Sober NOvember Challenge

Good evening! How's everyone tonight? Molly, you must've had the day off,now we're all home and you are probably sleeping. Quite a time difference I'm sure! Anon, I wish I was in good shape like you and your running marathons! I have really been eating badly. It must be exchanging drinking for sugar right now. I need to knock it off right away! Well, work was really busy today. I had six haircolorings. Whew, but I was up to it. It sure is nice to feel good every day. Now I am back home and in front of my fire again. Heaven! It is below zero here today. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Have a great and relaxing weekend! Good Night! :cat::heart:

Morning Team November,

Well it looks as if Mrs Naggity Nag isn't needed today but here's the little reminder as a lot of peeps have already been over to the shout out thread.

Calculate duration between two dates ? results

Crikey,anon, you put me to shame, but me and Mr JC have started at last to use the Wii fit. When I say started we've plugged it in and played a few games so we're saying to each other we're just getting the hang of the controls then we'll start properly soon.

Good luck, anon, you'll be grand.

:goodjob: for choice 90 days is a real milestone

And a big yooooooooooo hooooooooo to the rest of Team November:l

Hi all, had a few cans last night, got to 4 weeks and thought fuck it, asked partner to pick me up some so he did and I drank em...
Feel disapointed with myself, i was doing better this time than in ages. I feel ok today I dont want to go back to the same ole same ole. I decided I need to find an aa meeting for fri and sat , there are some nearish to me and my daughters old enough to watch the kids for an hour or so , so I need to do that.

Limers, sorry you felt the need to do that (means you're still struggling mentally)?! Hope the AA meetings help. Guess you do want to be AF? Not sure - don't know your history but sending you peace and strength.

Limers, I have gone to a couple meetings lately and I always felt the need to confess, but they would always say "well now we have to shoot you" HA HA Nobody judges. Just go, you will feel better. The one I go to is mostly older men and they still understand. We are all cut out of the same cloth. Chin up!! And Molly, yea I am a hairdresser. One of those who doesn't change my hair very often. Maybe rainbow would be a cool change!
And I see where there will be a Blue Moon tonight, what does that mean? They said it is very rare.:wow3:

Been out shopping Limers so just saw your post - bloody drink - we think we're grand and wham, anyways you say you don't want it back in so 'whatever it takes' yeah? Have you been to AA before? I've never been, always feel a bit nervous at the thought but I do know and have promised myself and hubs that if I ever ever drink again that will be my first stop, so like you say, you know it is handy enough and if you don't have to get babysitter or anything - back on the wagon girl, my doc always says that obviously it's better not to drink but if you do be sure you learn something out of it to not go there again. Now get thee off to Harry Potter - reckon that's enough of a punishment for anyone

Hi Chooch and GH! Hope you're both havin a good day. I would love to have a hairdresser in the family GH - I alway know what I want done but it never looks anything like I want - Jill says I'm just useless at explaining myself, I think they want me to look like a 54 yr old (which I am) and I want to look like a 24 yr old

Sorry Limers bloody drink can ruin everything BUT do not let it as each time I have failed and drank as long as I got back on track quickly I managed to be stronger for the next battle.

GH I thought you had rainbow hair too. I am in awe of hair stylists. I am lucky my girls can do great things with my hair and when I want to look my age they will have none of it and get heavy with the straighteners.

Well my race was fab and the views were wonderful. It was really tough and I loved it. I had to leave as soon as the race finished because the group were all off to the pub and I just knew I would be tempted. Silly really cos the only reason I can do this running stuff is because I am not drinking!!

Hi Molly,choocie, JC and the rest of you lot have a great Sunday evening.

I BLOODY WON

Just looked at the results on the website and I came !st in my category. The presentation was in the pub so my prize is in the post!

Sober NOvember Challenge

Yeah I know that bit but my problem is that the pictures of the people who have the hair I want are usually of people who are 21, 8 st., blonde, with hair down to their arses

Evening Peeps

My goodness Sunday evening and I don?t know where the weekend has gone. Limers sorry to hear that you succumbed to the devil in a can, just get back on the wagon and make sure that it doesn?t happen again ? lecture over!!

I managed a long forest walk today, about an hour and a half and also an hour of yoga so I am feeling a bit pleased with myself. I?ve also managed to get to the bottom of the ironing basket so I am organised for work next week, I?m going to colour my hair tonight and give myself a manicure so I?ll be brand new.

I met some friends in a pub yesterday teatime and when I asked for a tomato juice said ?actually I haven?t had a drink in 3 months and feel fantastic? that raised a few comments and a discussion on why and on how much we all drink. I just said that I had a 30 day detox of healthy eating and no booze and felt so good afterwards I went on to do 60 days and now I?m just about at 3 months. I?m trying to lay the expectation with friends and family that I?m into a healthy lifestyle rather than tell folk how bad my drinking had become and that I?m an alkie.

Off to read the threads, hope everyone is well
