Good on you Gettinhappy! The days will fly now and turn into weeks! Why is your hubs cranky? My hubs spent his life being cranky, not sure now if he has mellowed with age or he's so relieved to have me sober, but he's turned into a sweetheart - it's definitely the best part of where I'm at at the moment!!
Choice, the tears were good - not rational - but good, I feel great now and gonna get all poshed up for the airport. The exercise still bores me - I can do the breathing tho!! Don't like cats, sorry everyone!! Love my chickens tho
Talk later

Happy Friday All! It is chilly and rainy here in Pennsylvania. Fall has officially arrived. I am on day five and feel great. Thankful to be back here and getting the support I was missing. Busy weekend ahead. Taking my eldest (16) to see a...gulp...college this weekend. Holy crap. I am far too immature to have a college age child. Young at heart though Busy weekend thankfully - no time to even think about getting my ill-fated box of Chardonnay or Cab. Actually it doesn't sound very good to me, but then again it's 5:15 am here. Come 6 pm my brain may be feeling different. I will do my best to stay AF though! Hope you are all well and have a great day!

Hi All,

Molly, enjoy every single second with your daughter.

Nice to hear everyone is keeping strong and feeling great. I am really feeling amazing, physically and emotionally. My husband even said something last night that I just looked happier like I had a glow about me.

I haven't had a drinking dream lately and I haven't had triggers, just accepted that I am a non drinker and LOVING IT!!!!!

Real busy weekend coming up so will be back Monday -it's great to make plans knowing they will happen. Like you Choice, during my last month of drinking I had to cancel an appt on a Monday because I was too hungover to drive :blush: Happy that is a non issue now. I equate AL with feeling like crap, I am treating it as an allergen.

Take care my friends and have a wonderful sober weekend :h

Morning everybody,

Day 20 for me and feeling a little off; a combination of a few things I guess. I hope this feeling doesn't last all day but I absolutely refuse to give in and go get a bottle of my favourite red wine that I normally get on a Friday. Habits are a bitch to break, but I'm not going to let it break me.

I hope you're all well and staying the course!

Mollyka- I'm glad your husband is better. I'm sure it's a change for mine to have a sober wife as he always had one up on me because I was feeling guilty and would never argue about anything. Limers- I love the word fecker and if he doesn't get over his moods I may opt use it now and then :H Wagoneer- I am the picture of overprotective mom, so if I can get used to my son being away to college, so can you! Now he is playing college basketball so it's really exciting. Besides, if they never leave home they will never get married and have us any grandkids right?

Well, here if to day 7, which is really a whole week already. I'm not to worried about the weekend since we are traveling to a game and wouldn't have time to sneak drinks even if I wanted to ( which I don't!! I am feeling way too good!:yay

Thanks everyone for a great week. This has made the difference for me. I feel so much stronger with so many friends behind me!:h Love, GH

Good morning everyone!

Day 5 here and feeling good. I had the urge last night for a good bottle of Merlot but went out to the gym and dinner with my 10 year old daughter. She has known nothing but a mom with every excuse in the world to break a promise over a big portion of her life. I REFUSE to give in and if I make it through today (which I will), it will be my longest stretch in 4 plus years. Thanks again for everyone posting; it gives me so much hope and the power of faith in numbers. I will stay in touch and congratulations to all of us that are staying AF!!!!!!!

Ilovelife!

Good morning all!

Sounds like everyone is in positive spirits for this AF Friday! Good job Getting on day 7!! I was worried about meeting with an old friend of mine this weekend for dinner and how to avoid drinking wine without having to explain that I have a drinking problem...and the problem solved itself. She called and suggested lunch instead as she has some things to take care of later which is great! Iced tea is a great option at lunch!

Hope everyone enjoys an AF weekend. Have a gret day!

Good Morning Sober November Challengers - feeling fantastic and just checking in.

Oney - I'm actually getting A LOT from the "Wake Up" thread. Please don't regret posting it because to me it's excellent. The "bickering" doesn't bother me at all. I think it's a feisty debate and that it's helping me understand how to respond to others.

Peace, BB, ICan, Iful, GH, Firefox, Wagoneer, SJ, Molly, Limers, Dew, Choice, Jackie, Neart, Anon (wow, lots of people here) - so glad to be in your company for this November Challenge.

Have a super AF Friday everyone,

Hugs,
Choochie:groupluv:

When I was on Weight Watchers I would just have to say I'm out of points so I can't have a dring right now! How easy. Nobody ever questioned that, so why wouldn't that work all the time?? Then they will think that you are so together that you aren't driniking AND you are on a diet plan-double jealousy!
