    Sober October Challenge!

    Hi everyone, this is a busy thread! JC, I'm sorry to hear your daughter isn't feeling well - at least she is home and you can mind her for a bit x Choochie - you both have a lot to deal with there - I hope your husband is doing okay? My Dad had major surgery 2 years ago on his intestines too, it was very tough for him and mum for a long while to learn to deal with it, but he is doing much better now. Anon - fair play on the 10 miles - mucho respect!! I could barely run 10 steps Dewdrop - have a great time at the party. Speaking of shopping - yesterday I discovered that I was able to convince self that the 3 for 2 offer on moisturisers and body scrubs in Boots was a "necessity", and therefore could be justified. As was the mascara I bought today (seriously - that is crucial ) Spinning - that is so cool you're going to the same band again! I went to Pearl Jam in June, and although it was the first time I saw them, I think I brought along my 16 year old self inside, who was very excited!

    Molly, there will be no dates next Saturday night, I can assure you I am meeting him in Kilkenny tomorrow morning and we're going to the castle first, then we'll see what to do after that. I took my first steps as a baby in the ballroom of the castle, so I can't wait to see it again! We're going out for something to eat in the evening, and probably to the pub. I'm not worried about being tempted by AL, to be honest. I am a little nervous about seeing him, but am trying to see it as just two friends hanging out together - I've honestly known him so long that I don't know if we would ever get together - I don't know if either of us would brave it, and I don't know what he thinks! So, I must be sure to do my relaxation/meditation stuff tonight and in the morning so that I'm not hyper

      Aww Choochie, How sad for you.:l

      You're so right if we fall back into the bad old days of drowning in a bottle, but we'd be no use to man nor beast in a crisis.

      I'll keep you informed about the daughter, thank you so much for you healing wishes.
      It could be worse, I could be filing.

        Neart - Yes, my husband is recovering very well, thanks! Just keeping fingers and toes crossed for no new cancer.

          Hello all my cyber-friends, I have been reading back and am struck by what a successful bunch we all are!
          JC, so sorry to hear your daughter isn't well. Mind her and mind yourself won't you? Bloody drink does call when we are challenged doesn't it!
          Neart, good luck with the date - love Kilkenny castle, had a lovely weekend in Kilkenny last year, surrounded by Welsh people supporting Wales in Rugby except Wales weren't playing in Ireland, never really grasped that bit?
          Choochie, you've had a very rough time you poor girl! Hopefully you've been through the worst now:l
          Peace, Dewdrop, Enja, Witchy (great to see you back you 'dirty stop-out' you:H), Anon, how do you run so far? Like Neart, I couldn't run for a bus!!
          Hope you're all doing well - another nice sober weekend - after a few of them it becomes normal doesn't it! Am going to the pictures tomorrow 'Social Network' I think 'he who must be obeyed' called it:H, then out to dinner, will check in later

            Just to clarify...it's not a date!!!!!!!!!! It is simply two friends meeting up to hang out for a while, and I just may think he's a bit nicer than a friend, but it is not actually a date!!!!!!!

            ps I hear The Social Network is really good

                I am now levitating I am so cross. Hubs having a bottle of red wine, we had a beautiful dinner, great chat and then I went upstairs to get into PJ's and when I come down he has spilt a huge glass of red wine all over everything including two huge big expensive library books that were on the table, I just snapped at him and came straight upstairs, I just feel so ANGRY, and I KNOW it was an accident - I can't understand why I'm not calming down, just glad I came up here and came straight on to the site and nothing else!
                Sorry for moaning

                        Halfway through the month now and I hope we're all doing great, I just haven't had time to log in here, or if I have had time, I just haven't had the energy to come online and actively post...

                        46 days sober for me I say sober as after having those two glasses of wine a few weeks ago I can't say AF.... still can't decide if I'm a little p'd that I had them but then again they made me realise how fragile things are on that front, I'm not beating myself up over it though.

                        Last few days have been so hard and cravings so strong, but I've refused to cave in and have that one.... Went to the chip shop earlier for my son and on autopilot as my mind was else where went into the wine shop next door, automatically picked up a bottle of wine and headed for the counter with it got half way across the shop before I realised what I was doing, which woke me up a little, wtf was I doing there, anyway swopped it for a huge bar of Turkish Delight which I've demolished in one go..

                        Anyway stay strong all and we'll soon be adding yet another day to our total
                        AF since 31/08/2010... every day the AF total gets bigger...



                        So do you drink Lee? .... Actually no I don't Jeff........

                          Design, nice to meet you. I'm new here but just wanted to say hi. I've been eating a lot of Gummi Bears, drinking lemon water and taking L-Glut. Sending you lots of support and hugs.

                            I second that - amen! And also to everyone else who may not have gotten a mention - I am terrible remembering names x I've been thinking the same thing the past few days - the support here and love is phenomenal, and I am constantly amazed by it. For a little group of people who've never met to stick together and help each other out the way people here on MWO do, is truly amazing. Love to you all :l
