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

Hey OverIt....no drinking today. I was doing just fine with the one last night but went ahead and opened another and drank much of it except what I spilled. Yes, I'm bummed out too. Disappointed in myself. There was no need. Did it just cuz I could.

I see you've been on MWO for two years now. Have you been trying to moderate all this time? You'll know when the time is right to take Antabuse.

Hello lovely ladies, RC & Overit you guys are not dumb. It is how our brains are wired, mores the pity.
Ok I want to see you both in the pool asap, shallow end is fine for starters. Then we can do a few gentle lengths, nobody is going to sink to the bottom while I am around.
Coco get the massage table out will ya and K9 are you sure you want me to try a pedicure, never done one before, but sure I am game if you are.

Hi Overit and RC ~
Sorry you are both overcoming obstacles, I know HOW hard it is! You both have mentioned Antabuse, are either one of you seriously considering it? I sound like a broken record, but I have now been on it for 54 days. I'll be happy to help or answer any questions if I can. Hang in there ladies!

Hey Ringing! I drank last night too, just cuz. I reach for a drink without a thought in the world, and end up paying for it later, every single time.

I cannot moderate, my goal all this time was to just be a non drinker and an inspiration to all the others on here. To be a success with this! But yet I keep failing. I did 30 days not too long ago, and now have no idea how I did it. I do remember being really happy though not drinking.

K-9 has had huge success with antabuse, Johnny too. Im getting to the point of just doing it too!

So, how do you think you want to progress with yourself? I see we are both bummed out today!

Hi K-9. YES, I am considering the Antabuse! I cannot take it today though, alcohol in my system and I am not thinking all that clearly today. See all my crazy posts LOL! head all over the place today.

I was telling Ringing I took out my calendar from last year. Its like the exact same patterns keep repeating themselves. 2 to 3 days sober, then a drink. 2 or 3 days sober, then a drink. For YEARS NOW! I have to break this freaking pattern.

Thank for listening and being there both of you. Its ME who sounds like the broken record!

Oh HI KTAB, didnt see your post. Thanks for the encouragement friend!

Overit are you ok?

Hey KT....you're a good man. Thanks for checking up on us and caring.
K9 I haven't mentioned the antabuse, just that OverIt has some and has been considering it. I watched movie not too long ago with Jane Fonda. Her daughter took antabuse. I was the first I'd heard of it. I don't think I will go that route. But never say never, right?
OverIt I'm still looking to moderate, but time will tell. I have been feeling fantastic in the last few weeks overall and don't think I will go back to the episodic drinking habits I had developed.

Ok friends....doing the back float. I can do it without movement. Cool huh!!

Yes, KTAB I am fine. Thank you for asking. I feel alot better now than I did earlier today. Just that feeling of disappointment can drag me down so. I think I will go outside and take a nice walk, that always helps put things into perspective.

I plan on being full of fire and energy tomorrow and ready to be the one ready to pull anyone up who needs it.

Overit, I posted some of my story last night. Have a read of it if you get a chance, I feel you might recognise some of it. Dont ever give up eh.

Thanks Ringing! You Too! Right back up.

I know the difference a day makes. Thats why I have never considered suicide in my life, I know that sometimes the world seems dark and hopeless, but then the next day Im singing in the shower loving life! And when I am not recovering from the effects of alcohol, I really am a pretty happy person!

So.. lets go girl

Where can I read your story at KTAB? Would love to read it! Right after my walk

I read it KT. Thanks for sharing it. I especially loved Oney's comment to you. It gave me goosebumps as someone else said. I've never been good at reaching out for help as I'm too damned independent. It's probably why I got myself into a problem with alcohol. Isolating when things get tough.

You seem like a happy person OverIt and loving and encouraging too. Thank you for encouraging me.:l

Oney has been a pillar of strength to me since I first arrived here. Glad you read it, it does help to put our inner most feelings about this down in black and white.
