Hi everyone

Thanks for starting the thread Twitch and hope you are soon feeling better. Both my daughters have it at the moment, try honey and lemon in warm water.

Another beautiful morning here. Have been on a long walk with the doggies and my friend. That's my therapy every morning and I feel great afterwards.

Still taking my supplements and absolutely no cravings. This has never happened to me before and I am so, so thankful. It used to be such a battle every night, (never drank during the day) your addicted brain fighting your sane brain. It really wears you out and when the addicted part wins you then have to cope with the feelings of shame and self-disgust. Not having that battle is so liberating. Hope you all have a great AF day.

Hi Twitch and Mazzie
Twitch I too am on the couch - had to pull a sickie today cos have no leave left in my job, my (prodigal) son is returning home from Oz after a round the world trip for last 10 months. When he left I was drinking like a fish and I've just been thinking will he notice any differences and the answer has to be a resounding YES! When he left I was permanently tired, feeling ill, disinterested in everything, bloated, unhappy and 2 stone heavier, and thats just for starters. I got a great feeling inside when I thought all this and it has made everything (hard times and all) sooooooo worthwhile-Twitch hope you feel better soon, I feel guilty pretendin to be sick when you really are!! Have a nice day everyone:l:dancin:

ODAT Tuesday

Good Morning ODATer's,

My Tuesday is just beginning, it looks like some rain today. Thats ok, I have to work all day.

Yesterday was a tiny bit challenging, but just a tiny bit. Would you believe I am a bartendar at my job sometimes? Yep sure am. But one thing I have learned, is once you have made a firm commitment, you can even be pouring drinks right in your own face, and still say NO. I only bartend one night a week, so the rest of the week should be much easier.

Twitch, I hope you feel better! Strep throat can be painful. Here is to your speedy recovery. Hi Mollyka, I look forward to learning more about you as well. Morning Mazzie!

Rustop, I have a puppy dog too, and one thing I really look forward to is my morning runs with him. I am happy to say, that I am making pretty good progress in my running, I have been able to run longer and longer distances. Exercise has always made me feel good, and even in my drinking days I still tried to drag my butt to the gym.

Have a wonderful AF day today!!! The efforts are SO worth it!

ODAT Tuesday

Hello to All,

I'm heading off to bed soon...it's that time of day in Australia.

Went out to dinner with a friend this evening and didn't drink. I took the car as my "insurance policy." My friend doesn't drink either (religous choice) so it was pretty easy. He introduced me to a pretty exoctic mocktail.

I too am suffering with a sore throat - luckily not as bad a strep throat. Had that once and wouldn't wish it on anyone. I have had a slight thought that AL would numb my throat but I know it won't it's just a case of waiting to get better.

As hubby and son are both away, I went out for a massage today. 60 mins of pampering at the cost of 4 bottles of wine. I am definately going to be doing that again.

Hope everyone has an AF Tuesday.

Good Morning all! Going to work soon and just want to say I had a wonderful af day yesterday and plan on one today. One Day at a Time works for me. If I start thinking about tomorrow, I get flustered and set up for a fall considering I am working in a bar....but as Over It said....it is a committement.

Have a good day and rest the strep!

Hi All-Checking in here for ODAT !-Mama bear- did you order your topax from River pharmacy? Just thinking about trying something like that if I can't do this cold turkey...
Luv, Fluff

Good for You Mama Bear!!!

Thats fantastic! Good luck with it!!!!

You know, at my doctors appointment, I had asked for Topamax. He was reluctant to write a script for it, but he said, "if you want it, I will"

Then we talked about the Antabuse. I have a filled prescrition of Antabuse in my cupboard I have not taken yet, but just KNOWING ITS THERE, really does something for me.

My goal with the antabuse is at the first warning sign, pop, in goes the pill!

Whatever works!

Have a blessed day everyone.

why was he reluctant??? I ordered mine here after talking at length with my pharmacist about possible interactions with other drugs I take for depression

[ronaldolover]

ODAT Tuesday

Mama Bear - I also take other meds for depression and OCD. Did your pahrmacist indicate there could be any interactions with the Topamax? I am thinking about ordering it.....

Good Day All
Healing wishes to those who are not feeling well:l
I am trying very hard to get my butt moving. Some days my depression just kicks my butt. I just want to sleep and sleep some more. The job search is very depressing. I have burned so many bridges over the past few years. I will fight the depression and force myself to accomplish something today. At least I have come to the realization that Alcohol will only make it worse, Duh! I will go to my Aftercare group this evening at the rehab and then to an AA meeting. That usually makes me feel better. I wish all a delightful, sober day.
