Hello abbers! And welcome to Iris, Maslow23 and Leelou from yesterday.

It's gone quite chilly here now. Feels like winter is on the way. (And I suppose it is :H).

I'm feeling a little creaky this morning after playing netball last night. I forgot to stretch afterwards. Doh. And I've got a bruise on my arm from my vicious opponent!

Not working today, so I'm off to the gym. They seem to have turned up the heating in the pool a notch now it's getting cold. Luvverly

Tryin' out this avatar pic thing. Might even crack a smile next time :H

AF 2 days and counting

Hi all,

It's evening time here, and I can write this day down as my 2nd day done!
I felt a small urge just before I drove home, to stop by and get a bottle of wine, but I was not going to! It helped remembering posts from here.
I was worried I would sleep really bad last night, but I slept good. Tried to drink lots of water. Abit nervous tonight I might not sleep well.
Trying to stay focused on my goal.

Have a good Tuesday everyone.

Morning abbers!

Welcome to the new peeps on the thread.

I just dont have anything to say. I hope one of these days soon I crawl out from under the bed.

Have a happy Tuesday

Here's hoping for a great day for all. I get to see my children this afternoon, so needless to say I am extremely hyped about this. Let's hope I don't screw it up ;-)

Morning my fellow abbers and happy Tuesday to everyone!

Feel in a more productive mood today - yesterday not so much but that's the way it goes sometimes and I can accept that.

Sausage & Leelou, congrats on getting off to a great start, and Geenie hang in there - it will get better in time.

Hello friends and good wishes and vibes to all today!

Another beautiful fall day here, forecast is rain for a day or two. I have to mow at the cemetery one more time after the leaves fall and before it snows! I will be wearing my insulated coveralls I'm sure!

Yesterday was such a good day. I wish they were all like that.

That's all I've got today....I'm feeling pretty productive also, I better run with it!

Have a good day! :h

Hi guys,

I'm feeling pretty productive and happy today as well. I am successfully kicking this nicotine habit (easily - the Easy Way...by Alan Carr is a damn good book) and I am feeling really great! I have no desire to drink at all either, I am relating a lot of his information to drinking as well as smoking. I have a lot of schoolwork to do for my course still so I am trying to get that done. Luckily work is not busy at all this week so I am able to accomplish some things before the insanity starts next week. I have a massage tonight and intend to have another nice evening.

Hope everyone else has a great day!

Love and hugs,
Uni

Hello Ablanders! Today is a good day here as well. The puppy peed on me when I picked him up to take him outside. In the old days I would have been fuming furious fit-to-be-tied mad. But today? I was able to laugh and be grateful for washing machines. (well, and also grateful I don't wear many dry clean clothes any more LOL!) Mr. Doggy will be handling the potty duties for the remainder of the day. I'm grateful for that too!

I love all the avatars!! I understand totally why some may not be comfortable posting their pics but for those who can, it's nice to put "the faces with the names."

Peace I am thinking of you and your mammogram today. I had one yesterday (although without the added worries of any known lumps!!). It's been several years for me and I was glad to see that the boob squishing aspect of the technology has greatly improved. I hope all is clear for you.

LVT enjoy these wonderful days!

Marshy you have awesome glasses! I wear glasses too and am thinking I'm due for a new pair. A BRUISE?? Wow - netball is a contact sport, eh?? GO MARSHY!!! KICK SOME ASS!!!

Uni - good to hear that dumping Nic is going well! Al & Nic are quite a pair, aren't they. You will feel WONDERFUL once Nic has been out of your life for a short time. It's so nice to breathe.

Sausage it's awesome to see you! You have probably posted an update that I have missed so I need to go catch up on some reading. Onward and upward is right.

Maslow I hope you are having fun with your kids today!

Greenie you must be exhausted after the events of last week. Give yourself a break. Do you have lots of ice cream under that bed? If not, we need to send Ben and Jerry over to your house STAT.

Leelou, you are doing great! Congrats on two days down. Try not to stress too much if you have trouble sleeping. That's normal, and it will pass. One day (or hour or minute) at a time. You are good to note the importance of staying focused on your goal. It WILL get easier if you can just stay with it.

AA, what a good reminder about just accepting the days for what they are and going with the flow. If left to my own devices, I can make mountains out of mole hills faster than Greenie can say jack rabbit.

Deter - Only two vices! Wow - I'm impressed!

Well, I have a few errands to run so I'm going to toddle off. I'm trying to take it easy today as the rest of the week is going to be a bit more hectic from a schedule stand point. Enjoy the breaks when they come along I guess!

I really want chocolate but I'm going for an apple instead. No booze though. There will be none of that for me today, that's for sure. Or smokes - none of those either today.

Strength and Hope! We CAN do this!

It's not supposed to be a contact sport. I need to get some biceps like yours to fight 'em off!

[LVT25]

AF daily - Tuesday, October 20th

Yes, those are some VERY impressive biceps DG!!! Remind me not to mess with you!:goodjob:

woohoo dg...you are BUFF!

greenie...isn't it crazy how emotional toils take it out of you so much more than physical? it's just draining. thinking of you, girl.

i had my mammo and the results are, no worries!!! the place i went to does it all right then and there. i was in and out in 45 minutes!
i was so happy that i went and bought about 25 lbs of candy and fun stuff for my daughter's halloween party!

anyway, i hope all who struggle find strength and all who are doing well, keep it going!

peace~

ps i have a picture of myself in my profile...felt funny having myself glaring at me everytime i log in!

I couldn't log on this morning as I woke up late and had a terrible time getting moving!
But I'm here now... and day 10 went perfectly fine.
My new ploy is don't bring money to work so 1. it won't be stolen like how I lost $100 last week! and 2. I won't fantasize about stopping for wine on the way home during the day.
It worked PERFECTLY today. I knew I didn't have money so I just moved on w/my thoughts and got even more work done than usual.
Moving toward day 11.
Which I am not undervaluing or taking for granted. It's great!
Liberating is a better word.

BAH that buffness is nothing. That's over a year ago. I am now completely and totally overcome with buffness to the point I could totally kick Deter's butt. He knows not what a bruise is...yet. (OK...now you have heard my tough talk which is a lot of BS!!) I should put this side note in the locker room thread but I had a lower body workout with PT today. On one thing she had me doing she said "if you need lighter weights we can switch them out along the way.." Of course I said "I'm no pussy!!!" Then a tad bit later I said "well, maybe I'm a pussy..." :H

Anyway...enough of that. Truth be told gravity is taking it's toll no matter how hard I work.

1967 - good for you! And good for explorer ways that keep the fantasies at bay for you! You are right - sobriety sure is liberating.

Deter I am truly sorry about that bruise you have. It is just so much fun to give you crap around here that I cannot help myself.

Peace - :yougo::yougo: I am so relieved to hear that the mammogram results are clear for you! Are you going to share the candy? Please?

LVT and Marshy - my face is totally red now.

Well, Mr. Doggy and the Pooper oops I mean Cooper are home now so I need to go tend to stuff. What a nice and upbeat thread for today! I'm feeling silly and that is fun. Have a great rest of the day all - until tomorrow. Strength and hope!
