Good monring/afternoon everyone, looks like it's going to be another sunny day here!

Off to do some food shopping this morning after defrosting the freezer yesterday, what an exciting like I lead:H But all with the a clear head, which is more important. I feel 'OK' about going near the alcohol area to get some soft drinks, but will do that straight off, so I don't have to think about it, then concentrate on buying some nice things!

Wishing another wonderful AF April Wednesday.

Hi DSLR and mylife!!!

Yes, birthday can be a good reason and point of reference for new lifestyle

Was very hard Day 2..physically ok but in afternoon i get very irritated, angry and unsatisfied with whole life..i shouldn't..tried to do everything - went to expensive sushi bar instead of calming myself with wine..walked, went to shop..finally screamed on my poor daughter:upset:
Now it's getting better so i have to apologize her..she knows why i'm reacting like this..she knows about MWO and my al problem..about my Days, food, mood etc.
I'm sorry for her but she knows that i love her very much and tomorrow will be loving and caring..

Sad that our beloved ones are influenced too..

Wishing you a peaceful evening!!!

Hey all - my birthday is May too - end of May though, maybe we can all have great presents to oursleves - waking up with a clear head and a big smile!
Driving to work yesterday found myself singing loudly (its ok - windows were closed ) - and smiling - never do that in the mornings when i am struggling thru haze of fog in head and berating myself for finishing the bottle again! I am liking the mornings so much, just need to get to enjoy the evenings as much!
Glad to see so many enthusiastic posts - and so much success - we will need to come up with a plan for May for this group...

Morning/evening everyone I hope you all had a nice AF night/day! Looks like the sun will come out to play again today!

Not really counting so much at the moment, but day 12 and I think the sugar craving thing has kicked in. The biscuit tin isn't safe at the moment and I actually bought chocloate the other day and have eaten it already, so will have to do something about that, as I am still trying to lose the weight I gained when I gave up smoking and I really can't afford to put any more on, ho hum something else to give up!!

My birthday is early May, there seems to be alot of us born in May, all lovely May Flowers :H

Wishing everyone a great AF day/evening.

Mornin All! Bloody May birthdays I'm very bahhumbug bout them. Three of my kids were born the last week of May as was hubbie. It was like needing to win the lottery every end of May when they were little to buy the presents!!
Witchy, I'm hearing you sweetheart - it's good that your Dad spoke to you about your problems, he's got his own demons I s'pose, hard to excuse a parent bein unkind to their child - no matter what age the 'child'!! The Band thing may be great - don't know anything bout them but I do know that lots of folks on here have had them and when they drank with them things went a bit pear-shaped, so as me oul mammy used to say 'fore-warned is fore-armed'
Keep us up to date on how it goes and what it involves pleez?
Off to shower and work. Rotten old headcold today so feeling a bit yuch, I WILL SUFFER ON

Morning Audrey, how does the saying go, something like 'make your dreams your reality'!

You will do it, you are doing really well already, well done for Day 3, keep going and before you know it you would have achieved your goal and had an extra birthday present ;0}

Morning/Afternoon/Evening nest

Barely had time to breathe the last few days with things, the kids are off school for easter break so although we are doing nothing special I'm revelling in being sober every day with them and not nursing a hangover, actually with being busy I have to wonder how I coped with stuff being either hungover or drunk before.

Well it is mine and hubs anniversary today and it was my daughters B'day Tuesday two occasions I've never celebrated without drinking and it's been wonderful not to be caught up in the whole needing another drink/ worrying about getting the next drink etc scenario I always have in the past, oh and we always get a bottle of wine from his brother as an anniversary present, but this year he bought my hubs a bottle of his fave beer and me and boquet of flowers instead of the usual vino, not sure if my hubs has mentioned something to him or it is just conincidence that this year he's changed pressies

Hope everyone is doing well and Lav your Grandson is adorably gorgeous, I'm getting all broody again just looking at his pic.

Have a good day all

Hello April Gang,

I didn't give up on you -- just another insanely crazy busy day at work. I had to take 3 colleagues visiting from out of town to dinner last night. I was feeling weak and thought about ordering a glass of wine when the waiter put the wine list with the gentelman sitting next to me. He said "I haven't had a drink ini 21 years and I don't plan to start again tonight!" and passed the wine list on. I took that as a sign and ordered an iced tea. I felt so glad about that today. The other two ordered drinks, but I didn't care a bit.

Hope you all have a wonderful AF evening!

Morning Kids
today is absolutly misirable outside, but I am good, we are hitting just over two weeks AF kids.
Hope everyone is doing ok, I have to say that Antabuse certainley take the mental back & forward out of any cravings, it makes it simple, "I CANT drink therefore I dont have to entertain those thoughts when they arise" i dont have to expend all that mental energy fighting with myself.
anyway kids, just a quick check in. hope all are doing well

Hi Witchy,

Glad to hear you are doing so well with Antabuse! I have heard that before. It's great that it's working for you, I have not crossed it off my options list!

Have a great day!
