Ok, Mama,

I have something to share that is definitely NOT positive and/or perky. Somehow, someway, I've managed to gain 5.5 lbs since Monday. Grrrr....I wasn't going to say anything in this thread as I posted it under the meds section. Think it's those meds I am on. Grrrr.....what is the point of not drinking and taking my medication if I GAIN weight? (just kidding but just sayin')

At any rate, if some sound happy and positive and perky it's only because it's such a battle to make it through another day AF. It's not easy but it can be done!

I know. And thanks. You're on meds for depression, right? Are you gaining weight?

It's so frustrating. I used to drink like a fish and weigh 122. Of course, I used to blackout and fall down too. Don't want to go back there either.

Is it too much to ask to Just.Be.Normal? It's sooooooooooo frustrating!!! :upset:

Mama!

Do you know my name on here, Overit 2007. I started MWO in 2007. THREE years later, I had my first glimmer of success, which is what you are experiencing with me now.

Mama! I felt the SAME WAY when I would see other people having success. I was happy for them, but also like, "what the heck is wrong with me?"

I would see others making it a week, a month, and in my heart WISH "why cant that be me????"

Was I jealous?? HECK YES!!! Jealous enough to do anything about it? No.

Dont feel bad to feel the way you do. Just remember it took Overit 3 stinking years to get just the tiny bit of success I am clinging too.

And I am just one drink away from failure too.

Hi all ODAT'rs

Happy St. Patrick's Day. Beautiful day here, not going to any of the parades but am going to be AF.

Overit, you summed up my history so well except I am here since 2006!! I really, really struggled to get those early AF days. I have had over 200 days AF most years since joining but still I struggled. This is the first time that I have not had cravings, thanks to the supplements and am at day 24. Like you Overit, I intend to keep on going and to anyone struggling just keep on trying, the battle is only over if you give up.

hey mama.. love your honesty. i had actually been feeling a bit odd about posting my excitement at my AF days when i know there are others struggling. god knows how i have managed it, a bloody miracle. as you know we're all here for the same thing, ups, downs, good days, bad days. its great to have all these wonderful people with us x spud
