Fresh Start!!!!!

I am going to have to go to bed soon-ish. I am worn and I will be up super early in the morning, I know. I am not tempted to drink, have nothing in the house....that's novel, both parts.

Impressive you have an AF day/week. I could never have done that.

Are you ok, ODAT? What will your evening be like?

Wow, really going to have to crash soon. I will check in in a few hours, I am sure I will be up-so no one worry about me, I am fine, just wiped all of a sudden. Everyone get ready to add another daisy in our chain!

Talk you in the night. Lord it's only 7:30 pm.

I'm really tired. My daughter's first day of work ever was tonight. I pick her up at 9. Sons home, who knows if hubby will come home or when. I don't want him home, tention is too much. I am wrapped up in a sheet on the couch watching tv and waiting for the night to end. I guess i depressed. Al and life does that. It's pretty hard in my life right now but exciting new beginings are right around the corner. Thanks for asking Ann!

Hang in there! Sounds like you are having a tough night, but you are winning! I can't believe you have to head out at 9 pm! Once I get home from work you have to pry me out of the house with a crowbar!

Howdy - got home, nearly 6 pm - left a bit early again, I won't be able to keep this up, but it helps - traffic drives me to you know what!
Feeling good today, I seem to be able to handle the week days as long as I get staright home and don't stop. The weekends (and that includes all day friday as that is my work from home day most of the time) is my downfall - but already thinking about it so hopefully will be shored up.
Got to go get supper going - and then check on homework again...day 2 almost in the bag, not going out so should be safe.
I left my husband almost three years ago - still working it all out, tough times ODAT.
Kailey - I am not sure I could do this if I had a husband at home drinking - the only way for me is to have NOTHING at all in the house - or if it is here, I drink it
Hi Queen - I remember you from a while back.
Hey ho Ann, SS, K9 and Star..and to everyone who hopped onto the chain earlier today - busy thread today - great group - and much prefer the daisy's K9! no chain gang, just happy thoughts!!!

ODAT thinking of you. It's tough to go through this with the pressure of disfunction at home. It's so important to stay strong but, yet so tempting to just give in to escape through drinking. So glad you are stringing daisies along with us xxx

Thank you guys for your thoughts. Im doing much better the later it gets. That like 6-8 time is very depressing. Both the kids are gone Halloween so I'll be here and sad. Maybe ill watch a scarry movie, eat candy and popcorn and be happy to have some time. In 2014 im gonna do me. Yoga and spas and the search for inner peace. If al is hanging around non of that is possible.

Hope everyone is succeeding tonight! Much love daisys.

Hi all you daisies.... I just wanted to crash your thread and say that doing hypnosis with free youtube videos is really giving me some relief from the cravings and voice right now.... May be worth a shot

Hi Daisies,
I like the idea of being a Daisy since I was never a brownie or a girl scout. This is a much more important mission.
I missed out on all the chatter here last night. I hope everyone got through the witching hour. There are many suggestions in the tool box on how to get through a craving. In fact I think I need to find that for a review myself.
ODAT, I think your kids will see how strong you really are for leaving an unhealthy environment. They may not get it now,but they will eventually.
Acadia., hopefully you sweated out some of the toxins last night. When I first quit ...each time, I sweated through out a couple of nights. I couldn't believe how toxic I felt but it also feels good to know, they're leaving my body.
Kailey, I hope your daughters health stabilizes. Being sober to be able to support her is so important.

I best be getting ready for work. Have a great day everyone, stay strong.
Ishy

Hello Daisies :l

Just want to let you all know how proud I am of you! Each day we put between ourselves and that beast, AL is a good one. Each time we overcome a craving, we get a little stronger. Y'all are doing GREAT!
True story: Last night, on my way home from work, I had to stop at the WalMart Store to pick up a few items....Near the front of the store, on one of the major aisles that I had to travel on, there is a wine display. Now, I didn't usually buy my wine from WalMart, but I did take a glance at that display and can you believe that mixed in with the wine bottles, there were bouquets of daisies for sale?!!! Yes ma'am- pretty, fresh, daisies! White ones and colored ones. And I thought of us!! I bought a bunch of white ones, just for us!
Stay strong daisies! We can do this!

Hey everyone,

Happy daisies! Now I am seeing them everywhere, including in the front yard of my apartment building! WHo knew?

I slept like a beast last night, with only some chemical help. Full of energy today and nothing bad so far! Have been very busy with work and managing some distressing moments ok.

ODAT, glad you are feeling good!
