    September Serenity - week 4

    A very good morning folks..... Yes I'm late again with week 4, it's been that kinda month

    Paguy - a fibreglass cast at least sounds light, I assume you will have crutches and will soon have mastered getting around, I'm sending you healing vibes.

    I am going to be constantly in the company of others day and night for the next few weeks and it's made me realize how solitary I've become. I have always enjoyed alone time and I now realize that I dealt with coping with other people by drinking so this is all new to me.I have to say I'm learning about myself all the time and that rock, on top of a mountain in Tibet gets more appealing all the time :H

    Have a wonderful Tuesday guys......

    September Serenity - week 4

    Good Tuesday Morning Serene Friends,

    So far so good here in Tennessee...fabulous weather and great people! I am so fortunate I have a challenging career.

    Chill-it sounds like you had a fab birthday and you are enjoying your newly created life.

    Lav-no, you wouldn't like this weather. Keep us posted with new chick flicks. Today I get to see the floor mats for the Platinum Escalade. This car costs $100K. Who the hell needs $1,500 floor mats?

    Mr. G-I'm going to Paris in less than 3 weeks. No, it's for business....not for fun :-(

    Papmom-I loved your pics and congratulations on your achievements and enjoy your vacation.

    Paguy-fiberglass sounds good! I'm glad the doc gave you some good news!

    Cyn-you sound good....any news about how your friend's husband is doing?

    Shelley-what did the doctor say about the neuroma?

    Star, LBH and Dill-where are you guys?

    A cheery hello to Sooty, Rustop, and anyone else who comes along, have a great AF Tuesday!

      Greeting's Serener's and guest's,

      Rusty, you sure are the jetsetter. It is so great to see another member obviously thriving on being af! I bet you love it if you get the opportunity to run in different cities. Do you?
      Hope everybody is well. Hang in there.

      All the best folk's!

        Mr. G,

        Are you the tanned, mustachioed beauty in the picture? If yes, then I just made myself president of your fan club!:H Oh my!

        G-I have to be honest with you. Most days I am AF, but there have been some days where I haven't been AF in the last 4 months....but life is SOOOO much better than it has been in the last 4 years! But yes, I travel all over the world-Japan, Spain, France, England, Amsterdam, Mexico, Canada. It gets old.

        Keep strumming that guitar.....lookin' good!!!

          Good morning everyone

          Thanks for starting us off Chill. Week 4 already, where is the time going. Any ideas regarding an October name? October Optimists is one suggestion. When I was drinking every day, October Ostrich was more applicable but now that I am getting more and more AF time under my belt I do feel more optimistic.

          I am an only child and like you Chill I do need time alone. Am I the only parent of teenagers who does not dread the empty nest. I am actually looking forward to having mine and hubby's life back again. Going where we want to go, doing the things that we want to do.

          Rusty - you are a jet setter. Work or pleasure Paris is worth a visit so enjoy.

          Sped - Sorry to hear about your neuroma, what are they going to do about it?

          Paguy - Fibreglass sounds good, presume it is very lightweight.

          Papmom - Loved the pics.

          Dill and LBH, thinking of you both, check in if you get a chance. Everyone else, Lav, Sooty, Rebirth, Cyn, Star, Guitarista and anyone else I missed big hello.

            Hi Rustop!

            Yep Rusty, but i don't have the mo these day's. The porno star look had it's time!
            The main thing is that your thinking is slowly shifting re your drinking.

              Hi Rustop,

              I bet you look forward to having time free for you and your husband.

              G-ah, you would look good with or without a mustache! Oh yes, my thinking has totally changed in the last 4 months, with the help of Baclofen. I have been drunkfree since the end of May. When I do drink, I actually do stop at a maximum of 2 glasses without a struggle (what a relief).

                  That's good progress. And i'd imagine this progress, and stopping at 2 glasses is not lost on your subconcious mind either. I'm glad the bac is helping you, as it seems to do for many, but i know that shifting our thinking, is what we need to work on, do, and maintain. Whatever it takes. Rock on Rusty!

                    :H

                    It was something people definately either liked, or HATED.

                        Hi Spuddle,

                        Haven't seen you on this thread in ages! I've missed you. How is my favorite duck?

                        G-when I get a chance today, I'm going to look at your YouTube video, but only when I'm in private! :H BTW, I don't think with that hot bod a porno look would be so bad Just ask the ladies here....we'll tell you. Regarding the drinking thinking...fortunately, I have such a demanding career and I put in A LOT of 12-14 hour days so I was never consumed with wondering where I was going to get my next drink, etc., like many people suffer from. It has definitely been work, as I know you know it is, to shift my thinking on the weekends, when I am alone. I am vulnerable then, but it's happening!

                            Good Morning Abbers:

                            Yes, the fiberglass cast is lightweight ? much lighter than the plaster I was lugging around. It also has a bit of ?wiggle? room which makes me feel less constrained ? life is much better!

                            Chill ? I hear you about needing time alone. I am right there with you. I don?t know if any one you saw my post on the Alcoholism and Introversion thread previously but I am an extreme introvert and being around people all the time really zaps the energy right out of me. I definitely need my quiet time.

                            G ? What can I say ? You Are the Man! Nice photo? My vote is things are better mustach-free :H

                            Rusty ? I hear you about traveling for work. I generally travel 2 weeks out of the month, mostly to places in the States. I have been to the UK and Mexico for business. It does get rather old living in hotels and out of the suitcase. It also makes it more challenging to be AF so I really admire your progress. I have to admit that my current physical condition which has prevented me from traveling for work has in a way helped me with my sobriety. I know I will definitely have challenges once I hit the road again.

                            I had very vivid dreams last night about drinking ? the first time that has happened since I started this journey. And the interesting part is that the dream was with my siblings (1 brother and 1 sister) and parents (both deceased). In the dream, my brother and I got completely hammered and insulted my mother (who, by the way, was the most charming soul on earth). I have not dreamt of my father in a very long time ? he?s been deceased for 26 years. I did speak with my brother and sister yesterday as we are planning a family get together this coming weekend since I am a bit more mobile once again. I guess I have some suppressed anxiety about being around them in an AF state!

                            I finally finished reading The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon yesterday. What a great novel! If you like reading novels that are rich in plot and character development, this one is for you!

                            Well, folks, I need to spend part of today ?psyching? myself up to get back to work tomorrow. I have not booted up my work laptop since Sept 3 so I can only imagine what is waiting for me in my Inbox! :bonkers:

                            Have a great day everyone!
                            John

                              GM Friends!

                              Week 4 already? Yikes!!!

                              Thanks for remembering Chill. Enjoy your family time - really. Your quality alone time will resume quick enough

                              Rustop, I like your name choice for October.........sounds positive, optimistic!!

                              Rusty, I am a 100% Chevy woman - have 2 of them parked in my garage......not a damn Cadillac in sight

                              John, the good old drinking dreams.......had several of them in the beginning but none lately. They are rather disturbing, aren't they? Good news about the liteweight cast - nice!! Enjoy your commute to work tomorrow - the same way I do

                              Speaking of work...........
                              Greetings to G, Dill, Sooty, LBH, Shelley, Star & everyone.
