I look forward to another evening sober and watching biggest loser while doing my upper body weights. such inspiration, that show.

Enjoy the day all!

Hi guys,

Day 10 for me today - yeah, double digits. I always love when I hit double digits (not sure why I ever go back to day one?) My goal is to get to 14 days and then move on from there.

At work this am, doctors appt at 11 and then a couple of appointments this afternoon for work. After that I have to go home, feed the troops and out the door to play pool with friends - but no worries of drinking, I never drink when I play pool as I always have to drive so today will be AF for sure.

Have a great day everyone!

Love and hugs,
Uni

Good morning everybody! Tuesdays are a hard day for me as I change my routine. Tuesdays used to be go to a pub after work and hang out with colleagues.

I know that I am not strong enough to resist drinking at the pub...so I am not going to go at all. I want to get to a point where I can go to the pub, drink iced tea and not feel like I am missing out.

So, my plan is to cook a somewhat elaborate meal tonight for DH - so will need to go to the grocery store and spend a couple of hours cooking. Please send strength my way because it is so hard not to go hang out and just "chill".

Hi everyone -

I'm trying to get through the first day two I've had in a really, really long time. I think, though, that I've finally hit that wall, that place where even the thought of me drunk is repulsive. And where I realize that if I have even one drink, it's going to wind up with me drunk. It never fails.

Anyway, you all sound so positive and upbeat, it makes me feel really hopeful. I think Determination has the right idea, making food sounds fun and distracting.
