Good morning. Up early sorta, considering it's my day off. The alarm was ringing on my cell in the living room, lol. Might lie back down for a little bit.

Glad you had a good, moderate evening vliven. Your plan for this evening sounds good. Is it possible that you could maybe take a Friday off and stay home? I used to think that every weekend I HAD to do something, but it's been a long time since I felt that way. It's kinda freeing to just enjoy time off and not make any plans sometimes.

Hope everyone is having a great Friday! TGIF!

Hi all,

I have just arrived at Adelaide Airport (South Australia - for those non Aussies) and its cold wet and raining.

I'm from the North where it's tropical and hardly ever cold - oh well its a change at least.

I plan to go AF as much as possible while I'm here, shouldn't be too hard, seeing as my Mum doesn't drink much.

Hope you're all modding well.

Hey gang,
A few of you have had a great correspondence going on back and forth. My computer has been down for 4 days now and am typing on my work one after hours. So, haven't been here for a while but am doing o.k. My gf asked me two nights in a row to join her for drinks. Had good excuses not to both nights and talked to hubby about it last night. We just don't think it's a good idea to get into week night drinking. I have given myself more permission in the past (glass of wine or two at a girl party-Gold Canyon Candles or Nu-skin) but really trying to get away from that. Plain and simple I feel better and sleep better when I haven't had AL the night before. However, as a modder, I sure do look forward to the thought of a nice glass of wine on the week-end when I am truly relaxing (like out to a nice dinner) or sitting at home with hubby and watching a movie. So, think it will be a good week-end, no big events or parties planned where the worry of overdoing it lingers. Night all and have a good week-end.

I'm here, briefly. Glad you made it home safely and without stopping at the "store", vliven. I never thought I'd actually not think about my "store", but haven't in a long time. My goal as a modder is to err on the side of not drinking at all, rather than going back to the hell I was in, drinking every night.

I tried that beer you suggested vliven. It is pretty good. I had 1.5, lol. Still not much on beer, really. I'm having a glass of wine now, still left over from two weeks ago. Staying away from liquor.

Eve, hello! Good to see you. Sounds like life is treating you well. I'm afraid I don't have many invites for drinks anymore, which is good, but also means I don't have many friends, lol. Always tended to be a loner, except between boyfriends...

Well, it's nearly 11 pm here. Not really sleepy yet. Hope everyone is doing well.

Tonight is really really testing me, I feel extremely irritable, uncomfortable and have an overwhelming urge to escape..... Can't explain why but I think I will survive liquor free..... Long story I'll share tomorrow.......

Left work to go get my birth control shot which has a tendency to make me a little bitchy for a day or two, left there for home and skipped store no problem got home and had house to my self (rare). Attempted a nap - FAIL, still had house to myself but hubby was on way home I decided to take a 5 hour energy thinking it would give me the Friday night pep I use to get from my first few shots another FAIL- just got super sick to stomach, very ancey and very irritable..... Hubby came home and did not have definate plans for us just a bunch of maybe stuff- I can not stand knowing what the plan is- so he is just staring at TV perfectly content not knowing what or even if we are going to do anything tonight..... Finally it seemed we were staying put and he announced his friend was coming over... This friend always brings liquor.... My husband has no clue about my addiction or what I'm trying to do right now so I tell him fine he can come over but NO LIQUOR we have a lot of stuff to do tomorrow... So he texts him and says come on by but I'm not doing any shots with you -not don't bring liquor- I said Hun I told u to say no liquor he Sid don't worry I won't do any shots- having no idea that I do not want him to bring the liquor cause I'm not so sure I can just not do any shots- any way he came by -luckily with no liquor- I had a few more beers then I have any night this week but not a whole 6 pack was in bed by 10:30 and feel great this morning (wretched feeling from 5 hour energy gone phew).
Thanks for listening hope everyone has a great day!!!!!!

hi everyone, have had a good read to catch up on how everyone is doing this week which I really enjoyed. I'm still plodding along, glad to be doing as well as I am but wish I was doing better with things, sort of like glass half empty and glass half full all at the same time

I have lots to do this weekend, plan on making sunday af and then will take it from there....
LG Im so glad you have kept things under control and haven't fallen into old traps :goodjob:

Hi dg. It's not been difficult to stay away from the old "traps" so far. Anyway, so far I have been able to mod successfully, and do not want to drink all the time. It's almost like since I gave myself the choice, I don't feel the allure as much. I was really ready to quit drinking the way I was before, when I came here. I had not even tried on my own at that point. I believe, with me, it was habit more than addiction. Nevertheless, daily (over) drinking had done to me what it does to anyone who abuses AL.

Last night, I had the 1.5 beers, then two glasses of wine and I was done. Bf brought his PS3 into the bedroom, at my suggestion, and I read a book while he played golf. Unfortunately his idea of bedtime and mine clashed, and waking up for the third time at 2 am, grumpy and the tv still on, I decided what the frell and opened another beer. I only had about two sips, and that was that. Hate wasting stuff, but oh well.

Up now at 11 and tired as hell. Had plans for today and can't get myself in gear, due to the late late hour last night. Need to get the PS3 out of the bedroom pronto, LOL.:H:H
