      Where have all the may flowers gone?
      Witchy, I am excited for you! Glad your trip was good, and hope you are doing well.
      Leave, Mylife, 4My, Mimi and others. Where are you all? I hope you are all well. It's funny, I kind of worry a bit when I don't see posting from you guys. Oh, and scottish lass, I know she was over in the newbies. I am still going strong in May. Every second AF is a victory!

          Sounds positive, Witchy. You obviously survived the aftershocks up there in Christchurch.

          Seems a few people are down at the moment. Chins up, the end of May is nigh.

          A bit tired and stressed here too. My work car was taken back today - lack of funding. Which means I have to use my own not so new model. Hopefully the reimbursement will be worth it.

          At least we've had a day of sunshine today in the midst of the rain

              Hello Beauties,
              Scottish, that's allright lady. Did you read my new quotes? How many AF days have you racked up this month? Just get a few more under your belt. Did you figure out your triggers? Glad you're still checking in!
              Dancing on, my cars revers no longer works. We are waiting to get a loan before we buy a car. Thanks for checking in. Yes, it has been a busy busy month.
              Witchy, YAY for starting your new job. Are you loving it?
              Still hanging in there AF for the month, one moment at a time. Take Care everyone!

                Day 2 is on the way - i survived day 1, but did not sleep as well as I expected - feel so sad today, but not hungover which has to be better.
                Sunshine - only managed 6 days so far this month - will not be able to beat April, but at least i am trying again. I have to get better at this, or July will be a problem, taking the girls home to see my parents who have a TON of AL in the house, and it will be a very stressful trip. If i don't get it wired beofre going home, I will have a very hard time, so that is my motivation for this period.
                love your qoutes too!
                keep going everyone, lets just enjoy any successes, no matter how big or small..

                  Hi all,

                  Sunshine, you are so nice to inquire where we are. I have done so poorly in this May Flowers attempt, that I haven't been posting here. I am watching the thread, though and glad that everyone is persevering. I like your Confucius quote.
                  Day 1. Again.

                    HI SL, You still have a while before your trip. I know that you are from the UK and live in California. Is this right? I am from California and live in Australia. I know for myself AL was/is and easy way to deal with loneliness, boredom, and being so far away from my family. My parents too run a free flowing bar (even thought last time I was home they said I drank to much and hid the vodka.) SO I know what you mean. Just do what you can this month. June will be here soon. If you can really get behind giving June 30 days AF, I think you will find your resolve upon your visit home a lot stronger. I remember when you had 22 days AF you sounded so proud and determined. You should feel that way with every day you have AF. You are stronger than it.
                    4MY, Thanks you for my quote. I put it there because I thought it is relevant for myself and anyone else in this journey. As I seem to have realized for own self, I have to face the moments as the come, not more than that. There are times I have decided to drink, and then decided not to in that moment. I even could have had a free bottle of vodka form a party, and was offered to take it home with me because they know how much I love my drinks. However, right before I left, I told my friend that she should keep it. For all the times I brought her a bottle of wine and ended up drinking it. Terrible. So keep coming back. I am only a support to someone else.
                    BTW, that you know your an Alcoholic thread is really a good read. I think I started realize that AL can put you in many situations without your consent. Have a good day. To all stopping by, hello!

                        May Flowers seem to have slipped a bit. I am back on the count again - today is day 5, and another 5 days earlier in the month - my goal of all May will not be reached, nor will my next goal of beating my April total, but i will be happy with my achievements for May.
                        Maybe June will be the 30 day month for me - it will be coming sometime.
                        Yes Sunshine, I am british living in California, with two American daughters - and going thru so much personal stuff without a good support system, but there was a reason I chose not to stay close to my parents
                        Merry - can't get by without my big glass of water with lemon juice - and it is supposed to be healthy for the liver according to lots of posts I have read...
                        Gearing up for the weekend - writing a list of things to occupy myself for when the AL calls....
                        Good Luck to all abbers this weekend - to the first weekend nesters and the long term nesters...

                          Hiya Flowers,
                          SL, you sound so positive. Way to go with 5 days down. I know you will have even more Af days in June!

                          To all my other flowers I hope you are coming along well.

                              Evening flowers, I've not had chance to read through the thread properly but I hope you are all doing okay and life is treating you well:l

                              Just back from holiday, it was so wonderful to have my first AF holiday in 20 plus years, but hard work, I missed being able to log in here and talk the feelings through but hey I made it and wouldn't swap one moment of it for a glass of wine...:l

                              Hope everyone is having a good evening/ day/ night:l
                              WHAT CAN I SAY? I DON'T WANT TO PLAY ANYMORE..


                              Just taking it day by day.......

                                I put red "X" on my calendar,and the more I get the, the better I feel.

                                May was a flop for me. But now I am on day 2 and feeling stronger then ever. I think I will go to my first AA meeting tomorrow.
