    AF Daily Wednesday 24 June

    Good morning all,

    We have a bright and sunny morning here which always puts me in a good mood. On mornings like this I feel I can do anything. In fact I often think how different my life would be if I could live it only in mornings. But that's enough of dreaming.

    Take care all and have a super AF dream. I am off to weightwatchers to see how much damage I have done with the recent .......... whatever you want to call it.

    Hello Loppy and all to come!

    I feel like I am slowly weaning myself from MWO. I simply do not have the time to spend here that I used to. I plan to check in from time to time, so if there is anything I can do for anyone, please PM me.:h

    I'm so pleased that I was able to be AF during my HS reunion. It really would have helped to take that nervous edge off if I would have been able to have a few beers beforehand. The kids even told me on the way there that I had their permission to drink. Hmmmm, wonder why they still think it's necessary to drink whilst socializing??
    It was interesting to see a couple of my classmates get pretty drunk, and the wife of one spent most of the evening outside smoking (and her alcohol abuse/smoking habit really showed). I had a really good talk with my best friend from back then, and that was so nice. (She drank 1 beer at the bar) I kept thinking how do people do that??? Anyway, it felt good and fairly natural once I got there and the jitters wore off. One of my friends acted a little perturbed because we were drinking pop and she was drinking beer. Oh, well! I told her I wasn't much fun anymore--not that I didn't HAVE fun--I just kind of quit providing some of the entertainment--but yet I'm still pretty witty!:H
    Both nights I got in after 1 am and felt pretty crappy and extremely tired all day. The drive home was pretty awful since we left at 5 am. I can't (nor do I want to) imagine how miserable I would have felt had I been drinking.

    You all have a great summer--I will check in with you as I can especially to hear how everyone is doing (and your gardens). Thank you for all your support! :l

        Hi Loppy, LVT, AFM, and all to come!

        Loppy, thanks for getting the thread started for us! I sure to agree with you about the morning. If only we could feel that strong and refreshed and resolved all day! I realized that if I take short breaks during the day and relax all by myself, alone, it helps somewhat.

        LVT, I'm super glad your reunion went well and that you maintained sobriety. I think I would have stayed away from such an event, personally because: I know I would want to drink, and I know I would drink too much and regret it. I am not as far along the sober path as you! I'm happy for you.

        AFM, I don't know what 'running with the wolves means', but I hope you survived it!

        Marshy, from yesterday: I am so glad you shared that story about the fox. I have lived out in the country (as opposed to the city) now for 17 years, and over the years on occasion have heard that sound. At first it really scared me, but after awhile, I came to understand that it was probably just some animal in the woods, but I didn't know which. I was thinking maybe coyotes. But, now I know it was fox! Mystery solved!

        It is going up to 90 and is muggy today in Ohio. I am pulling out my bike and cleaning off the cobwebs to see if I can get back to my old recreational bike riding. I am mostly a walker, but maybe biking would be fun again. I'll see. I kind of quit because it seemed hard on my knees. Besides, I didn't have much time since I had so much drinking to accomplish! LOL! Anyway, I've been taking glucosamine-condroitin for my knees and they seem stronger. And since I've been building my af time, I feel more confident about being able to stay on my bike!

        That reminds me: has anyone heard from hulagirl in a while?

        Have a great day, Abbers!

        Dont forget, you can: start late, start over, be unsure, try and fail AND STILL SUCCEED!

        If it is important to you, you will find a way. If not, you will find an excuse.

          Dill - the weird thing is I've lived in semi-rural places, but I'd never heard a fox (or even seen a fox up close) until I lived in a busy, built-up part of the city. Sometimes when I get home late there's one loitering about in the road outside and it looks at me as if to say "yeah, what are you looking at?", and then carries on having a good scratch. They're very bold :H

            Happy Wed ABerooooooos! garlic flavoured hugs all around......

            back in civilization now, all cleaned up and waging war in the corporate jungle. I expected to have internet but alas did not. Camping/boating was super fun and Dx and I worked on our tans and did a ton of great sober relaxing. While on the boat some blue herons flew very close to us. Also when we got into a little inlet we spotted a deer. We got closer very quietly (using the electric motor) and saw a Doe with her two fawns.....so cute!!! we got some pictures I'll post on the forum later today.

            Cindi, how you doing today? XXXXX

            MedMama, glad to have you back!

            dunno where Hulagirl is hiding.....

            be well everyone!

              Hello Abbers,

              Det, I am doing great. Thank you for asking. xoxo

              Today I am working on a remote gig and it is so nice not to be traveling this week. I love it.

              Otherwise, hot and muggy in the deep south. One would think it is summer.

              I am slowly weeding one of my gardens as best I can with a bum arm. Someday, this arm will be back to normal, I hope. It is frustrating to have to do so much one handed.

              It sounds like all are having a wonderful day. It is good to hear.

              LVT, I will miss seeing you around as often but I am very glad you feel like you can move on a bit in your sober life!!

              Love,
              Cindi

                Hi all

                Quick check in from me!

                I'm also finding i'm spending less and less time on MWO than I used to, although I drop in to read every day or two - still committed to staying AF though, and good to see how you are all doing.

                I'll be back later, take care all
