Top of the world me loverly ABeroonies.....

day 49...think I'll suck on a lime. ?

beautifull still morning in the high desert and I'm sore from an excellent workout last night.
for our friends in north America did you know this weekend we are do for a huge meteor shower? it's going to be visible at night! will also do some very strange htings with radio communications. As a ham radio enthusiast I'll be playing with that too.

So it's really great not to have any cravings this go-around...not sure why but can't complain. when I hear folks talk about physical as apposed to psychological cravings it confuses me...I can't serparate the two in my mind. I eather would want something or not. of course when I used to drink around the clock it was a physical addiction and that was understandable. anyhow..just ranting.

Be well you all!!!!!

Day 58 and Damn, I'm Straight!

I love your rhyme, Deter--it has a certain je ne sais quoi about it! Anyway, we had better get a little silly--how many rhymes can we think of anyway?:H

I love your rhyme too, Starlight--we'll just call it the post-modern style. I'm glad you're feeling so good at Day 10!

I think I am starting to turn the corner from sort of getting by day to day into feeling a generally more positive state of mind. Even with feeling irritated with my ex (who continues with his old tricks), I am just feeling more old my old self (from over 15 years ago??). Anyway, I'm starting to feel more alive.

I still, possibly forever maybe, need to get more ORGANIZED. (And so what ELSE is new?? )

Anyway, off to feed the kitties, who are being extremely patient with me and then to work!

Have a good day, all!

Hugs,:l

Hi everyone! As long as we're counting..
Today is the day I call 285
I've made it thru:
Halloween,
Thanksgiving,
Christmas,
Hanukkah,
New Year's Eve,
Valentine's Day,
St. Patrick's Day,
Easter,
Mother's Day,
my birthday,
Father's day AND..
The 4th of July
oh...and several audits at work
80 more days to go till I can call it a year! ......sorry none of that rhymed...

I have learned a lot but have much more to go.

Oh- kathy- thanks for asking about mom and stepdad...that is most of my stress right now- I mean, working out the arrangements of getting them moved up here. Instead of 6 hours away they will be 30min from me. I am very excited to have them here but I would love for the move part to be over with.

Other stress is work - I talked to my boss this morning about the potential tax assessment.
He said - 'ok, well, let's definitely fight this. Let me know what happens."
I have worried about this for a week!! I was waiting to be fired (well, not really but it isn't good) and all he said was 'let me know what happens'.
Sigh....I'm so glad I didn't drown my sorrows or my stress. Other than work and my parents move oh, and I forgot one other thing. My good friend who is getting married, may not be getting married.
I'm the maid of honor and so I must listen to long phone calls about the drama ( I won't go into that part). And eventhough it isn't My drama, it is stressful.
I think that's all the stress right now. oh, one of my kitties seems under the weather too - sniffels.
But no alcohol for me - at least not today. I will make it to Oct 27th ! ...and beyond

Love to all of you and congats on all the AF days you have achieved.
Lisa

Everyone is doing so well! Good going guys & gals!

I got back from a follow-up with my doctors about 45 minutes ago and have managed to scarf down two sandwiches! Good Lord!

So far my meds are working very well (considering the state I was in 6 days ago). Sleeping well, only had 2 anxiety attacks compared to 35 I would of had at the rate I was going. My blood pressure is nice and low indicating I am in very good cardiovascular health. I am PLEASANTLY surprised after the years of self-abuse and family history. I know I am 35 and have some years left in me, just was amazed after my heart scan and then two visits to the doctor, I am OK. Got to keep that up! But first I must go and have a smoke. LOL! Yeah, still working on that one too.

I have also been referred to a gynecologist for tubal ligation. It was a big decision, but I honestly don't want anymore children and don't want the risk of getting pregnant again. Having the two is plenty for me. Plus with all of the meds and a shitty relationship, I couldn't even think about having another or accidentally getting pregnant.

Still waiting to get into to see a shrink-a-link, but apparently there is a LONG wait. Which is fine, I can wait LOL!

Day 8 for me.... feeling pretty fabulous again. I hope you all have a wonderful day!! I am so excited. Two more days I am going home for a visit. SOOOOOOO homesick!
