Ka-Splosh! I'm in!

Ringing... my bad... Ringing, Running... starts with 'R' ends with 'ing'... close enough! :H

I like the pool boy toy! Can we name him Lorenzo? Puuuleeeeze?!? I've ALWAYS wanted one of those! :H

Godschild... beautiful pic! My, my, what lovely ladies and gents we have in this pool!

Well, I've had an attack of stupidity yesterday as well Nothing major but really unnecessary. Keeping my head under water today!

Nora, I'm so happy to hear your friend is able to rest up a bit before the next surgical invasion. It does take a lot out of you.

Ok, everyone.. I need to be off and at least somewhat productive today! Have a fabby day by the pool!

Good morning All...

Ladies...ladies...I gotta do a little rant here....love me or leave me....and please do comment back...good, bad or ugly.

I am . I thought I would be the one to fall from this challenge. And I would bet many of you did too. I am not bragging by any means but I am having many internal dialogues over the slipping of so many during this challenge. Please do not think I am judging or criticizing! I may fall yet.

Sunshine how will we ever do that victory ride?? Miss O you were there!! Mama, Katie and OverIt you guys were all over me when I admitted my weak moment. (not really, but pretty adamant that I should not take that drink in my first week). So what is up with this?? I get blasted for coming on here drunk and reaching out--told I was upsetting the nesters. Rightly so I suppose. But I gotta say your slips are rather discouraging as well.

Food for thought....I do not wish to beat any one up ... I really don't understand though.

So....Hear yee, hear yee...since I created the pool boy I am keeping him to myself. I will share him with anyone that needs him to clean their private pools only if they have the same amount of days that I have. This is day 9 if I remain sober. If I fail to meet my goal, I will abdicate my control over him to the next person with as many days and who I choose. And you can all de-throne me at any time.

Ker Splash!!!!

Hi Ringing!

Can I borrow your pool boy? I am on DAY 33....I promise I will take good care of him

[Ringing Cedars]

OverIt2007's 30-day Challenge - EVERYONE INTO THE POOL!!!

You bet K9....You can even have him until next Monday unless of course someone else is need of his services. I will need to go over Tuesday duties with him Monday night though.... CONGRATULATIONS ON DAY 33 ;o)

You brought up a good point Ringing. Maybe I shouldn't be allowed to come here until I have a certain number of good days under my belt. Food for thought......

Well, Ringing... if it was THAT easy, none of us would be here. I'm sorry if you find other's struggles discouraging... personally, I learn as much from other's triumphs and failures as I do from my own Btw, I was AF for 8 months and then decided to moderate. Admittedly, with varying success. Yesterday, I did not get 'tanked' but had a drink when there really wasn't an 'occasion' - so it was a bit out of the 'rules' for me.

I'm very happy you have 9 days under your belt! And I hope you won't have any disappointments on the way... you've been doing fantastic!

Ktab... hunny... I'll let ya give me a massage! Just to boost yer spririt 'n all! :H
K-9... Congrats on 33 days... absolutely awesome! :l
Nora, feeling a bit better? And how the 'other' Nora doing today?

Right-o... back to work! Laterz!!!!

Good God No Nora!!! Please don't. We are all here for a reason with different goals. I just thought the 30 day challenge was more doable for people. Maybe the challenge should be 3days or 7days. I don't know....

Nora, absolutely NOT!!!!!
You come here and give it your very best shot! And if you fail, you dust yourself off. Just like the rest of us!

That's what this community is all about, ladies and gents. SUPPORT. Nobody should feel the need to explain/defend themselves and nobody has to 'admit a weak moment'. Chances are, we all have weak moments, still; we are all still in early recovery. For me early recovery = less than 3 years but the official number may be different.

Getting over an addiction is not a one-time thing. It truly IS a journey. Even defining and REfining your goal(s) is a journey. And since none of us know what others are facing in their daily lives, what other struggles there are, we CANNOT judge, ever. Nor, should we ever try and compare ourselves or our own journey to that of someone else.

I'm glad you didn't get tanked Sunshine. That is ultimately my goal. Not self medicating to the point of obliteration. I do soooo enjoy a bottle of wine. One is nice....it's when I open the next and on the rare ocassion the next that had to stop for me. I understand what you mean by learning from others. As I said I thought I would be the first to fall. I guess I took this challenge more seriously???? I don't know.

I sincerely hope I did not offend you or anyone else.:upset:

First I would just like to acknowledge KTAB...........LOL !!!

R.C. I do agree with you. I find it very sad when people are trying to go AF for a certain amount of days, and then crash and burn. Just think how discouraged we feel about ourselves, and discouraged isn't even the word I want to use.....pissed off to be more exact. I hated it this past weekend when I could not get beyond 5 days, but that was the longest I did in a long time. Like NoraC, sometimes I feel I should just keep my mouth shut and not post until I've done a week or more. Then another part of me feels that maybe, just maybe, this is my time. Anyway, no offense taken, and congrats on 9 AF days. Oh, and I like how you hold your nose when you jump into the pool :H

P.S. Maybe we can have 2 pool boys
