    July Mod Squad

    Hey Nuttmeg. I remember you. I thought you disappeared, but you only came here. It's good to see that you are still posting.

    Your modding sounds pretty good, because if I remember correctly you were pretty down and out a few months back. Do I have the right person? I also understand how you feel bad about drinking too much, when you do drink. I know that when I drank last Sat. I drank quite a bit and got pretty tipsy. I did not, however, black out or stumble or pass out, and I remembered everything the next day. Hell, I hardly slept, so I remembered it all night.:H

    Yes, I believe we can make this forum more lively. It only takes a few people who like to chat. I would be one of them, lol.

      Hi, and welcome back, Nuttmeg!

      I feel like I was in the center of the whole NN and the NN Nazi (FD's term, I 'm just using it b/c I like it!) controversy. I realized that as much as I think some of the "3N's" were wrong to chase me, I contributed just as much, if not more negativity to both the NN and this thread with my efforts to prove I'm right. Being right and having to prove that I'm right has often caused more pain than simply accepting the someone else doesn't understand, or has a different view.

      So, my request to all is to put it behind us, accept my apology for bringing the negativity here, and focus on our goals.

      As I've shared with a few in PM's (did I post this already?) I'm facing a challenge of golf and cards with my (drinking) buddies in a little while. I'm committed to at least 30 days AF, and today is day 12. I'm bringing a bunch of cans of Arnold Palmer Iced tea/lemonade, and will leave if the pressure gets too intense. I'll give you all an update, hopefully before bed.

      Like LG, I like to chat, so I'll try to keep this thread active as well.

      Thanks for the support.
      Dave

        Hey D. I feel bad about the altercation in the Nest yesterday as well. I do not, however, feel that some of the vehemence that was directed toward me was valid. If it's true that they (the NN's, lol) are only concerned about me and don't want me to make the same mistakes [they did], they certainly didn't come across that way. All I felt was anger that I would dare try and moderate and still think I could help anyone else. I still haven't figured out what I did exactly, besides tell you (D) that I agree that it seems like any talk of modding gets shot down in the Nest. I never talked about my modding--most didn't even know, unless they stalked my posts--so I guess just the fact that I am modding is enough to not be welcome there.

        Anyhoo, bygones.

        It also made me feel badly that a long-time member basically called me an uncaring, self-absorbed person. She said, the dictators are gone now (not that you'd notice)...I assume she meant herself and --(edited to protect the innocent ). I did notice. I also noticed that neither of them ever spoke kindly to me after learning that I was trying moderation (AFTER successful abstinence), or even spoke at all. It's like you have a very contagious disease if you still drink and "expose" yourself to afers. Really hurt my feelings, as I am a very caring person.

          BTW, has anyone heard from RC? She was very supportive of me, and I miss her posts.

            D - Do your golf and card buddies know you are shooting for AF for 30 days, telling them will help you fight the urge I think. I really have not thought of liquor but once or twice today, work started to get stressful and I actually my only tru thought about the liquor was "hey I am stressed and I have NOT thought about liquor" I think I will try again to read more posts in the Why I hate AL thread before I had home again though..............

            Nutmeg - nice to meet you glad you are back You MUST look back and give your self praise for how far you have come.........

                Hey all day 2 in a row I managed to pass up the evil liquor store..... Just finished getting tattoo.....I had made the 4:00 appointment on Saturday when I was loaded at a friends memorial party bash and forgot about it til my artist friend texted me this afternoon confirming..... Last week this time I woulda blown him off so I could go home and get my drink on but nope... Even knowing I promised my kid he could use car for work and I could use that as excuse I went ahead and did some juggling and did it!!!! Really could not be doing this without all your support especially since family and friends never knew I drank the liquor!

                      It's at the top of the screen on this site, "Live Chat". I don't know if it will work by mobile or not.

                              Don't worry. It's not important. We'll figure it out eventually.

                                :danthin:Hi, all. Just checking in to thank Eve for the thread, and let you all know that I made it through playing lousy golf (worst round of the year, 53 for 9) and not much better cards, but I made it SOBER! Didn't have to worry about getting pulled over on the way home, and had just as much, or maybe more fun than had I been drinking. :jumpwow:

                                Have a good night, all!
