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

Afternoon to all those popping by the pool. I guess it isn't much of a challenge these days?
Although KT seems to be challenged to stay out of hot water. (said the unnamed person)
How's the horse?s arse Sunshine? :H:wave:Get yer durt?
OverIt that sounds like a great first date. We do like our challenges don?t we?:H
Had a couple of down days thinkin to drink but didn?t give in. I am thinking I won?t quite do the 30 days since next weekend is the long weekend and I?m not really sure why I shouldn?t since I think I?ve really achieved the purpose of the goal. ie to see if I could go without a drink for even a week let alone jumping into 30 days af. I?ve really come to the realization that no amount of self medicating will change the circumstances that started my period of heavy drinking. I?ve taken some emotional inventory and actually taken some concrete measures to move on from dwelling on the pain. (took pics down from walls) Just saying that is making me cry, but that?s ok too.:upset:
I watched Rain in my Heart last night. I do recommend it to all who haven?t seen it. I?ve read Sunshine?s and Fennel?s recent lists in the Newbies Nest and have cut and copied them into a word document as a starting point for my own list.
I am not perfect but I keep trying?.good Hedley song.
Splishin and a splashin
:wave:

Hi Ringing,

Ringing, you have done amazing at this challenge, much better than I did, and it had my name on it! I think your doing great, and have been very inspiring and motivating to me, even if some say you rubbed them the wrong way? Whatever, I say to that. I think your spunky strong lady, and I think you can do whatever you set your mind to. Just my little say so!
Happy to say I am currently doing really good! Starting day 6 with my eyes focused on the prize.

Hi OverIt,

You made my day with your kind words and honesty. You'll never know how much. Very few people have taken the opportunity to congratulate me on my af achievement, particularly publicly. I have received a few "well done" pm's and honest expressions of surprise that I was doing it. I really appreciated those too. I have apologized if I have offended and if that isn't good enough, oh well. I am a realist, not an optimist or pessimist and try to live by the four agreements. In the end -- you can't please everyone and would drive yourself bonkers if you tried. So thank you again. You are a sincere, courageous gal and I am pleased to have met you!
Glad to hear you feeling so confident and motivated with your 6 AF days chalked up! Just keep on one day at a time and moment by moment reminding yourself of your goals. If I can cheer you on or hold your hand along the way I am glad to do so. xox

Hey Mama and KTAB!

Well, last night I was swimming in a real pool, and the tiki bar was just a little too close for comfort. Somehow a glass of wine got ordered. Duhhhh Me!

Its a new day folks, Im irritated I was weak, but lets just move on and jump back in!

Oh KTAB!!!! I think I might be in need of a rub down over this!

[Tabbers (a.k.a. KTAB)]

No more rub downs till I get my airbed back. Have those pesky asians been in the pool again?, still havent gotten over the bending of my snorkel yet.

It's just a good thing you aren't on the mountain climb. I'm sure someone would be messing with your pitons.

morning all...
spuddles---what knickers???
mama--yes some strong willed person I am...but I think alot has to do with finally letting go of things I cannot change and will always hurt with or without alcohol
mr. kt--I am sorry to hear you are struggling--you can have my air mattress I am feeling strong--I may need to have it back at some point though....btw wassa "lilo" air bed....I know a lady named lilo and I don't think she'd appreciate being yer bed...she's 70 something
I wasn't meaning to whine well wishers..well maybe a little....but thanks for coming out to the pool with encouragement.
22 laps ....splish splash
