LOL, an MWO Ski Club!! Thanks for the encouraging words, Satori. Actually, I just got back from physical therapy, and I've been cut back to 1x/week. Sweet.

Macks, when I think of you, I think of how long you were able to be alcohol-free and how well you did for a long time. I know how much Lisa and the kids love you and how much you love them. I KNOW you can do it again. I felt pretty "blah" for a while when I stopped drinking. Some people feel so good right away, but not me.

Deter, good on you for your successful trip. It is interesting watching peeps get blotto, isn't it??

Anyway, I'm going to get back into doing some housework before inertia sets in.

:l :l

Good Afternoon Abbers,

Satori, thank you for starting the thread and now I really want to go skiing.

Kirova, glad to see you on here.

Mary, Hi!!

Kathy, So sorry your sister was delayed. I am stuck in St. Louis one extra day but only because I came down with a horrible cold and I did not want to even try to drive to the airport in snow and ice and get on a plane as sick as I was this morning. So, I ordered room service and a pot of decaf. Hopefully things are cleared about by early a.m. and I can get out okay, although it looks fine out there right now anyway.

Macks, Day 5 is kind of rough, I think it is about the "middle" of the hard 10 part. I know it is all kind of tough but it will get easier and easier from here on if you stick with it.

Det, The antabuse is such a great idea because it just meant that drinking with coworkers was simply not an option. Wow, after a while, that will just become habit and not out of the norm!! Good on you!! Enjoy Dx's company this weekend. I am sure she will keep you plenty "distracted."

Love to all of you, staying AF and very glad to be that way!!
Cindi

Oooops, forgot to say "hi" to Chief.

I made it through..But have been a grumpy pain in the arse all night..I hardley spoke to anyone..Never mind hardley, i didnt. At one point i had to get out the house before i upset anyone..I know it will be worth it in the end.
On a positive, in the past.. if i had felt that bad i'd of folded..
Also i'm sorry about going on about me me me at the moment, but at this time, its all i'm capable of..

Selfish and grumpy..What a catch eh..

Macks, if we don't use this resource for selfish reasons then our selves don't get better....it's a must. you are just fine mate. Keep up the great work.

Hello, everyone. Great work with another day practically already under our belts.

Feeling better than I have in a while. Finally! However, it's storming like crazy here and when all is said and done we may end up with 10 inches of snow. I swear if I get sick again because I have to shovel, etc. tomorrow I may really lose it. I don't mean by drinking, just mean I will mentally lose it! :H Keeping my fingers crossed!

Anyway, keep up the good work all. You have a right to be very proud!!

Macks, this site is about ourselves. From the very first post, we talk about ourselves. No reason to be sorry for that. That's what we are here for. You'll be strong and dishing out advise before you know it! I will bet on it!!

Stay strong, folks!!! You guys rock!

Love, Me

Macks,

I agree with everyone else.

If you need to vent abut yourself and your problems right now, please do. We are here for you. Huggy things coming your way... :l :l

When you get into a better place, you will be giving back, I know!!

Hang in there, buddy. You can do this, You too Mary Anne!!

Love you all. Going down for the night. Early flight and sick with a cold.

Love,
Cindi

Well, in a break with tradition (a la Satori - who I must say sounds so well) I'll post in here too..

Lovely vibes going on in here. Hard yards work occurs when you start out.. cos its really breaking new frontiers of physical and psychological growth and emotions can run high. Tiring and tough work.

I reckon its better to be exhausted from focused effort than to be tired of doing nothing, which is where most of us were when we started out here. Far better to be tired or taxed by productive effort, than the other more self destructive effort of maintaining the drinking status quo.

Keep going everyone.. its REALLY worth it.
