Well - here is a break from tradition - Satori starts the daily thread.

Well, we can't have Mary doing it ALL the time!

The weekend approaches - Scotland is Sunny, but very Breezy today (well - my corner of it anyway )
Hope you are all doing well.

Still going strong here - AF and HAPPY to be so!

I am full of the joys of (AF) life today - so - feel free to rub this spot right here :h to see if some of it rubs off!

Love

Yup - that works! Just returned from a couple days of Nordic skiing. Felt great to exercise all those muscles and have a clear and calm mind to boot. Was sunny inside and out, if you catch my drift. Happy, happy to be AF :happy:

Hi fellow Abbers

I'm jealous Kirova, would love to be getting my exercise skiing and not walking!! Sunny and windy here and have had a nice walk with the doggies so cant complain.

As you say Satori, feeling good and glad to be AF.

Have a great week-end everyone.

Snowing like crazy here in CT...waiting for a phone call, that is not gonna happen, thinking maybe we would not open today.....
Dusting off the old eliptical...its about time I incorporated some exercise.....being hungover is not an excuse I can use anymore, just lazy......
Hope everyone has a good weekend.

Hi All,

Welcome, Kirova, it's good to "meet" you, and I hope to see more of you around here. Hi to Satori, Charlee and rustop. I'm envious about the skiing, too, rustop. No skiing this year for me, due to my shoulder and now my wrist, unless I want to ski without poles. It sux bigtime. I agree with you Satori, skiing makes just about anything better. It makes me feel serene no matter what problems I'm struggling with in the real world. It's too bad we can't go for a couple of runs every evening after work. Who'd ever think of drinking?

I'm feeling rather sorry for myself this morning, but even sorrier for my sister, who is at the airport, trying to get here from NY, but all the flights are being cancelled. (This is my other sister, not the one who lived with me for a while.) If all had gone right, I would be picking her up in about 20 minutes. She probably won't be getting here today--yes, just got a call from her; she will be arriving tomorrow, early. I think that God wanted me to have an extra day to clean.:H Heaven knows that my house needs it! It will be nice to have a whole day to focus on cleaning, since it definitely isn't my strong suit.

Other than that little frustration, things are going well. No worries about drinking or anything else. I am feeling like I've gotten a little unexpected break, and I'm starting to feel relieved. Maybe I'm not feeling very sorry for myself after all. Well, I DO have to shovel my stairs. I guess I can have a pity party about that if I REALLY want to.

Have a good day all!

:l :l

Cathy,

SWMBO was not able to ski lat year due to HER shoulder - but she is good to go this year - hang in there - it will get better with time.

HMMM - skiing as an anti drinking medication - I wonder If I could try to get that prescribed free on our National Health Service here!:H

Take care

Love

Aloha Friday ABorigineees!

I'm back at home after almost missing my plane last night because I was absorbed in MWO chat ....ooops! they called "final boarding call for passenger X" that was close and I was the last dingbat on the plane. good for the humility I guess.
Been watching my coworkers getting poopoofaced for the last three days and just thinking: sure glad to be on the other side of that fence.
Hi Kirova!
everyone is sounding nice and cheery which is grand. we certainly do have plenty of snow in this area (in fact it's snowing in Reno right now) and the sun is shining at the same time which makes it so pretty. I'm just not sure I'll get the time to ski but am going to try to at least do some snow shoeing since Dx likes to do that with me and I desperately need to work on my cardio. huff. puff.
i"m with you YAH...go for a couple ski runs after work. that would be stellar

well, I'm off to save the world. AF and loving it.
be well friends!!

Hi Everyone: Thanks Satori for starting this thread. I read yesterday's thread all the way through & just wanted to echo a thought that Deter put forth. You don't have to be full of gratitude or be really up mood-wise to post here at this thread. If you're struggling, that's all the more reason to get it out & post. The people who post here are AF from one to hundreds of days...everything in between. There is no requirement other than you're looking for some AF time (30 days is the usual goal).

When I first came to MWO in April 07, I drank heavily for the first few months here. I then went on an over 60 day AF stint only to relapse. I then recommitted & went over 100 AF days & again relapsed. I'm now at day 22 & plan to be permanently AF. I'm not proud of the relapses, but they taught me something (I'm still trying to figure out what). Also, the AF days I did rack up were invaluable in breaking the spell drinking had over me.

I say all this to encourage all people to stick it out, post, & read. Good luck, Mary

PS: Hi Cindi!
