Fresh Start!!!!!

:l Lass

Perhaps it won't be all that tough tomorrow.. just think, you will be able to enjoy and remember all of the great little gremlins who come to your door!

I'm in the same boat as you... been here forever (it seems) and get some decent AF time under my belt (9 months was my best) - then turn around and do it all over again. This time, I'm also seeking out AA. So far, so good.. it has been a very positive experience.

I'm determined that this is IT. Message, post, whatever it takes... I'm here!

Hey guys i made it, shopping with they babies n getting out of the house did the trick. See youvall tomorrow. Thank you for the support n kind words. K9 I CANT GET A SCRIPT. I dont have health insurance. But i guess i could order it off shore.

Fresh Start!!!!!

Supper done, little quiet time whilst homework being done.
K9 - I am scared of liver damage and ab causes that too. I am also scared of not trusting myself not to drink. I have looked into it a bit and if I don't make this work soon, I will head that way. You called it right!
Strong - avoiding the situation is my plan - I am not going to my firends. I will stay home with my youngest and we will hand out candy together, and Friday I will be happy that I did it!
Sunshine - 9 months is great - we have "chatted" before - I have only managed just over 2 months. I am also toying with AA - I didmissed it before, but I am obviously not having great success, so will need to try other things - unless the daisy chain is it!
ODAT - I did look at ab on line and it was not as bad as I thought price wise...Sorry things are so rough for you - it is not easy dealing with all that on top of trying to get yourself sorted out, but it can be done and there is light at the end of the tunnel - I lost my house and had huge bills - I moved out January 2nd - during holidays as well, three years later I am getting straight - no money still, but my girls and I are living differently and we are happier than we were for sure, and that is a good thing!
Day 4 tomorrow.....

Fresh Start!!!!!

At my daughter's house. She was released from the hospital for now. She's pretty tired, so I'll be here a few days at least to help her out. I'm feeling a little out of control emotionally... worried about her, worried about missing work, missing the predictable comfort of my own home, but over all, I'm ok. I know I'm where I should be. Feeling very strong and on track alcohol-wise. Let's all so whatever it takes to get another day under our belts. We are getting stronger, ladies!

Good morning, Daisies! Here I am, up at 5 am, organizing my head for Day Three! I really wanted to sleep later, but as I was asleep just after 7 last night, it was not going to happen. I don't know when I have been so tired!

Happy Halloween! It's funny that the challenge of the day for many of us, including me, is how to manage wine, not candy. I typically go to a really fun party at a neighbor's house, have LOTS to drink (me more than anyone, it seems), go out and watch the amazing parade, sometimes go back for more food and wine. Usually I skip the last step, having had way too much during the first one.

This year-I am going to the party at 5 and will leave just after 6 when the parade starts. I will focus on socializing with some dear friends, drink seltzer, and EAT. I can't afford to blow it now, and also, I am tired of seeing myself as the one sneaking back into the kitchen to pour more wine, and feeling aggravated that someone else is drinking "My" wine, and then feeling insanely tired.

My teenaged girl will be in and out, mostly out with her pals, hubbie will be at work, so I will just come home, watch MSNBC, and probably EAT some more! I'd best step up the running!

Kailey, I am sure you feel out of sorts. I hate being away from home. But glad your daughter is doing ok. ODAT, you are doing great. Let's keep our hands on the daisy chain today. I am here all day if you need anything. Starfish, K9, everyone...love you guys.

Oh, and I got my AB from River Pharmacy. It seemed fairly efficient and like a good place. Others may have different places to suggest. But I wonder if you could go to a walk in clinic and get a script? I don't know. Anyone?

Good Morning Daisies!
Glad we all pulled through yesterday...Sorry, I fell off the radar screen yesterday. I ended up having some family issues to sort out.
Everyone sounds good this morning. I will be thinking of you all throughout the day and sending prayers and strength your way. I have several meetings to prepare for and attend today, but will pop in and out as I can.
Just remember, Halloween is just another day...no excuse to drink! This morning, I regretfully remembered many Halloween nights that were horrible, because I was plastered! How stupid. I drank because I thought I would enjoy the festivities more and ended up ruining what could have been a good time. Well that won't happen tonight. I look forward to a fantabulous, sober Halloween evening!
Love you all! See you later!!

Morning all.
Day 4 here and feeling fine about it!
Kailey, sorry about your daughter - hope all is ok?
Morning Star, Ann and ODAT...
off to my meetings, treated myself to a latte - think they are expensive, but heck - cheaper than wine, right????
Will check in later - happy Daisy Day!!

Have a great day, S.L.!
That latte sounds great! It is dark and gloomy and drizzly here today and I just want to nap. A latte would serve me well! LOL!

Happy Halloween Daisies!

Day 7 and tonight is just another night. We haven't had any kids come in years and mine will be out with their own urchins tonight

I might pick up a bag of candy 'just in case'.. ya know.. for the 'kids'. Can't blame me if they don't dome... can't let the candy go stale, right?

Have a grand day/evening.

Congratulations on SEVEN DAYS, sunshine!:l
And on FOUR DAYS, S.L.:l
You daisies are AWESOME!

The trick or treating is messed up in my area, due to bad thunderstorms. Poor kids! But the cities are changing the dates up and some folks celebrated last night, some will still celebrate tonight and some tomorrow night. This has turned into Halloween SEASON :H
I guess I had better be prepared for kids knockin on my door for days to come LOL

Be good, Daisies!

Fresh Start!!!!!

Everybody hang in there tonight! I have the cravings BAD, but am not going to drink. It feels like the end of the week, a huge trigger. But, off to a little party and to EAT.

How is everyone coping tonight? Is anyone as exhausted as I am? My body must be really worn.

Hi Ann, You are doing so well! Congratulations! I am so glad you have a good plan for the night. Eating ALWAYS helps. I am doing okay. Today was Day 14 for me and it's been several months since I have had that many days in a row. I am tired too, but I think it has something to do with the weather. Rainy and dreary here all day....I just wanted to nap all day!
Hope you have fun and your Halloween Party.
