Hi 30 dayers: First, I want to thank everyone for the kudos from yesterday on my 90 AF days. I just read the thread again...it will keep me going. I'm a busy bee, but I know from hard experience that when I overdo, I look for "relief." So, I must build some down-time into my life. I've got chores & errands today but didn't overschedule the weekend...just a family dinner w/the kids & g-kids. I think my over-achieving is as much of an addiction as my drinking. One of my new year's resolutions is to ask for help more frequently.

Today I will not drink. It doesn't really help me relax...numbing out is not the same as relaxing. I hope all is well w/everyone. Work on your goal (mod/abs), & I'll check in later. Mary

Hi Mary and all to come

Its a horrible snowy, wet day here but I am thankful to be getting my MWO fix again. I really missed it over the holidays. I find it keeps me focussed to log in every day. It also motivates me to follow in the footsteps of people like you Mary.

Our goldie cut one of the pads on her foot before xmas (on a deer chase) so she has been out of action while it heals. My husband has taken the JR on some mega walks over the holidays but I have only gotten out a few times. I am looking forward to my daily walks next week.

Catch you all later

Hi Mary and all your monthly abers !

Thanks for starting this thread Mary, and you are welcome for the well wishes. I was too busy writing my post of ODAT to start this thread. I'm exhausted from that :H

Weekend is almost here, and always very busy, not that busy kept me from drinking. I'm going to work REAL HARD on not drinking this weekend, and I'm up for the challenge :boxer:

So everyone, have a great day today and enjoy !

The wonderful thing about posting on this site from OZ, is that U can neither be early nor late. Just ask Alice. Fine here ,lovely rain and delightfully cool. More C.S.L.? No. Drought has broken and the normal crucible of Xmas heat never eventuated!

(I'd still like some snow in the mail thou).

Wonderfully Sober.

Hope Ur2.

Mary, it can be tempting to look for "relief" when one has alot to do, but actually that is when we most need to be sober, to handle what needs to be done. I know what you mean though, looking for "relief" can be the first thought one thinks of.

Hello all - just checking in for another day - today makes 1 week AF for me. I feel much better than I did last weekend; but still, a Friday night holds its temptations to drink. I'm not so bad right now, though, and am pretty confident I can stay AF through this weekend.

Best of luck to you all!
