        Good morning Peeps,

        Hi Seen, Popeye and Rusto ? hope you have a good day.

        Det & Becks ? Congrates on 90 days!! :goodjob:

        4theBoyz ? Happy belated B/day ? hope you had a good one. I will see your 60 days and raise you. Good to see you ? you were one of the first to welcome me here.

        Eastender ? 46 days!! Well done!

        Peanut ? I took some mild sleeping tablets in the early days (nothing heavy, just to help get a pattern going) I took them early, about 6ish to make the evenings shorter and to prevent that thuggy head in the morning. Yuk. I also came down with coughs & colds. Never used to get sick ? system too pickled for anything to survive. Lol

        Lila ? Look after yourself sweetie. I know it?s tough to eat when you?re down & stressed. Just make it small and nutritious. Keep strong.

        How dumb am I. After 32 AF days out of 40 (not consecutive) I decided to do May ? big step! So on Wed, 30 April I had some wine. :huh: Wanted to start on even numbers. How hard is it to count up to 30? That AL is a sneaky bastard!!

        Man, this daily check-in can get long. :l to all to come!

        Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy everyone!!

        See you tomorrow.

        Take care

            Morning all
            Eveyone just popping in this morning, sounds like all is well, so far, for the month of May.....Going to incorporate some morning exercise into my routine...I have every excuse in the book as to why I can't seem to make this a regular occurance......maybe if I spent less time on the computer in the a.m. I would find myself having more time.....ya think????

            I hope everyone reaches their goals for today.....

                Hi All,

                My injured kiddo is back in school today. Now I get to catch up on all that stuff I have been putting off. my husb took the day off and did the morning school run. Nice of him. All is well in my world.

                Seen, welcome back. Hit my 90 day mark on Saturday. Stay positive.

                Popeye, you sound great. 24 days is really good. For me getting those first 2 AF weekends in was a big accomplishment. (I know others say it is the first one but I found it tougher to get through the second - b/c of that stupid brain trick that says if you have been AF for this long (12-13) days, you really don't have a problem).

                RU, love having my kids home and then love it when they go back!!!

                Jinja, loved your rant yesterday - quite fun(to read anyway). we probably don't do enough of that on this thread. sometimes I think we are so busy being supportive and positive that we forget the occasional rant is good for us.

                East, it is good to have you here.

                Janice, Char, Want, Cindi, - thanks for posting all that stuff about acceptance yesterday. I know that I will not succeed long term without accepting my AF forever fate and yet I just have not been able to cross that bridge. AF is tough enough without that damned mod thing hanging around the back of my head.

                Best to everyone today. Will try to pop in later.

                  Goodmorning all. Day 8 for me! Thank you Jinja. I think I'll take VItamins, too. Day 8!!!! This has actually been not too hard. I was so tired yesterday, well, alcohol is a poison, isn't it? It's a good month, this May.

                      Good morning all. First time posting on this thread but looks like a great place to be. Today I have 29 days AF and almost feel like I should stay home and just lock the doors or something... I know I'll be fine, but I haven't had 30 days sober in over 5 years. I think, well what's next? Then I remember, oh yeah, 60 days dummy : ).

                      Best wishes to all of you and have a great AF day.
                      I went to my doctor and told him I had a serious drinking problem and that I was in desperate need of a solution. He said, 'Stop drinking.' I said, 'I don't get it..' He said, 'Go home and think about it.'

                        Congrats to Becks and Determinator for 90 days!

                        Things have been crazy busy at work so I haven't had much time to keep up with everyone. Also I've been working on a bunch of projects on the homefront to get my house redecorated. Gosh it is so much easier to do all this with a clear head!

                        Day 23 today!

                        One of the things that I picked up on the couple of times I went to an AA meeting: You can either choose to work on recovery or you can choose to work on relapse. I choose to work on recovery. The past few days I have found myself lamenting the loss of a relationship with someone very special to me. I don't know if the relationship damage is permanent but I have begun to resign myself that it is. During these moments the urge to have a drink is stronger than any other time. But I make myself focus on recovery; because if there is any chance at all the relationship can be saved I want to be sober. I also want to be sober if I have to start over with someone new.

                        suddenly I see
                        Why the hell it means so much to me.

                          You post is sounding very positive. I too am focusing on recovery. My marriage is in serious trouble, but I know whatever needs to be dealt with needs to be dealt with sober. Thanks for sharing a very important thought.

                          Congrats on the 23 days. I'm only at 9, but feel so muche better than I did 10 days ago.

                          Nothing is ever better when AL is involved. Something I need to focus on.

                            27 days AF. Let me be the the first to congratulate you on 30 days BigMac :goodjob: I have faith that you will do it. I'm right behind you and hope to never catch up to you.

                              Good Morning Abbers,

                              Wow!! Lots of good positive posts today. It makes ME feel good to read all of them.

                              Yes, without our sobriety, it doesn't matter what else is happening, we will eventually have nothing. Period.

                              I agree, working on my recovery is a heck of a lot more important than working on relapse. Critical, actually.

                              What we have to remember when those whisperings start up is that we can enjoy life without alcohol and as we spend more time sober, we will reinforce that more and more. We can savor the wonderful moments and deal with the bad ones rationally.

                              Love to all and thanks for a great start to a beautiful day.
                              Cindi
