    ODAT FRI 11th JUNE

    Hello Day 5! What a fantastic surprise to wake up fresh, no shame or guilt, energetic! Well, last night was hard. But, I had a few one-on-ones with myself, and decided, once through this, Day 4 will NEVER, EVER mess with my mind! So, Day 4 done and dusted, bring on the World Cup! Advice? I posted here on Monday, titled Loosing my mind, I can just let it go now? I like it here! :happyheart:

    Happy ODAT Friday for all of us!

    Good on you Amber. You'll be right now. I'm on day eleven, just gets easier. Not only that, think of the money saved. I've spent my savings on a new compter printer and some pyjamas. Wife has done likewise, new underwear, a jersey and lunch out with her best girlfriend. I'm so chuffed I can hardly believe it.
    I know I'm a beginner and many others are well ahead...they are an inspiration. If they can I sure as hell can too.
    Next stop is a new computer, should take about two months...I love getting free stuff.
    Works for me anyhow. I'm a terrible mean Scot.

      Hi Ambergold and Bluey

      Youre doing great Amber, Day 5, and glad you like it here
      Bluey - wow, now thats a savings, glad you and your wife treated yourselves.

      I am day 14 today, new territory for me. Never ever made it past day 11. Good news is it is getting easier, down side is it is easier on any day but Friday....Friday is my drinkin' day. Not anymore...Friday is going to be celebrate in another way day. Movies, no socialising yet, too risky. Got some icecreams and the kids and I will stay in for a movie night. Want to take them to see Shrek 3D - final chapter, but bit exxy. Saving to go to Qld in few weeks

      Have a great Friday, see you all hangover free tomorrow

        Great work Amber and Blue! Day 7 here and I'm getting a bit strung out. I think I've had too much coffee during the course of the day. Spent 5 hours in a tavern last night and will again tonight. Working in a bar band - not there to drink. I sure was able to draw motivation from the patrons in the place last night and I will again tonight.

          Good morning Amber and Blue Heeler. It does get easier. Im day 15 now and feeling good. The next few weeks will be a challenge as hubby will be drinking (moderately) whilst watching the footy! The money saved is a good insentive. For me its the weight lost and how healthy I feel I go to the gym a lot and AL gets in the way of that. So off to the gym this am and will be drinking diet coke tonight. Have a good AF weekend to all.

            Hi Amber, Bluey, Gertrude, Woywoy and Spinning

            Fantastic on all your achievments you are doing so well :goodjob:

            Back to day 1 for me though, I could blame it on the fact a friend was calling or I could blame it on the fact my daughter telephoned to say she is expecting (her third and no money and a waste of space fella!!) but I can't its all down to me!! I'm ok with it as I know I have come along way since I joined here, I just somehow really have to find the strength to get to 30 days

            Hi to everyone yet to come :l

              Well done Gertrude. What an achievement keep it going. I started off with you on this Af journey but slipped back but am now back on track. It is a mental thing with me so need to PLAN. How is the running Gertrude? I find that exercise is my "healthier" addiction and has probably warded off much of the damage many years of drinking would have done. However, I have missed so many races or come way down the field when I had been bingeing. I feel great today and like you will give socialising a miss .
              Good luck to you all and happy Friday!

                      :wavin::bigwink: Good morning from a cloudy Dublin. Don't know where the sun has gone but at least its dry. Irish weather you can't depend on it. Well i'm on day 16 and it does get easier. long time since i made it past day 7 or 8. I'm going to another AA meeting this evening at 8.30 need to keep myself on track. Well done to all on your af days and anyone that slipped just put behind you and start over. I've been on day 1 so many times i thought i would never be able to break free of the cycle but i'm here to give it my best odat. Weekends were always tougher but its just another day and its good to wake refreshed without a hangover. Been drinkng too much coffee but i'll work on that as time goes on and also the chocolate but right my priority is to stay af. I'm planning to get back into power walking this weekend as have few bs to shift minly due to drinking, plus it will get out and about and take my mind off the demon drink lol. Anyway stay safe and have a lovely weekend. :heartsnflowers:

                        Morning all! Have a day off work today so am just saying hello and will check in later. Cheer up Panno, back on the wagon - family hassles can really unsettle us can't they? I've had a few in the last few weeks and the 'thought' has a horrible way of coming to mind!!
                        Well done everyone, sounds like we are doing well, Friday can be tricky so lets be diligent!!!

                          Mollyka - Yes Friday can be tricky! Just had a friend call in with some drinks and I said I didn't feel like drinking. It was hard! Then I had to apologise for being boring but she was really good about it. Oh the temptation!

                          Anon - couldn't get my oomph for running today, did extra on the treadmill brisk walking. God a mild headcold, will try again tomorrow. I'm very new to the running. Along way off being able to "go for a run" as such like you can. It is a goal I have though and being AF will help me get there.

                          Enjoying a ginger beer now.

                            Well done on resisting the wine--Enjoy the ginger beer Gertrude. I started off on the treadmill also about 12 years ago and thought running would be impossible. just think as you live in Oz you have nearly got another day under your belt. here in the Uk the witching hour has yet to come

                              Good Morning ODAT'rs!!!

                              WOW! Was thinking what a PLEASANT SURPRISE to see all the newbies on here and jumping on board!!! So many of you I do not know too well, but I am looking forward to watching all of your success as you spread your wings and fly! (awww)

                              Seems like so many of you are off to a fabulous start! Im so proud of all of you!!

                              When I did 30 days a couple of months ago, my personal ticket was getting to one week. After I hit the one week mark, it just got so much easier! There were several of us that all hit the 30 day mark, and one thing we ALL said was that how fast the time flew by!

                              You newbies are MY inspiration, because I really need to get back on board too!!! So thank you for your determination and you newbies can teach the old timers some new tricks.

                              God Bless,

                              Overit
                              I LOVE MY SEROTONIN AND BOOZE SCREWS IT UP!!!!!
