Good Morning all you Monthly Aberstainers (is that a word ?)

There is so much going on the boards this morning, with Mary hitting her 90 AF Day today. Awesome Mary !! Mary must be feeling sooooo good today, and I feel great just after only 2 AF days.

Anyway, just checking in and wishing everyone a great day today. This month is sure flying by :H

Yes, congrats, Mary! Ninty days--way to go! :happy:

Thanks for starting the thread, Miss October, and congrats on your AF days, as well.

Sorry I've been MIA for a few days. I am fine, but determined to catch up on some paperwork--part of my new year's resolution to be more organized. I'm both sad and glad that the holidays are over.

I did want to pop in and say hi to everyone though.

Have a great AF day!

Hugs,:l

Aberstainers works for me M October!

way to go Mary!!!!!!!!!!!!! the big nine-o is fab!

Kathy, organization is my big weakpoint....I'm trying too. trying to use my computer calendar and put my email in categories too.

I couldn't log on here all morning..wierd.
well, after a hectic day enjoyed a nice calm AF evening last night. storm blowing in so better run and get my chores done before it's too inclement to venture outside...brrrrr!

be well everyone!

Same here on organization - one of my many tasks for this new year...

Well, I'm really settling into simply considering myself "one who simply does not drink alcohol" rather than "a drinker who is going AF" (thanks to Starlight). It makes a big difference, this shift in thinking.

Mary - you're an inspiration. congratulations!! the big 9-0!!

morning all! day three for me.
Well after a very terrible sleep...about 1 hour, between 3 and 4 am, i am feeling cranky and withdrawn. Anxiety hasn't hit again yet and for that i am grateful!
Congrats aberstainers *huggers Miss O*...keep it going!

Mary, as I posted elsewhere...WOW...90 days! You are an inspiration!

Keeta - I took melatonin last night so I would sleep well (my sleep has been difficult since I upped my dosages of 5htp and other supps). Slept like a log.

Hello All-
Mary congrats....I remember when I hit my 90(right before I had all these important family events & I was sooo happy to be AF for them) and just think~100 is just around the corner! You go girl!

Organization-ugh! I'm taking a task a day (ie. a closet, a drawer, a kitchen cabinet). I figured if I start now I might be done by Spring (LOL).

Have a great AF day everyone!

Again, thank you for your support. You all cannot imagine how many times I tried to stop before MWO. An old saying: "When the student is ready, the teacher appears." In my case, it was many teachers in the form of MWOers. Thank you one & all. Love, Mary

Yeah me too Kathy, trying to catch up on paperwork, may not post much- But I am AF for January. I feel overwhelmed and so if I drank I would over drink so AF for me untill I get caught up on things atleast.

Congradulations on the 90 days Mary, that is awesome. I am very happy for you!

Well got to run now, I won't be posting or reading much but going to be AF this month.

Hello all

Well done Mary...and to think I was there once with 120 days and i threw all that hard work to the four winds." None so daft as folk" !
Well, this daft duck is determined to be there again and i know what an achievement it is for you Mary, because I was there struggling with you in the early days.
Stinking hot here in Australia...going to a hide way at the movies today. Back to work on Monday 7th.
Have a good one!

:beach:

love Jane

Hello!

Kinda confusing with two posts going each day...not sure which Jan 3 to go to???

Better today. Not much time to write, but enjoyed reading your posts and wanted to let you know I am still with you and am on day 2.

Struggling a bit, but am ready for the New Me in this New Year! I am ready to finally live up to my full potential which I know I cannot do drinking a bottle of two of wine each day (I have fooled myself for too long thinking I can).

Have A Great Evening Everyone!
