Booze Busters 30 Day Challenge - 8/21 New Thread!

The other side of the first mountain

Have a good night Booze Busters,

Just a quick note to say the back side of 30 Days AF is just as compelling to me as the front side.

Good night.

July

AF 33 Days

Booze Busters 30 Day Challenge - 8/21 New Thread!

Hello all youse BoozeBusters!

Well, now Tuesday down the tubes - and sanity day (Wednessday) tomorrow. Hope it is a little more "sane" than last week - no coffepot accidents or fridge malfunctions. Don't have any appointments or real plans, so might actually be a relaxing day. I usually seem to be the last post of the evening (should I play taps?) (Hauling out trumpet, wiping mouth, getting ready to blow....)

Day is done!
Gone the Sun!
From the earth,
From the sea,
From the Sky!
All is well,
Safely rest!
God is nigh. . . .. .

(Wipe spit off trumpet)

See, DG, your hubby isn't the only boy scout (er, girl scout in my case).


Sorry . . . it's 8:00 here and I haven't eaten supper yet, getting a little brain dead. One of the things I dislike about hubby being a workaholic is the long hours he puts in. Oh wait! He is just coming into the house - Yay - supper!!!! I'll continue this later. . ..

And I'm back. . . .

Supper done, dishes washed, but hubby hogged the computer, so many hours later I am back.

DG/Satori - if you will quite fighting,:tsk: I may tell you what the herbal formula is that I found for insomnia. It is made by "Exact", which is a generic brand, I buy it at Wallmart - called "Herbal Insomnia Formula". It contains Valerian, Passion Flower Herb, Cammomile, Strobiles Hip, (whatever that is, guessing maybe rose hip?), and Wild Lettuce Leaves. All I can say is that it seems to work. Hope you can find some.

Madison May - Hope you enjoyed your fireworks & grapejuice/tonic water (will have to try that combo!) tonight. Congrats on day 13, on to 14!

MM - Glad you are holding your own. Must be very scary. Feel sorry for those folks who have respiratory illnesses, they must be finding the smoke really tough to deal with. You are doing so well to hang in there and still be racking up AF days - good on you! Hope the situation improves soon.

Lotus (Mandy) congrats on day 14 going on 15. I am having more sugar and salty food cravings right now too, and this is day 40! I'm hoping this tapers off soon, meanwhile I am trying to eat lots of fruit and yogurt and stuff like that - although what I really want is chocolate!!!!! and Potato Chips!!!!!!:upset:

July - Ain't it great? 33 is such a nice, substantial number isn't it? Boy, we are all doing so well here. Thank God for this site, for RJ, and for all you wonderful folk.

Finding - Sending you a pm.

Well, am about nodding off here - and haven't even taken my "herbal insomnia formula" yet, imagine that! So will say a quick hello and goodnight to AF, Jen, and anyone else I have missed. Have a good AF day again tomorrow!

Hi

Yesterday was day 13 af for me, now well into day 14, hope to make it through this one.

Satori - you mentioned at this stage you had more engergy. I have found I am more relaxed, it must be the calms. I had a wave of lightheadedness over the weekend, just lasted about a minute, but felt as if I wasn't present, funny feeling, it happened several times. It can't be because I have not eaten, because I am eating properly. But hey, if that is the worst you can feel, it sure beats being in a drunken stupor.

Finding - I have red grape juice with tonic, have also tried pomegranate juice with tonic, which is quite refreshing.

Hannah, Rob, Lotus, July, DG, and anyone I haven't mentioned, also all those to come, I hope you are all doing great.

BTW we had a fantastic firework display here in Liverpool last night to round off the celebrations for the 800 year birthday of the City. It is strange to know we walk the same pavements(sidewalks) as the people who signed the Charter for the City in 1207.

Be good everyone.

Mary :l :h

Good morning my friends!!

This is actually the best morning thus far! I woke up feeling really, really good! Had a good nights sleep and I actually have a day off. Day 12 for me today!

I am moving into a new house in two weeks, never seems to slow down for me, but luckily the houe is only two houses down the street! So, today I am going to start the big " get rid of SH*T party"!! This will feel good! Clean head, body, new house - a new start - I like the sound of this..

The fire is still really bad.. the sky is almost completely orange, embers are flying everywhere, and it almost got the ski resort yesterday, it was close! They had dozens of helicopters and thousands of firefighters (including my husband) all over the mountain fighting this fire. It is really something to see. The flames are hundreds of feet in the air! Our family is safe and we are about 15 miles from where the acutal fire is and we are on the river, so we are in good shape, but I can see the whole thing from the spa, which is downtown and accross from the ski mountain (but it is safe, too). Anyway, it is just so surreal - I have never been in anything like this before.

I will check in with you all later today after I tear through my house - that's my exercise for the day!

Have a wonderful day!

MM

Hello All

Again I am still catching up with all your posts.

Good to read positive threads. Well done all.

I'm on day 15AF. Still not getting enough sleep and cravings for sugar and carbs are still there. I'm not fighting the cravings yet as I'm happy to not be drinking. But next week I think I will start being a bit more stricter.

Hope you all have a great evening.

Love Mandy x

HELLO BOOZE BUSTERS!! After this post, I'm going to start a new thread since we are over 100 posts! What an awesome and active bunch of Booze Busters we are!!

First....HELLO!

MM congrats on Day 12. Glad to hear you got a good night sleep and woke up feeling good! Gotta love waking up rarin' to go instead of all hung over. How cool that you are moving to a new house! Especially just 2 doors away. That does sound like a wonderful "fresh start." I hope the fires die down soon. Your description just sounds surreal - can't imagine seeing it first hand!

Satori - WHEE motorcycles and rock 'n' roll. NOW we're talkin'! Actually I don't get on motorcycles anymore - one too many accidents, and even minor ones can cause problems when skin meets pavement. But OH the memories of younger days. I had a boyfriend when I was 19 or so who had an old Harley painted all stars and stripes red/white/blue. He had long hair and sometimes he would make braids on either side of his head and we'd fly down the street him looking like Pippy Long Stocking or something. That was past the days of the Beatles though......I guess that means I'm a young chickee poo and you're an old f**t?????? WAIT!! I'M NOT TRYING TO START ANYTHING!!!

madisonmay/Mary - Congrats on Day 14!! Two weeks down!! I bet the fireworks were fun. It's so hard to imagine so many cities that are hundreds and hundreds of years old. I've not traveled very much outside North America - it's amazing and there are so many places I still want to see!!

July - congrats on Day 34! So do tell....what exactly do you find as compelling about this side of 30 days v. the front side of 30 days? I know we will have another noteable quote soon! You are doing awesome and I bet your family is so happy for you and with you.

HannahBDeb! Hey you are somthin' on that trumpet there girl! You and Mr. Doggy will be indespensible if we ever have a Booze Busters Camping Trip or anything! Thanks also for the Insomnia Herbal info. There is a Walmart on my shopping path and I've added that to my list.

FMF - I LOVE your moves there girl! You are one wild and crazy MIL to be!!

Lotus aka Mandy - Congrats on getting halfway to 30 days!!! WHEE!! I'm with you - one thing at a time. So enjoy the snot out of that chocolate for the time being, and please please eat some ice cream and/or gummy fish for me OK?? I'd love a vicarious sugar fix!!

Well, I'm off to start us a new thread!

DG
:award: + * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Is it day 49 or 50?? Reteacher Mary and Pinkie, what days are you guys on?? I'm the balogna in the middle of your sandwich.
