Hi all! I hope our East Coast friends are not being buried alive under snow! Or rain! Mother Nature seems very busy these days.

Today is my 3 year anniversary of being nicotine free! WOW I'm so glad that monkey is off my back.

I'm zoom zooming off for a little Mary Kay action and then some much needed and missed time at the gym. Will check back later to see how all you Ab Flabbers oops I mean Ab Fabbers are doing! :H

:b&d: Oh wait. Wrong thread.

Cold and 30 MPH gusting. No kayaking today. Be a good way to practice a roll don't you think?

Lav, I never got to the soup yesterday. But I have greek yogurt which I'll use instead of the half & half.

Hey there chillgirl!! Great to see you here!

Off to the newspaper and coffee.

Good morning Ab Fabbers,

11 months since my last hangover - Woo Hoo :happy:
I hope I NEVER forget that lousy feeling - the memory of that keeps me AF!

DG, a big congrats to you on your 3 NF years!!!!!
Did you find it much harder to quit smoking than drinking? I sure know I did.......the Nicodemon is brutal...........

Well, here I am experiencing my first 'Snow-icane'! That's what the weather people are calling this bizzare storm. 45-55 mph winds blowing snow all over the place.........
I hope I can find my way out to the chicken coop to check on the girls :H

DG & Greenie, wishing you a great AF Friday & Greetings to everyone else who stops in today
Today is definitely a SOUP day!

Thank you Kate! With all this rain I think I will be writing some more, here is the one from the other night.............

it made me sad, it made me cry
it caused me shame and it made me lie
it took away joy & feeling good
its left me lonely & misunderstood
it caused me hurt and it caused me pain
it got into my head & made me insane!

Now im no longer sad and no longer cry
I can see it so clear and i understand why
The pain is now beginning to fade
and my life no longer feels like a charade
im not giving in or willing to loose
my new life began when i said bye to the booze.....

I cannot BELIEVE I forgot the :yougo::yougo::yougo: Go Go Girls in honor of Lav's 11 months AF! Hi Kate and you are right we need to arrange one HECK of a celebration this time next month. That one year anni is truly something special!

It's awesome to have your post here with the Fab Abbers Chillgirl! What can you give up next?? Well, there's sugar. Or like Greenie, you could consider giving up celibacy if that's an issue.

If you lose your mind and decide to go for the roll, please make sure to turn on the video camera!!

I hope you don't blow away today! Or your hens! I found the first 3 months or so of quitting smoking TOTALLY BRUTAL compared to AL. And there was nothing easy about the first few months without Al. Sounds like our experience with similar with old Nic.

Funny though...I think AL might be a sneakier one in the long haul. I really don't have AL CRAVINGS these days, but I can easily see how the "just one would be OK" type thinking could easily creep in if I stopped paying attention to my sobriety. With Nic, I really never even think about it any more. Funny the similarities and differences. Is the longer term AL thing like that for you?

Well, the Spam will be just fine with a little garlic, won't it?

Have fun on your extended weekend at home! (casino time aside)

Have a great rest of the day everyone! It was a good Mary Kay morning and I have an order to deliver this afternoon! I'm so glad to be sober!

Thanks for the Go Go Girls DG

I think I was so excited about this anni coming today that I started yesterday's thread with today's date - apoligies for confusing everyone!

Truthfully, I really don't think about AL much anymore - when I do it's in terms of 'No, I don't drink anymore' & I'm OK with that. Right now the battlefront for me is keeping the Nicodemon out of my life. On the one hand I am happy & grateful to be NF 9+ months but on the other hand - if someone walked in here right now & handed me a smoke - I'd fire it right up, I know I would!!!!!! I want that 'mental desire' to go away - forever!!

I did find the chicken coop this morning & all is well with the girls The winds & snow have died down quite a bit, hope it's near over

Have fun Mary Kay-ing!!

Chill - thank you for the poem - we'll have to get you published
