Afternoon Jumpers!

Okay, so Blonde, you ARE baking banana bread, right? Lol!! That was funny, Rebirth! I also think it's cool you have dual citizenship.

My DH loves banana bread and I was just thinking that adding coconut and the banana chips must make it taste great! Hmmmm...Good work on not drinking and letting your husband know! I keep trying to work with mine on the NEVER part as well. Like you said, ODAT!

Have a great evening all!

Hey blonde...when I did actions a while back I got so sick around the end of second week that I had time off work. I felt like I had the flu, it was very bizarre. Bit I think that's most likely to be your culprit!!

Hello my other beanie friends. When need to have a think about what we are going to do for feb. X

Love to see January go! It is nothing but cold. At least here it can be freezing, but the sun shines anyway. That's why we like it here I suppose! Love the sunshine! It's been a good weekend and a good day. Hope everyone is happy today! GH:danthin::sun:

Good evening Jumpers! I had a great day at work and then we had an after work going away party for one of our employees who is moving away, we are really going to miss her. There was wine there (even my fav...red!) but I didn't have a drop. Brought some water with me instead. It wasn't a drinking type of party though but I still feel good about myself that I didn't even consider having any. Tomorow is day 18 and I'm really happy about that.

I am feeling much better today (no headache)...thanks for everyone's feedback. I am back on my old contacts so if I wake up with a headache tomorrow, I will blame it on the detox for AL. We'll see. Going to bed in a moment after I finish this post and I feel fine right now. Tired, but good.

Can't believe we are almost to the end of January. I'll look for the Feb thread...this has been one of my daily rituals to come on this thread, and a few others specifically.

Choice, sounds like you are quite the workout fanatic...that is great! I workout about 3 times a week but I also walk (fast walk) about a half hour a day or more, weather depending nowadays!

Happy-It is fridgid where I am too. At least we have the sun to energize us! Hi to Rebirth, Cassia, Jenny, Mylife and everyone else on the jumping train. We're moving fast to the end of the month and doing such a great job. I love life being AF!

I heard Black Swan was kind of dark and weird, but you never know. It has been doing very well at the box office soooo.... Enjoy your evening out Firefox.
Yesterday was 3 weeks Af for me. Yeah!!

Blonde was it you who was doing Atkins? If so, how is that going? I have been on again off again low carb for years and am thinking of giving it a go again. I am thinking of just cutting out the grains, bread, potoatoes, pastas etc...and sticking with proteins and fruits and veggies. I am not into measuring and counting, but more into changing the food I consume. I have only lost 2 pounds in my three weeks AF and that does not seem right. I have about 30 to lose. I exercise and I do not eat to excess, if anything I don't eat enough espcially on the days I do a spin class. So any info you guys have, especially on the whole wine/sugar connection would be great.

I also have been doing a detox (tea) twice a day over the past week and even that doesn't really seem to be getting things moving.......if you get my drift. My body is not responding the way I thought it would.

Have a super dupper great AF Day Jumpers.
I'll check back later.

Hi Jumping beans

ooohh Banana bread..... i absolutely love it!

how about after all the jumping you go "Flying through February"

I have been going through a really difficult few weeks and even after this long, the little voice sometimes tries to say "oh a bottle of wine would be just great to relax and forget your troubles for a while" but it is just a little voice and within a few minutes the thought has gone.

Just wanted to say for those experiencing slight hangover feelings, this could be dehydration so make sure you are drinking enough water. Since quitting I have more of a sweet tooth than I ever did before and if I have too much sugar I suffer from serious headaches the next morning. Just a thought.....

Hello Jumpers!

Okay, I've had banana bread on the brain since yesterday! I think I'm going to bake a loaf tonight to get it out of my system!! It's supposed to be storming outside tonight so that will be a good thing to do this evening!

Chill, I like Flying, I could "Fly" through February. I've been struggling mentally myself lately, trying to decide if I could mod or not eventually. That ***%#! little voice keeps saying I really didn't have that much of a problem -- and it didn't affect my life too much, but internally I know...it was a problem.

Oh well, ODAT, and the voice will fade away eventually!

Hope you all have a great AF day!

I have this feeling inside me that i'm not sure i can acuratly put into words,
I'm glad I'm am alcoholic, because now i understand I cant ever drink again, that i need to be AF for the rest of my life, & I dont think that is a bad thing, I am happy, I am activly making changes & choice's for my life & happiness.
I can wake up early in the morning & enjoy a beautiful sunrise, I can even be woken up in the middle of the night (crazy cats) & not endure that heart pounding anxiety & self loathing, I can decide to go to a movie 10 mins before it starts & not worry about DUI. (no that I ever drank & drove, but admit to feeling abit nervous some mornings given the state of my hangover) I can come on here & say I am having a Sh*&%ty day & people are here for me, I can come on here & say I managed to surf a craving & people are full of support & offer their own means of avoiding the trap, as a support, I can come on here & vent & people let me, (my mother is of the opionion that "you dont talk about anything that might look bad) I have the rest of my life to look forward to, and it will be my life, not one lived thu a chemically induced haze.
There is such freedom inaceptance, I know I may struggle with cravings, but they are only in my head, Im no longer physically in any danger from any kind of withdrawall, and i really didnt suffer from, WD's but before I stoped, I would worry about it so i kept drinking, now to me that is the defination of crazy, this is a kind of stream of conciousness ramble, but I feel like this feeling is bursting out of me & i am trying to get it down to explain how greatfull I am that I have no choice, that i canot drink again,
I cant explain it, words can not do justice to the feeling I have right now.
to everyone, i hope you are having a fabulous day/night, you have all been an inspiration to me.
