ODAT saturday 14th August

[Little Owl]

I was doing well. It was day 5. Very busy day at work, but not stressed. I weighed myself. I keep putting weight on. I'm taking thyroxine. I looked on the internet and lots of people were saying they just can't stop putting weight on while taking thyroxine even though they exercise. I don't know if its the thyroxine or the underactive thyroid or getting older or sitting in an office all day. I'm not overweight but I've always been slim and I will be overweight if it doesn't stop. So I was angry and fed up when I got home.

My daughter was staying over. We are going shopping today. I was a little stressed that I won't have any time to myself this weekend (to carry on decorating!) but happy to spend time with her. She had put a bottle of wine in the fridge. I had two small glasses, so did she, my husband had the rest. He has a big wine glass. He went to buy us another one. My daughter and I drank that while watching a film.

I fell asleep in front of the tv. We tried to watch a second film but were both tired. This morning I have a headache, I'm tired, and angry with myself. All my strength and resolve from last saturday have gone.

Oh well, back to day one not square one as I read on someone's post recently.

How is everyone else doing that was on day one on monday? Better than me I hope.

I guess I didn't buy it myself, didn't drink in secret, thats better than I have done in the past.

ODAT saturday 14th August

Morning Little Owl

That could have been me!! I am on day 6 but I have to admit day 4 & 5 have been such a struggle, I really had to dig deep last night and to be honest had somebody come round with a bottle of wine........well you know what would have happened. Have you told your daughter your not drinking? My weight is a problem to me but at the moment I'm putting that aside for now, if I need to eat stodge sobeit, I seem to be swapping the AL for carbs!!

Got my two little grand kiddies here this morning so I'm so glad no hangover lol

Well must get back to them, hope today a better one for us both :l

ODAT everyone to come, have a great day, keep busy is the motto

Luv P xx

hey there - don't beat yourself up/really look at what triggered you to drink, learn fro mit and move on.
I am on day 2 af here after visit to parents(2 glasses wine and 2 whiskys - hate whisky)

putting on bands tonight - i am af today - lots of organising to do and am gonna drive there and back(I'm sure not to drink then!)

injured self at roller derby practice yesterday - landed really heavily on left leg and can't walk properly(I have high pain threshold and fall a lot - but ouch!!!)had to crawl off track on hands dragging self off.Mate thinks it's a dead leg(he does martial arts and it's common in that - should be better by tomorrow - bloody hope so!)
Bring on the ibuprofen max!

I feel so much better alcohol free and want to stay that way - I need to focus one day at a time at the moment.I also need to stop social smoking - I change from doing both /quitting both to thinking stopping both at same time is too much.Today I am AF and NF - I want to get better at my sport and that's one cheap/great way of doing it (oh, and not landing on my ass!).

Looking back at my lapses/when I am tempted it's always about fitting in - I need to strengthen my personal boundaries/accept myself.
Anyway - ramble ramble - not been able to post for a bit.
Good day all and see you tomorrow- will look at forum on phone but can't post today
