Hi to all ODAT'ers

Beginning of day 4 and still feeling slightly tired but remain in a positive mood... busy day at work ahead and then have to start cleaning house later for guests arriving tomorrow to stay over night so today I will not drink otherwise the house will remain in a tip - no clean towels - no clean bedding - cat hair everywhere (on the otherhand at least they won't come back :H:H) Only kidding, have a great sober day everyone and keep smiling :l

hey panno,
well done on your "time".
i'm coming to the end of day 3.
had a bit of a meltdown re working stuff (see venting thread in gen disc!) but more importantly i don't feel like getting into the wine to make me feel better.
instead, this fantastic site called MWO was here, & all these great people read my ranting like a crazy :nutso: & responded with wisdom & care. so i'm feeling reasonably strong too.

i was gonna start the thread this a.m when i got up, but i reckon you should start them as our fearless leader!

Morning Panno and Beagle,

Day 5 for me. Let's see....I've reached day 5 about two times in the last two years.....so I'm excited, but it is also the my biggest downfall day. Not today....I'm not going to drink today....I'm going to make it to day six.

Beagle, I'm glad you are doing better and coming to MWO has really helped. We here have heard it all, done it all and understand everything you are going through. Hang in there with us!

Oops cross post...morning Spinning!

Hope you both have good days.

You're right Brights i reckon reading half the things on here makes my eyes pop,the other half i'm nodding in complete agreement,& the amazing posts made by some people make my head spin....then i feel a bit like a foolish dimwit but hey i'm getting over it. build a bridge as they say.
I am heading for day 4 tomorrow & not been in that territory for a very long time!

Hey Guys!!!

Your all doing just great! Getting close to a week for some of you!! Im proud of you all!

Having a rather bumpy start to my week, but still determined to stay strong. My son has started back to school and I am really enjoying having a schedule again (along with a little ME time too). I seem to be the type of person that does well with sticking to a schedule, I get into trouble when I dont!!

Lovely Fall weather here in Florida after many many rainy days. DONT YOU JUST LOVE FALL?????

Have a Sober Day everybody!! I am making a commitment right now to have one.

I love things to be very structured too Overit, it shits me when things go pear shaped & upsets my kharma i think!

I think for people like us Beagle, when we can have some structure and keep busy with things that can be a great help.

Now that my son is in school, and if I can get my own crap together, I am thinking of getting myself back into school, or a class, or something to keep my brain and body busy. Being busy, but not TOO busy I think is a great thing and a good way to live.

Have a great day and stay busy but not TOO busy!

Hey everyone,
Great successes her in all these real and important lives which are just beginning anew. Tonight is the end of my work week, since I now work part-time (starting a month ago). Definitely would have been a time for at least a couple glasses of wine, but not tonight. Thanks for being here and helping me strengthen my resolve. With this post I end the struggle for today.
