Hi Everyone: I had an early AM stint of getting my g-son off to school & taking care of the little one while my son-in-law slept off working a double shift. I've got to go back in a few hours to cook dinner. Busy. I came on-line, because when I get really busy like that, I think about AL. I didn't let my brain dwell, but a thought did enter. I quickly dispersed the thought w/a little activity & some food. Any remote desire is gone now.

Thank you for the congrats on the 30 days. You too Mohun. A bar would not be the best place for me to visit. I'm going to have a great family meal tonight w/a great big soda to go w/it.

Take care. WIP: stay strong. You too DG. You're going through a lot, but you're choosing not to drink. That's what millions of people do every day. I will stay sober too.

Mary

Evening (?) all

Thanks again everyone for your support last night. I'm feeling a bit better today - even though it's a friday (my hardest day of the week). WIP you are right - I am thinking far too much about alcohol and reading back on my recent posts, thats so obvious now. i'm going to keep busy, not think about it, if I do turn my mind to other stuff and think -what can I actually do / achieve in my sober time. i'm certainly not going to dwell on it / sniff it or wonder about the taste - that was a really dumb thing to do!!

I'll be back later, but for now i'm going to try and turn my mind to other stuff. Thanks again everyone and have a great AF weekend!!

Good afternoon
awip : I agree with your words to hula girl about just needing to go and do things even if your scared, nervous, or just plain would rather stay home. One thing I always have to tell myself is to just go because 99% of the time I end up having a really good time. It's getting out the door that is hardest for me.
DG - I'm making a little patchwork t-shirt of a little kitty for one of my friends little girls. It actually is turning out pretty cute. (so far ) I have not done anything in months because my hands shook to hard. It's pretty cool being able to get back into. Oh, and gummy bears....I think that's a safe enough craving. yummm
Det : I as well appreciated your analogy (sp?) with the wolf and the cliff. Can't say I have heard that one before. hehe
reteacher : Sounds like you have a lovely evening planned for tonight to celebrate
Sausage : I'm glad your feeling better today!
Happy Fri night to all

Good Day Abbers!

Spent most of my morning clicking here, clicking there!

Highlights today are:

Aidanspappa's two threads... the 'Portch Light' , in particular, is amazing stiff! BOTH ARE MUST READS!

Hulagirl- indentifying as really NOT wanting to go out, yet Stargirls reminder that 99% of the time, it turns out good (like going to the gym... once there, I am good!).

Deter- you are killing me- I don't know if I will ever look at a wolf the same way!

Day 28 half done. I am off to ski in the mountain this weekend. Have a great weekend.... I shall be clicking in often, as the beast is really trying me on for size today!

Hi everyone,

Stressed! Work stress. Impending visit to parents stress, where I'll be offered alcohol 25,000 times a day even though I keep saying I don't want any/don't drink any more. And I'm not going there until Monday so I've got two more days to get wound up about it before it even happens!

Feeling better now I'm home from work drinking cherryade, my new drug of choice (I caught myself plotting about buying it yesterday coz the shop that sells the best stuff would be closed by the time I finished work tonight and I wanted to make sure I had some at home. Sound familiar?)

Night all

kitkat - coffee and a good book is how I hope to spend a lot of time this weekend! I just started reading Water for Elephants - a novel with a circus backdrop. I think I'm going to love it once I get into it. What are you reading?

Twilight, and I am really getting into it now I just have to get the other books in the series.
