Right then, now let's get back on track for the whole purpose of this thread.

Another 14/15 days of February left. Sorry can't be more specific cos it's way after midnight here and time zones are a bit out.

Shall we do this RC.

"There definatley is a a grey area here where you belong, but you don't belong....hmmmmm." Judestir

I think this sums up how I was feeling. While this topic has possibly been uncomfortable I don't think it was a bad one to have. I'm thinking there really isn't a clear cut answer, and there doesn't need to be one. (I'll admit I did want one, but I think it was so that I could feel safe in how to respond to people who want to moderate and then slip and are upset ) I'm not sure weather to encourage them to go AF or to just keep trying to get control.. I'll have to figure that out OR just accept the fact that I just don't have an answer. I'll also have to re-read RC's post a few more times to understand it more. It does make since.

I have to admit though,,, as with most of Sheri's meditations they are so brilliant that I need to chew on them for a while, as most of them have light bulb moments attached. I have really found everyone's response to this topic very interesting. I do have to say that Molly is such a supportive member to this thread and very humble about her path, far from expecting perfection from anyone. I believe she was just expressing her thoughts in general about where to post in the forum, more as a helpful way for people to get support they need.

Dancingon, I really enjoyed reading your story about your first AF dinner and dancing. I'm finding that too, that if I just give myself a few min. I don't really even need the drink as much as I thought I did, and actually can really enjoy myself.

Well, my fiance gets on a plane in Auckland in about an hour to come and see me. We have been apart for almost 2 months now. He is 43 days sober and we are going out for our first Valentines day sober here in Mexico. It is going to take him around 20 hours total to get to were I am. I'm really excited to see how we get along without alcohol causing so much chaos in our relationship. We'll see I'm feeling hopeful :h

Choice, you must be excited. I hope it goes well for you. Have a plan in place and have a great time.

I slept on your remarks RC so that I could reply in a calm manner. I found it ironic, to put it mildly that you would respond to my posts in such a fashion.
1/ I categorically stated that anything I said was NEVER aimed at someone who 'slipped', as one who has publically and honestly stated here on 2 different occasions that I have 'slipped' that would be extraordinarily dishonest and uncaring if I had said that. I repeat, this place is precisely where people who slip should be, if we were all "AF and successful" I can't see why any of us would be here?
2/ I also find it a bit strange that the author of 'with respect, moderators only' should condemn me for suggesting that maybe those who are attempting to moderate should maybe - I repeat maybe, consider posting in the moderation threads while moderating.

I have thoroughly enjoyed this thread for many months and have encountered fabulous people, who I consider allies and friends and more support for me anyway than I can say. I in no way consider those who wish to moderate lesser people - on the contrary, if they can manage it I am full of admiration and in the nicest way envious. I will miss posting here - very much, but as my posts have been misinterpreted, I will move on for the sake of the lovely folk here who do not need aggro. on this great thread.

Will see you all around on other threads, and for heavens sake girls - keep doing what you are doing - it is working:l

Evening all,

I'm saddened with the way things have turned out on this thread, however I am going to sit on the fence with this one and ask everyone who wants to to keep going till the end of February focussing on being AF. A lot of folk have come a long way and it would be a shame to lose that momentum.

I still have times when I have cravings and times when thoughts of drinking jump into my head so I need the support of all of you, each of these monthly threads have kept me on track from the Sober September thread onwards.

Lets keep going, what do you say?

Dewdrop :h

I promised to post at the end of the month come hell or high water and I'm going to do it! It helps alot to post with people who have the same goals and going through the same problems so let's keep this thing positive and encouraging.

Still here on day 52 looking forward to rest of an AF February and on to Spring. Everything is upside down better now. I accomplish so much in a day now as I don't put off things I just do them. I had no idea how much of my time and life I wasted before since I get so much done now before I used to even get up out of bed. Hope there are still a few flyers left out there.

[JackieClaire]

Can't wait for Spring,myself.

52 days is a fantastic achievement, allswell. :goodjob:
