Meeting friend for lunch and having nice relaxing day today - love being af - feel calmer and happier and like I am more in the moment.
Good day y'all

Morning abbers!

Great stuff bear! Roll on!

Still working away at sorting and removing FH stuff. I moved a lot of things to the driveway in boxes, etc a week ago. Draped with a tarp and a few bricks to protect from the dew. Informed him of on-coming rain last week. Well the tarp didn't do a whole lot in last night's storm. Why do I feel unsettled over it? It is certainly not my fault. Ugh.
Good, good, good to be sober doing this!!! I see the sky is clearing. Maybe I'll wrestle with the tarp a bit.

Have an AF, guilt free day!

Morning Abbers,

Great job bear - AF is the way to go

Greenie - the rain & wind is here!! Winds guting up to 50 mph!!!!
I quite imagine your FH's stuff blowing around all over the place - try to not worry too much about it

Definitely an indoor day here - guess I'll find something useful to do

Wishing everyone a terrific AF Monday!

Happy un-hung Monday ABenators!

Bear, Lavande, Greeneyes, good to see at least 4 folks found the alarm this morning must be a busy day.

fighting off this flu or whatever it is, otherwise doing pretty spiffy here in the snow. A friend emailed me the following and I just had to share this as it was so positive and so true:

Joy........by Carrie Hart


Joy does not depend upon circumstances. It is not necessary to be slender and beautiful, rich and in love, in order to feel joy. It is necessary only to be alive, to take one more breath, then reach down into your center, see the flame that burns there and let it grow brighter.

You are love. You are wealth and beauty. You are the essence of all that is good and light and bright. You are everything you ever dreamt of being, right now. It is all within you. It is all within your energy. All of the possibilities of life sparkle within the energy that you hold in the flame that burns in your center.

And while you are learning to let it shine more brightly and to color your physical life in brighter colors, why not just be happy and joyful every day? Why not wake up at dawn with a song and a light step, greeting the sky and the birds, the trees and the snow, the raindrops and the rays of sunshine? Why not give thanks for simply being alive for one more day, able to live this amazing experience and have this unparalleled adventure?

Yes, yes. The joy is there. The happiness is there. The love is there. And it is you.

Thanks for this Det. Reminds me of when I went to see a hypnotherapist when I was trying to give up drinking in the beginning. He said: "Everything you need is within you." It's good to remember that. (And then he charged me 70 quid for the privilege :H)

Hi Bear & Lav (stay out of those winds!).

Hi All,

Day 22 here....AF and NF and feeling good. I've been going to the gym and running. My friend and I are going to look at a weight machine a guy has for sale. Would be nice to have a place set up in my workshop.

Have a good week everyone!

Hi All
Good hearing everyone is doing well. Don i have done the same thing set up the weights in the garage workshop. Great to have near by when a workout can sub for the negative in life. Craig's list is a great resource for exercise eqp. people are always posting stuff they don't use. I am in the middle of a weight workout right now and reading between sets. ? how come the weights keep getting heavier the longer i look at them.


Stay Healthy and keep Fighting

I had an amazing sauna today. Drank loads of water all day and my skin feels great. So many new things coming into my life since AF.
