Morning all!

Just checking in to see if everyone made it through and put their green faces/X's on their calendars? I put my little bumble bee sticker on, so all is well!

DG - "Funny" how we do tend to forget the "day after" feeling after a while. I force myself to remember it. Anytime I romanticize alcohol, I fast forward to the reality of it. I always say: Drinking for me is not rainbows and butterflies, it's DUI's, handcuffs and a cellmate named Diablo. DON'T let the alcohol beast sugar coat it...remember the REALITY.

Okay everyone, I hope y'all have a great day and stay strong. We CAN do this!

Insanity DB but we do. My mind played tricks this evening but made it through green. Hope you're feeling better x

Just because he used a megaphone to get me moving doesn't mean I need a megaphone every day to stay moving. What it takes to get me from inertia to movement is a different level of effort than what it does to keep me going once one foot is in front of the other.




Does that make any sense at all G?

I get you i think Prairie. You don't need a megaphone every day now that you are off and running. Gratitude thinking is part of your daily maintainence, rather than a shout from the heavens? Hope you're feeling good today.

Hi y'all,

A very good morning to you from a sunny/grey/drizzly/sunny/fresh Melbourne town! 4 seasons in one day in this city.

Nice post Niner. Always great to see you.

Scottish and Pat, best of luck with your school preperations! I imagine from what you have both been through (and going through), you have a LOT of value in many ways, to offer your students.

Great to see you DB. Hang in there mate. How are you going?

How are you going there FF?

Wishing everyone sweet dreams to the North, and a great evening or day to everyone else. Eat yer spinach, ok?

L8tr, Yo! :h

Hi everyone,
Hi Fluff... be great for you to join!
I've woken up feeling like shite BUT not from drinking.. Yay I didn't drink yesterday!
Guess it's the beginning of toxins leaving my body.
The amount I have been drinking lately surprises me I don't feel worse.
But this time, I'm perversely enjoying feeling like crap.. I'm living in that moment of gratefulness that the beginning has started.
Hope you all have a great day
Take care
Patrice

Oy. Day 5 and the toxins are exiting. I feel like I've done 12 rounds of something and I haven't.

My head? Killing? My body? Rebelling? And the exhaustion? I don't remember- maybe I blocked it - I'll go check my other early quit posts - but I can't believe how much sleep I need this time.

But I made it to day 5.

:-). Morning all

Morning PF. Congrat's on day 5! Most folk are tired in the early days/weeks AF, and hoping you're excited too........

All good and cruisey here. Polishing off day 29, and about time.

30 days is a great challenge i reckon. Long enough to be a bit of a challenge, and short enough to be realistic and do-able.

To the light, with the darkness as my friend.

Hi all,

Its all good here. I had a fantastic acupressure/ Chinese traditional massage which realigned a few Chakra'a I think.
I too feel shattered,
Take care all

Hi All and Welcome Fluff!

Happy Friday! YAY!! Hope everyone is doing good and planning a fun filled sober weekend! I have no plans, as G-Bloke pointed out, I don't see much action. LOL

Worried about my little doggie, she's got ear infections and her skin is so bad. We've done the antibiotic route 10x and it always comes back. She's getting old. Some of you may know from other threads that I lost my little Cocker Spaniel Charlie about 4 weeks ago. I'm not ready to go through that again :upset:

Everyone have a great GREEN day
