    Sober NOvember Challenge

    Hey Fuzzy and welcome. Generally AF means zero alcohol, but there are people on the site who moderate, I think if you're on Baclofen there are special 'meds' threads, and people can advise you better - I'm afraid I know nothing about it. Post anywhere you feel comfortable and happy tho

      Sober NOvember Challenge

      Morning everyone, great to see all seem to be so happy and doing so well. Nearly another month done folks - we are doing so well!

      I'm off for the weekend and am looking forward to doing very little or even nothing!! Hubs is working so no need to be socialble or anything! I miss having family coming up to this time of the year. Most of you know, my Mum died a couple of years ago and I haven't had any contact with my sisters or their families since. I don't miss them personally - they are 2 out and out bitches, but I feel a bit 'orphaned' - ridiculous for a woman in her 50's I know.
      Anyways, going to explore the site and will report in later

        Sober NOvember Challenge

        Hi Molly, I have two selfish bints of sisters that I have decided to cut out of my life cos their toxic energy is all consuming. I got a text from one of them when my son got expelled , a duty text saying 'if you need to talk'. Like she meant it, if I rang her i would be told to ring some other time or patronised or made feel less than! Felt like texting her back 'fuck off and die, BiAtch' but I refrained.:H
        Anyhow, I have thought alot about it lately , wondering if its bad for the kids or even me , am I been bitter, yada yada yada but the truth is, I AM better off without them in my life, its a decision ive made to have nothing more to do with them and im happier that way. I get on very well with one of my bros and that will do for me.
        Anyway, taking my mum to get a cateract removed and then do a bit of shopping. Kids are going to a cusion on thier dads side birthday party in the stix so will be out all day so I will have some quiet time here later and watch x factor, tomorrow is a christmas fair at 9.30 am and then Harry Potter!!!
        (how the feck do you spell cousion ! everytime I try to get it right a poxi red line shows up underneath!!!!!)

            Hey everyone - Happy Saturday! Day 20 for me and I am so excited!

            Limers - totally hear you about toxic people! I have two brothers and two sisters. I only speak to two of them. For the two I don't speak to, one sister dove into a vat of vodka and never came up for air and the one brother is Satan. Nuff said, right? lol. You can pick your nose, pick your friends, but you can't pick your family!

                  Good Morning Challengers - feeling fantastic (AGAIN)! after an amazing night's sleep. Still can't believe how well I'm sleeping -- so thankful.

                  Limers, Just wanted to say that I too had a crazy brother and had to stop communicating with him because he would have ruined my life. Sounds like your sisters are just bitches. I think my brother actually was demented (I blame it on a lifetime of drugs and alcohol). Sometimes I really believe it's ok not to speak to family members - that we absolutely shouldn't have to suffer if they are impossible to deal with. They just take us down with them!

                  Molly - I hear what you're saying about feeling orphaned. Almost all my family is gone. It feels worse around the holidays for sure.

                  Wagon - excellent on day 20. You are sounding so strong - really happy for you!

                  Dew - I can really relate to how much more we accomplish sober. And the difference in getting through the day is incredible - enjoying it versus struggling through it with a hangover. So thankful to have happened upon sobriety!! I never pictured myself as a nondrinker - it was such a huge part of my life (actually became my life - sad). Now I beginning not to be able to picture myself as a drinker!!

                  Anon, Neart, Oney, GH, Mr. G., hi to all of you guys - and others who visit here today.

                  Have a wonderful Sober day everyone.

                    OK lads, I reckon you'all have real good social lives or you have 'dirty little secrets' WHERE ARE YOU ALL ALL DAY??? I am pissed off, lonely and now Ireland have just lost the rugby - bloody hell, I'd nearly go to Harry Potter ---nearly

                      Hey there Molly! :l Sorry your feeling lonely. I hate that feeling. Funny thing is I didn't know that's what I was feeling when I drank before. For an odd reason I thought having my wine at those times meant I was independent and could enjoy my own company. I didn't "need" anybody and somehow felt empowered. What a trick that relationship I had with wine was. Wagon Congrats on the 20 days!!! I think the first 30 are such a huge milestone. I feel like it gets easier for me now reaching 90 days, but it's a whole other kind of challenge, I shouldn't say "easier" just different. I believe Choochie posted an article about post withdraw that I am finding VERY interesting... I have to go back and read the rest. Neart, yeah... I'm noticing hormones more then I ever have without AL in my life. I'm positive they had a major impact on my drinking cravings, and affected how drunk, or how hungover, depressed I got before. Now they just really rack on my ability to remain logical. I get so fired up and upset... it's like clock work with the calender now. Getting happy you do sound so much happier now Dewdrop, I know what you mean about being sober on Friday nights, I LOVE it. There is a pub across the street from my house and I could hear all of the socializing last night... sounded fun. I know it would all just be a blur for me though and paying the piper the next day would make the whole thing a huge flop. Peace, I'm happy your still AF but I think it's so realistic and honest to consider moderation, I too can not grasp the concept of never and forever. It sounds like a fairy tale. I'm just going to stick with what I'm doing and work towards sobriety everyday... some days more vigilant then others. Whew! don't mean to miss anyone in my novel!! Thanks for listening

                        I am celebrating Liverpool winning the footie at long last. Ireland losing at rugby is a pain but it is only a game!!

                          Hurrah Choice - I'm not on my own anymore!! Yep, the ol wine and voddie were my bessie mates for a long time alright. Have to say I found today very long. First day I've had all to myself for a long time, daughter's gone home and hubs at work and son out. Didn't want to drink but was a bit bored. Tormenting everyone here on all threads!! Even made a cake out of boredom, anyway am grand but if the 'drinking urges' were still there I could well see where the temptation would have crept in today.
                          Hope all you folks are having a nice sober weekend
                          Molly

                            Just watching Liverpool highlights at the moment, daughter and BF were heading out in Canada to watch it when she rang this morning - funny little world isn't it!!
                            Best of luck tomorrow with the run - Sheffield was it? We'll be waiting for the winning photos again!! I'll say my 'mammy prayers' for you

                              Best of luck Anon with your marathon, I am so impressed by your fitness!!!

                              Molly, some days are SO long!!! Good for you on making a cake, I think I might get myself in the kitchen and do something more then just the basics myself. I really feel for you today, as I live so far away from family and love and miss them so much. I sometimes get scared when I feel sad about this (because of being newly sober) but I try to remind myself that it is OK and normal. On a side note, I'm half Canadian from Toronto area. Is that where your daughter lives? I think I remember you posting that. :l

                                Yep Choice, she's in Toronto alright, and she loves it, still calls Ireland home tho!!
                                I'm grand, was just a bit bored, am heading to bed with my book in a few mins so will see all tomorrow. Bloody well done on the 90 days, that really was the turning point for me - just couldn't see myself going back from there - good job
