October Optimism - Week 2

Chill Girl, thanks for welcoming me to this post. I have subscribed to it and will just hang out here with you guys. I'm on day 10 AF, so am reading, reading, reading.

I'll just keep hanging on to all of your coattails if that's ok.

Choochie I am feeling much better thanks. My last drinking test on the weekend proved to me that I am much stronger than i thought. Annoyed about the new spots on my face. very odd

John ( new senior member)I am getting huge spots on my forehead and I dont know why. It's not a good look when you are in your late thirties! I am not eating anything unusual either..

Hmm, is it an allergic reaction to something you ate? Have you overdosed on chocolate?

Great to see you Choochie! Congratulation's on your af time. Keep it going! Have you read the 'Toolbox' thread here? It's in the 'monthly abstinence' section, and full of very useful tip's and info. I strongly recommend it to you.

Go for it!

Good Morning Optimistic friends

Mr G - lovely to see you here as always, I'm very happy more music is being made and can't wait to hear it.

Rebirth - the spots could be to do with the stress you've had recently, make sure you are drinking plenty water. I just heard that apparently stress dehydrates our bodies and that dehydration causes stress so it can be a vicious circle. No wonder I felt so depressed when I was drinking!

Dill - how sad to have lost two brothers, my heart goes out to you. I Dont believe in coincidence and your experience of seeing what looked like your brother sounds like his way of saying hello I'm glad you felt him with you :l

Sped - I'm so sorry the way things have gone with your marriage and mediation sounds like a good idea. It always makes me sad when relationships go this way when they start out with so much love and hope for the future. I just want everyone to be happy.

Lav - im thinking of you to today, still no response from Mr L?

Papmom - I'm with you on the compound idea, sounds wonderful!

Wishing you all a great Friday, for me it's date night and I'm hoping not to be so nervous this time so he gets a chance to see the real me. In a way the last thing in the world I need right now would be a relationship with so much turmoil going on in my life but on the other hand it could be a welcome distraction.....

October Optimism - Week 2

Good morning, Chill. (Hope all of the rest of you are sound asleep!) I am still plugging away here, but had good success last night with the pics - have a slide show that I can show on computer at least, going to try now to see if I can burn a DVD version for the TV....

Choochie, welcome! I ditto Mr G. that the Toolbox is enormously helpful; also the holistic threads, if you are into that. Lots about basic physical health here which is such a help.

Sped - OMG, what timing. Maybe it's all for the best....I had to get to the point in my first marriage where I was quite certain that we would both be much happier apart, and maybe you/he are there too. I echo whoever said to take care of yourself financially while you are gone - this is no time for surprises. Have a great final run, and please be careful on your trip.

Dill, I remember now from last year that October is a painful month for you - I'm so sorry -- I think that your brother was definitely giving you love through that vision of him.

All right, must go on to my next tasks...everyone, have a wonderful Friday, and I will check in after the party. Also, please send me a little extra energy....I have felt so well for all these weeks, but throwing parties is a big 'threshold' for me....I think I've planned ahead well, but I'm sure a little energy thrown in by you guys will help as well....Thanks.
