    ODAT, Thursday, March 18, 2010

    And a good morning to all of you ODATers!

    Gosh, I cannot believe I started this journey almost two weeks ago and here I am on day 13 already! It's gone fast and it's gone real slow.

    Today I go volunteer and then it's more math and looking for work. Ugh. While I like volunteering, I am not so looking forward to more math (my brain doesn't work well that way) and of course looking for work in this economy can be daunting. However, the good news is that as long as I don't drink I can do all three today!

    Well, here is hoping everyone had a safe holiday and here's to another AF day! :l

    Hey AD,

    You sound really fired up. well done on 13 days.

    On Day 4 here. Started taking Antabuse yesterday so in another couple of days I will at least have a solid insurance that drinking won't be an option.

    It's an awesome day here. Still thinking about how to keep myself busy tonight.

    Lovely day to everyone.
    AF since 15th March 2010

    The journey is the goal. As long as you're fighting the good fight and you're not giving up on giving up, you're winning. It's not about how often you get knocked down, it's about how often you get up again. Sobriety the goal for sure. But striving to get to that goal is what it's about. Not getting there. Because the journey never ends. The journey is the goal.

      Great for you Johnnyh! As far as I know even with one dose of Antabuse you are "safe," so to speak! I am proud of you for taking such a big and committed step!

      If you get bored tonight, we'll always be here!

      Lovely day back at ya!

        Hey AD,

        Bravo! Nice job on Day 13! You inspire me! Math? Uggghhhh....my worst subject! I'm off to the gym to burn off last night's corned beef and cabbage. I'm Irish....hey, it's what we do on St.P's Day!

        Have a great day everybody! I am grateful for my job, my life, my family and my friends, but most of all, for my health!

                  Hi All,

                  Coming to the end of day 3 here. Took the l-glut just before the school run and haven't had a fancy all evening.

                  AD - You sound SO positive now. Already a lot better than 2 weeks ago. Well done and good luck with your new challenges.

                  Had a horrendous nights sleep last night. I have bought a herbal sleep thingy which I will try for a couple of weeks. I don't sleep well at night and then feel sleepy during the day.

                  Busy weekend coming up and I need to be extra aware of the cravings. Weekends are the worst time for me. Could do with lots of support.

                  Anyway, off to try a couple of crosswords before heading to bed.

                  Night all,

                  Spam xx

                      Morning Mama! Spam, AD, Johnny Gyco, Rusty!!!

                      Mama, if I could safely drink a couple of beers, or wine, I would be good with that. Problem is its very seldom I can stop there. I was at the point where if I drank a bottle of wine (standard size) that was a GOOD night for me! (like yippee I only drank ONE bottle of wine!!)

                      Im amazed by Another day like everyone else. Talk about a turn around! Its been a pleasure to watch.

                      My happy happy moods have tapered off (Mama LOL!!!). Im not drinking at all of course, but have settled down in more of just a "normal" type mood. I get pissed off, bad mood, good mood, just normal I suppose.

                      Tomorrow!!! I am going to see my crush! Will keep you posted on that, and I HOPE goes well!

                      Enjoy your day my FRIENDS,
                      I LOVE MY SEROTONIN AND BOOZE SCREWS IT UP!!!!!

                          Hi friends!

                          If I make it AF today, it will be my record in 8 yrs since my little guy was born.
                          Please wish me luck.

                          (I already filled BFYZ - bigfatyellowzero - on Drintracker and have no intention of changing it!)

                          I hope tomorrow morning to see yours BFYZ also!

                          Have a fabulous day all!

                            Hi everyone! Insert wavey!

                            Overit, you are too kind! And everyone else too. I hope everyone's day is going well so far!

                            I am sort of in a funk at the moment. I like volunteering but I walk in my messy house and lose all energy.

                            Anyway, stopped at the grocery store and bought 32 Lean Cuisines on the way home (for my diet and it's on sale). I think I will clean up for a bit. I am going to use my egg timer trick. I'll set it for 20 minutes and clean, then take a break for 10 and post here, then repeat until this piggy pen looks better.

                            Ok, just wanted to check in for now! Time to clean!
