MAGICAL MARCH MARCH - WEEK THREE

LBH, good to hear from you, sorry about the complications.

Dill, great job on planning ahead of time. I too am going out on Saturday with friends that always have a drink or two, and I am not drinking. I have to think of something to order ahead of time. I love ice tea, especially flavored.

Chill, it is weird how our minds first thought is to think of alcohol when something upsetting happens. I like how you said your reprogrammed mind kicked in. You are doing so well!!!!:goodjob:

Mario, a week of drinking? That is just out of control. I would want to leave the area too. Drunk people are so annoying.:H

Seriously, I watched a TV show last night, Mercy, that showed an Irish family partying on St. Pat's Day. It looked fun in the beginning....but guess what. The repercussions were horrendous. Just like in real life. It was a good thing for me to watch. AT first I thought, they are having so much fun, I wish I could.....then the inability to stop at one or two and the behaviors. The total lack of judgement. Just like me and everyone else in the world who has a drinking problem.

I came home from work, made some soda bread, went for a walk in the beautiful weather with my husband, and came home and enjoyed my soda bread with a cup of tea, just like my Irish grandmother used to. She was against drinking and I have a feeling, suffered much from other's overindulgence of alcohol.

Today, I commit to be AF. :h

MAGICAL MARCH MARCH - WEEK THREE

Hi Marchers

Lots of positivity going around. Have just had my first sober St. Patrick's day in a while and am back from a long walk so feeling good.

Sooty - Have fun shopping. I am going to New York with my girls shopping over the Easter hols. Not really a shopper but it will be nice to spend some time with teenagers that does not involve fighting!! I heard one mom of a teenager describe herself as a wallet on wheels, very appropriate.

LBH - Sorry about the complications, hope things are soon better for you.

Red - Good luck on Saturday. It helps to have a plan in place before you go. That show sounded interesting. It always starts off as fun but as we all know the fun does not last.

Lavande -Enjoy the beautiful weather.

IAD - Where do you get the graphics. I so enjoy them.

Lilmea - Glad you are fighting the good fight, keep it up.

Chill - Well done on resisting the urge.

Spuddle, Mario, Raven, Miss Behaving and anyone else I missed have a great AF Thursday.

Greetings guys, have to be brief as I am about to run and get our youngest (10) from school.
Nice to see all the familiar AF family around, its nice to have a community where I am not the only freak. Not that I think we are freaks but alcohol does seem to feature in nearly every social occasion and I like it I can come here and not stick out for that. Even if I am not as chatty as some and don't say much most days I still feel I belong here and get a lot from checking in each day.

MAGICAL MARCH MARCH - WEEK THREE

Hi Guys - Late check in from me today it has been a busy day.
Started with an early spin class which dealt with all that guilt for last nights cheese and chocolate :H much easier than dealing with a hangover...
Im out for dinner tonight with a male friend who is over from England, he asked if I still wasnt drinking and when I said no his reply was "ok well I think you have made your point now!" so I may be in for a tricky time from him.

LBH - Hope you are feeling better today :lilflower:

Red - I so agree with you, drunk people are very annoying :H

Spuddle - love your new avatar, you are very cute!

Rav - I love my freaky family here too :nutso:

Sending everyone much love this fine AF thursday :l

just logging in to say goodnight. I've been to choir and am pleased to report that we're starting to sound almost pleasant. Conductor talking about arranging a performance which is just a little bit scarey. I'll let you know when it is so that you can all come along
I hope Thursday has been good for us all - I'm off shopping tomorrow so won't be able to call in till the evening.
Have a good friday everyone
love Sooty

MAGICAL MARCH MARCH - WEEK THREE

Another beautiful day in the Midwest. Worked hard all day and then went for a two mile walk all by myself. I actually tried jogging a little too. My knees hurt now, I am too old for that. But, I have spring fever and just love being outside and exercising. I called a friend and tomorrow plan on meeting after work for another walk.

I was thinking what a wonderful gift it is for me (and I am sure for everyone) to be AF today and yesterday. Instead of feeling sick or edgy or worn out, I feel great!!! I can enjoy and take advantage of the spring day, my nerves are calm, and physically I feel healthy. I am going to read here for a time then settle down with a delicious mystery book and have a cup of my herbal nighttime tea.

Have a peaceful evening Lavande, Dill, chill, sooty, cyn, missbehaving, raven, overit, lilmea, lbh, spuddleduck,
