    Good Morning, Absville!

    Well, folks, here we are starting our final week of the July "Flight into Abstinence"--amazing, isn't it??!! And whether we've been on board for some time or we're just getting started--we're all on this flight together! Gives new meaning to the phrase "online community," doesn't it!! :l

    Gotta keep this short--I'll check back later on this afternoon...

    In the meantime:

    Good Morning

    Hello everyone, on this - another hot sunny day in the usual miserable wet UK !!! - I don't know what's going on here - but I Liiiiike it !!

    Well day 6, and today I am feeling confident enough to go out on my own. I'm going to go into town and buy myself a little something as a treat. I've saved ?72 by not drinking so far !! - I can't believe I have spent so much money just to feel 'normal' or go over the edge and not remember anything at all - what was the bloody point ?!!!
    My biggest challenge is NOT walking into a pub for a quickie, because that was my stumbling block on my last abs attempt. Willpower Girl !!!

    I'll let you know how I got on.
    Have a lovely day
    Yummy clothes - here I come !!!

    Lots of love
    Bambs

      Discovery..We are all human, dont beat yourself up,everyone here has done it at some point,just makes you bigger and stronger for next time.
      LLuf..Day 29 is brilliant, i have got a habit of argueing with myself also.
      MattD..Mother in laws cant live with em, not allowed to shoot em..
      Sophia.. obviously you have never heard me sing.
      CV.. keep up the good work you obviously go above and beyond for everyone on this site.
      Southernbelle..Took your advice last night and it works wonders, made me feel a million times better too.
      Anyway Well done to everyone..Gonna go and get my fishing stuff ready.Check in on you all later..Wayne

          Monday Morning

          Wonders Never Cease!
          I actually got up and EXERCISED this morning!! Did my step aerobics. Took about 10 minutes to break through the "wall of pain", but I was able to exercise for 10 minutes longer than last time, so I'm glad.
          Everyone has been so great here. I'm starting to get used to Absville now, and it's feeling more comfortable. Thanks to everyone for making it such a welcoming and warm place to live!
          Unfortunately, I can't say much to individuals right now, 'cause I have to get ready for work, but I'll be back later, no doubt!
          Hugs,:h Kathy

            Mornin Abers,

            It's a beautiful day in Abville!

            I decided to start the week off with healthy food and see if I can stick to it all week!

            So far:
            1 cup Boathouse Farms carrot juice
            1 plum
            1 cup multi-grain cherrios
            1/2 cut fresh blueberries
            1- 6oz Yoplait light yogurt

            Do I have to count the coffee?????? OK....
            2 cups coffee.......no sugar though!

            This blue print reminds me that one of my favorite drinks was a "Blue Monday"... Oh well...Its been replaced with blueberries and yogurt!

            Wayne, I'm happy that you tried the "sweet" words!! Its amazing how little it takes to win the heart of your princess, isn't it? A fishing trip with your dad!!.....my favorite thing!!

            We had a fun weekend. Lots of work but our son had a childhood friend over from Atlanta. They played like little boys again. (They are 27)
            Belle of course lovedddd it. She and the friend were in a "race" across the field and she cut in front of him and he fell and tried to roll to miss her....broke his collarbone!!!!!
            The good news is that he is ok, back in Atlanta and going to work this morning! We all felt so bad! Belle really is taking it hard. :s

            I'm out of here for awhile! Be back later!

              New week!

              Hey all,

              Wayne what do you mean your wife was "stuck" with you? My guess is she is incredibily proud of you and considers it an anniversary gift like no other that you are sober. I for one am so in awe of anyone who can put their relationships before alcohol. You are a HERO!!!

              It's day 14 of non-stop hospitality for me with a new crew coming in today while the old ones are still here. Was that you Susan who said it's better that my house is trashed than ME trashed? I love that! I've been repeating it over and over. Funny how little sayings can get you through some rough times. My standards have to drop or I'll drive myself crazy! I guess if the sheets are clean that's all that matters.

              Calgon take me away!!!

              Love you guys,
              Lori

                      feeling much better now

                      Thanks for everyone's encouragement. I do want abs for the long haul . . .I just need to get a handle on those irrational thoughts that hit me like nobody's business. I am going to practice my yoga more often and start mediating. I read a great book called "Mindful Recovery"--I just need to start incorpating the suggestions regularly. And start back to taking the spplements regularly.

                        Hi All,
                        Just popping in to say hi! Things were a little rough for me this weekend after the shot on Friday, didn't make it to work today. Finally started to feel better this afternoon. I'm up to 18 days of abs. I guess it's kinda easy to keep track of how long since I have to keep track of how long I've been on tx so I know when to make dr's appt and such. I had blood work done Friday and my white blood count dropped significantly. They said it's still ok, but I have to be extra careful where I go and who I'm around since a low WBC makes it easy to get sick.

                        Kathy glad to hear that you are feeling at home in absville.

                        Susan and Dierdre you are doing a great job this month!

                        Bambs isn't it amazing to see how much money you are saving!

                        Gabby, Wayne, Lori, Kim, Carole, Nancy, and anyone else I may have missed. Keep up the great work!

                          Made it for a Week!

                          Yay! Seven Days! One week of Abs! I'm so glad, and if it wasn't for all of you, I know it would have been so much harder, if even possible at all. Coming here to post everyday makes so much difference! The Absville Community is a strong and vibrant place to be where we share the good and the bad, the ups and the downs.:l I am very grateful to be here!!!
                          Marcie, I'm glad that you are posting periodically and sorry that you had a difficult weekend. I hope that your future treatments go a little more smoothly! A special hug to you!
                          Love to all! Kathy
