BOOZE BUSTERS 30 DAY CHALLENGE - 8/29 NEW THREAD!
Whoa, what a lesson to remember! I never progressed to the point where I had to have a morning drink, but know I was headed down that road . . . sigh of relief that I WILL NOT, NO NEVER, BE GOING THERE. As you said, there's nothing as good as the feeling good that comes w being sober.
MM - Boy, you are ENTITLED to whine! What a royal screw up. Are you always in such constant pain? Does it get better/worse at times? I am a real believer in acupuncture, have had it for several different injuries and it was amazing. Have never been to a chiropractor. Hope something helps, and you don't have consider more surgury. One good thing about being AF, is that it helps w the hot flushes - I don't really get them anymore. So tell your hubby there is hope! Wish we could launch ourselves through cyber space and arrive at your doorstep to help you w the move - do you have help? Are you hiring movers to do the heavy stuff? Hope all goes well, and your pain eases soon. :h
Hey DG! Look, I figured it out, Well, kinda. What I had to do was actually print a pic and then scan it. Course, you lose some in the transition, but I still think it looks pretty good, don't you. NOW you guys are in trouble, I am a flower pic freak, prepare to be assaulted! These are still blooming, by the way, although on their last legs now.
Congrats on the jeans thing! You are obviously tightening up those muscles, and now you are going to find Mr. Scale starts to be a little nicer. What's obviously been happening is that you have been putting on muscles (which wieghs more than fat, explains why the needle hasn't been moving down much yet) BUT EVEN BETTER - now that you have all that lovely muscle your metabolism is burning overtime - now the weight WILL start to come off. There, I just made your day - you may thank me now!
Hubby is home. :huggy He was just gone long enough that I enjoyed the quiet time, but not so long that I began missing him terribly. He's off to bed already, worn out - get this - because some of the guys wanted to go carousing last night. I think hubby prob did have some wine w supper, but not much - so he appointed himself designated driver. They ate at the Sawmill. Next to the Sawmill is a "Gentlemen's Club". I'm sure I don't have to tell you that the name is a laugh.
Anyways, that's where the vote took them. Hubby isn't into this sort of thing!!! (I tell him it's because he knows he already has the best there is at home) (HA!). Anyways, he said they were sitting there, and these women were walking around half naked, and asking them if they wanted to go into another room and they would "dance" privately for them. Hubby said, "Um, no thanks". She said, well, why not? Hubby said (prob sinking lower and lower in his chair) "Um, er, I just don't wanna". I'm sure the other guys were killing themselves laughing at this point!
I always figure it's a good thing when he comes home and tells me about this sort of thing, right? Am I right? Wellllll???????
LindZee - The one thing that still seems very strange in my new AF life is going out for supper w my hubby and not having any wine. We've tried it a few times, and it's just not the same. So I guess enough time hasn't passed yet. So we find we are doing more BBQ at home, and that sort of thing instead. And that's fine. So you prob were wise to say that you weren't all that hungry, and wait a while to try that particular test.
I just realized tonight after I came home from work that my first thought is no longer to go to the fridge and pour myself that first glass of wine of the evening. Don't even think about it anymore. Wow!
Londoner - How'd the massage go? I've only had one massage in my life, when I had strained a muscle lifting something at work - and wondered why on earth I had waited so long! This Christmas season, when work gets absolutely nuts (I'm a Post Master) I am going to schedule a few of them ahead of time. Congrats on Day 12!
Well, this is turning into a book, so will just say hi to Rustop61, Rob, (always enjoy your posts) Lllaclover (we are always here for you), and anyone else to follow. Let's keep on racking up those beautiful Booze Free AF days!
Be sure to pop into Doggygirl's 60 day AF party tomorrow, everyone!

It was 10 am. l don't think he's that old (55?) but addled to be sure and he used to admit it. He didn't recognise me but I watched him shake and sip and shake and sip and gaze out of unseeing eyes. I felt sad for him but grateful in a way he will never know for reminding me of those first sips to 'get the day going' , whatever time of day... It was as if I could taste it with him and remember the sensation of feeling better...than....(awful). And I realised that I really have reached a place of never wanting to feel that 'than' again. I also don't want to feel 'better' than I do sober. No amount of 'feeling better' that comes with a drink is as good as just feeling good or ok.

) I ordered a Diet Coke! Up until the second I said the words "diet coke" I wasn't sure what I was going to do. Out of sheer habit I almost ordered a margarita but I ordered the coke! And the world didn't come to an end.
