    daily af Monday 6 December

    Hey all - off to spa in a bit can't wait. I plan to take 'Tao of sobriety' and a comedy book with me and plan HEALTHY meals for the week.

    Looking back at pics of me on fbook over the year - I sooo need to lose weight.
    Takeaway pizza and cake last night after skating has to stop.
    Exercise part of equation is taken care of for now - it's the number of calories in and out. Moving my holiday to January gives me longer to shape up for the beach.

    Happy to be af today - I have our team Christmas party this Friday - I will go but will drive as that way I have no choice. There is talk of staying over so we can have a drink - I will make excuse of having to be up next day (true!). I can't get there if I don't drive and no way will I drink if I am driving.

    Person I have problems with due to melodrama/back stabbing is back - and wangled her way into our car share. I feel let down by a friend in team who last weekend shared my views of her, but now seems to be the one who has encouraged her to come back/get in on the car share!Trying to not resist what is - the problem is I know this person complained about me behind my back and I haven't had chance to confront her about this so I feel angry. Complained I was inflexible re lifts (I was not asking for petrol money as she had money issues/collecting her from work or home - hmm) the one thing I wouldn't do was be late for MY practice if she finished work late.
    I feel like I need to say something or it will just eat away at me.

      Good morning,

      What a wicked night we had here with massive wind storms; upturned trees in my backyard by my pond and thankfully we just got the power back on. Although it is fun playing Ponyville by candelight.

      Bear, I would say something or it would eat at me as well. The best thing I found these days is not to tell people anything really personal. It always seemed to come back and bite me in the ass. Good luck, but let this person know that you know what't going on and the way you feel about it.

      Good morning Raven!

      Have a fantastic day everyone! One thing is for sure! Now..to get my coffee maker going now that we have power again.

        Hi guys!

        Sorry I haven't been around, I was away visiting with my sister and niece. It was much needed however I had a massive panic attack when I got home. It was one of the worse ones I have had in a while but I managed to get through it and out the other side. Today is therapy day for me so I will talk to my psychologist about my challenges and we will come up with some more ideas. As well I have group therapy tonight so I'm happy about that.

        I have passed the 3 month nicotine free mark and am almost at 5 months AF. It's funny, it just feels like a way of life now. But it still takes work and I'm still going to meetings and doing my daily meditations. Some days are hard but so worth it in the long run.

        I hope everyone has a great Monday!

        Love and hugs,
        Uni
        Every day is a day to start over and remember that I am powerless over my addiction. I will no longer give the BEAST any power over me - he can go straight to hell.

          Good Morning All!
          I've already reintroduced myself to a couple people on the AA Thread and the AA Big Book Thread, but haven't popped in here yet. I joined this sight a few years ago and have randomly popped back in. Well, here I am! Only Day 6 on my sobriety, but going strong. All of you and your posts keep me encouraged. There has been one big change on the site this time around. I've recognized people that used to slip up and now I see that they are still sober. This is GREAT!
          I had no temptations throughout the weekend, though yesterday I was a little stressed and that usually ends up with a bottle of wine. Instead, I went to church with my 3 children in the morning, took them to breakfast afterwards, went to the mall to see Santa (TWO HOUR WAIT!!!), ate at the food court, then browsed around. I came home only to find my husband hammered and it only made me that much more thankful that I wasn't drinking. Had I not given up AL, I would have been sittin' there right next to my husband and my three lil darlings would have never seen Santa yesterday.
          Here in the Northwest it is still freezing with lots of snow. It gives it quite the Christmas feeling.
          Hope everyone has a wonderful day!!!

            Fabbies!!!

            Back from an awesome weekend! Talk about an onion peeling... phew!!!

            I read up on everyone and :l to you needing one and know you have my support and admiration for dealing with your challenges sober. Being fully present is the only way to really honor yourself and your fellow travelers who offer the opportunities to heal.

            By the way, we played a board game and the issue card I drew was about being affected by alcoholism/drugs. The cards drawn by individual players are uncannily UN-coincidental.

            Hi Go, and welcome here and welcome back! I remember the avatar, but need reminding of your former screen name if you are OK with that.

            Feels like I was gone a week. Maybe because it came right after Thanksgiving. I'm feeling nervously behind in things so I must zoom along...

            Before I go... peacenick? Are you alright?

              Good morning Abbers!

              Sunny but very cold here today, seasonal I suppose!

              bear, thanks for getting us started today! I'm sorry you are having troubles with the people in your life. I have to admit, sometimes females don't make the best friends - too much talking!! Hope you can smoothe your way out.

              Gia, glad your pwer is back - I can't cope with my morning coffee!!!! Sounds like you had quite a storm this weekend!

              Uni, good to see you! Panic attacks are nasty, I've had them myself but they stopped as suddenly as they started! I hope to never have another one, that's for sure.

              Greetings GoAway! Glad you are here with us

              I have lots to do today so I'd better get moving.
              Wishing everyone a wonderful AF Monday!

                  Just a quick fly-by this morning but a happy Monday morning to everyone! Was going to complain about the zero windchill until I saw BB's post.... Can't believe that Christmas is only 19 days away!

                    19 days wow, and I still have so much to do, I think I will make a time line and a Christmas shopping list so I make sure and get everyone! Is giving wine to grown ups that drink hypocritical of me? They would enjoy it and I sure don't want it!

                        Hi Everyone - just a quick stop by. Hope you all are well. I'm doing super and loving my AF days. Lovely weather here - just cooking and gettng out in the fresh air, hitting a few golf balls, and enjoying my sober life.

                        Go, welcome - saw you on some other threads. Glad you're with us!

                        Uni, hope you get your anxiety attacks controlled - that must be scary.

                        Is giving wine to grown ups that drink hypocritical of me? They would enjoy it and I sure don't want it!
                        Jen, I don't think it's hypocritical. People who want to drink are going to....are you talking about as a gift for Christmas, or just serving it to them??

                        Hugs to you all.

                          Hi All,

                          Just checking in. Day 6 here and all is well. Have occasional panic thoughts from The Beast, but that's to be expected....

                          It's snowing like hell here and is suppose to continue until Tues night. We already have over a foot since last night.....good old "lake effect" snow.

                          Well, off to the gym.....have a good day everyone!

                              Peace...I honestly don't know where to start commenting on your new Avatar..lol.

                              GoCabarnet, I remember your avatar as well from before. Are you okay with sharing your old screen name. If not, no worries. Good for you on staying sober and being able to take the kids to see Santa. Mine is wired this year!

                              Feeling antsy today so we drove to the city and walked around Christmas Land, Little Gia got to play with the train sets, picked up a new plant for the house then went to McDonalds where she got so excited she ate to fast then I ran her to the bathroom to help her bring it back up. My poor girl. In the bath she will go soon and get her all snuggly for the evening.
