Morning,

It's too cold here today, we're not leaving the house if we don't have too. I have a sick little girl here so I'll be keeping her as warm as possible.

No drinkey for me today...

Abberroooooos!!!

Whacha doin' pride, editing? :H

First off, confession to not having read through the past week, but got a glimpse to say
AFM - hope you land in a place of peace soon enough. :l
LVT - hoping all went as well as possible with Terry yesterday and you feel positive about your son's eval.
Chief - how wonderful for you to be able to offer fully present, sober support at this time.
and...


CONGRATULATIONS ON 30 AF DAYS, CHIEF!!

Must zoom off to retrieve my wallet that was found in a dumpster when the police were interrogating a guy behind it "doing business of an unrelated nature, if you know what I mean". (I replied "No, I don't know and I'm OK with leaving it like that." :H) Then to the dentist to reattach my front crowns that disengaged yesterday. :egad: I happened to be standing at the bathroom mirror - feeling awfully glad to have escaped the drain opening danger. Just got back last night, so lots of catch-up to do. I didn't get the job I interviewed for, but that means I'm going to the outer banks in a couple weeks. Also means it simply wasn't the job I'm meant to have...so that's OK.

Later, and....One thing's for sure!

I'm back - day 1 here - 1 day at a time. I feel fat bloated and lethargic and like I need another week off.

Need to do lots of thinking - plan to stay in tomorrow/maybe pop and see some friends briefly. 2011 will be my year I sort things out - fitness wise - alcohol and smoking wise.
Most importantly not worrying about what others think,doing what I think is the right thing no more giving my power away and more being true to myself.

45 degrees today and 55 degrees tomorrow - it's about damn time even if it is only two days! But, I'll make sure I feel bad for those who aren't getting a break from winter's icy grip..... No, seriously, I will....

Congrats to Chief on 30 days. and BB sorry to hear that the little one is not feeling well. Bear, only one way to go from here, and that is up. You're right about you being in charge, and it all starts with that honest assessment of ourselves. Best of luck to you, and let us know if we can help!

Greenie, what were you doing in the dumpster that caused you to lose your wallet??

AF Daily - Thursday December 30

3 weeks now AF - so getting close to that landmark month! Kinda excited...as long as I get through NYE tomorrow I should be Golden.

Bear - I'm with you on the fitness 2011 - I need to add 'quit smoking' to my list of quitting things as well now. Luckily, I tended to smoke more when I was drinking so am hoping -AL I can pack in for good too!

Got some new running shoes for Christmas so watch out pavement!



All the best to you all!

Greenie, good luck on the job hunting. It's really hard these days finding something you want to do and will pay you what you need to live comfortably. And sucks rock about the teeth!

Bear, time to get serious about getting some more AF days under your belt. It's really horrible feeling shitty like that on a daily basis. What do you think are the reasons why you are drinking to excess?

AA, I can just hear the tone in your voice on how sorry you are about the cold we're getting. Karma buddy, LOL. I hope my little beauty feels better soon too. Right now I'm hoping I don't run out of freezies and popsicles, her throat is really sore and this is the best way to get liquids down her.

Good morning Abbers!

Welcome back to queenie greenie
Sorry about the crowns......mine pop off occasionally too.!
I'm always grateful to have not swallowed them.

Don, congrats on 30 AF days - terrific!

Bear, I truly hope that 2011 is the year for your success!

Greetings Pride, BB & AA.
Not sure what I doing today but I do have my grandson & his parents coming for dinner tonight. I really need a little EB time

Wishing everyone a terrific AF Thursday.

Hi BB,

Thanks!

Sorry to hear you girls are suffering - I've avoided the lurgy...so far! Popsicles are good at ANY TIME though!

You are so right there! I think I'm going to invest in stock because the amount of popsicles, freezies and ice cream we consume per year is amazing!

[EnglishWriter77]

AF Daily - Thursday December 30

Good idea! Can I get in on that investment?

My new 'thing' is Ginger Beer, and also keeping going with the Ben & Jerry's Frozen Yoghurt Phish Food.

Sooooooooo good!

I've replaced my AL intake with Perrier or Pelegrino and fresh squeezed lemon and limes, for some reason I need something cold on hand at all times? But for snacking I really enjoy smoked salmon, fresh parm and cucumber..or steak, cold or hot but I love it.

Morning fabbies! I'm still fighting off a cold and now my bad hip feels like someone is stabbing it with a knife. I think that is the universe's way of telling me that exercise really IS good for me, and taking a week off need not be in my plan. (Curves is not so strenuous that weeks off are required!)


:yougo:CONGRATULATIONS CHIEF ON 30 DAYS AF!!:yougo:
:welcome:CONGATULATIONS EW on 3 WEEKS AF!:welcome:


Lav, I will admit I was over the collapsing bed. Are you SURE you are not keeping a secret about Johnny Depp we should know about????? Hope your day today is better! Planning the baby shower sounds like fun.

Bear, I have no idea if this is an issue for you. Something that was an issue for me, and prevented my from getting sober, was TRULY ACCEPTING that I am an alcoholic. In that regard, I am absolutely no different than people who are living under a bridge and peeing on themselves. My alcoholism is just the same as theirs is. I'm just living in a cushier place, that's all. As long as I entertained thoughts that I was "not that bad" then I kept trying to "drink in a controlled fashion." (hahahahaha) I'm an alkie I'm an alkie I'm an alkie. Let the healing begin. Welcome back, and never give up.

AA, I am not excited about this heat wave at all. I hope all the snow doesn't melt, leaving us with dull gray muck. BRING BACK THE SNOW!!!!!

BB, I hope Little Gia starts feeling better soon! I love Pelegrino (sp). Anyone who thinks all carbonated water is the same has never tried that one.

Pride, thanks for getting us started today! Hope you are having a fabulous day.

Greenie - great to have you back! I missed you! I too am wondering what you were doing in the dumpster. Something that made your teeth loose? Oh the possibilities. :egad:

I know I am over my smilie limit. Is P3 working from home in her jammies with her doggies again today?

Day 5 of low carb / sugar / grain detox. Life is good. One thing is for sure...

Whacha doin' pride, editing? >>

How did you guess, Queen Green who has lost her crown(s) (ouch)? :H Occupational hazard. And not even on this thread, although I was planning to. I'm like a crow, off to the next shiny object. (Which will NOT be iPad Scrabble today. No it will NOT.).

Now to be extra, extra lazy, {{{{Bear}}}} good to see you! Here's the link to the thread I posted on earlier; seems to fit well with what you're wrangling with:
https://www.mywayout.org/community/f1...day-47067.html

Welcome, EW, and CONGRATS on your ever-lengthening string of sober days. That first month was big for me (Heck, double digits was big for me).

AA and BB, I think AF Daily needs a CC. See who you can scare up. :b&d: Then we'll move on to DD.

Uni, partner in sober-crime! Hope you're feeling more functional today. So proud of you for not drinking through this extended funk. OWN THAT SUCCESS! Try and get some natural light, too--it can have a miraculous effect, even if getting outside is the last think you feel like doing. I've walked laps around my house when anything else seemed like too much. Looked crazy to my neighbors? Yes. Felt better afterwards? Yes.

Lav, nothing like a kid fix when I'm feeling a bit down. Enjoy! Envy you a little; they're all too big to cuddle in this house.

Cold here too BB, but at least everyone seems to be on the mend, cold-wise. Hope little Gia feels better.

P3, the forecast says rain and then freeze, so get your ice skates out! And a sled for the DDs.

Chief....


:cheering:CONGRATULATIONS ON 30 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!:cheering:

This crowd needed something to celebrate! So amazed you pulled this off over the holidays!

Probably a half-dozen cross-posts, so a big hello to all who have yet to pop by. Especially good vibes to you, AFM and LVT. :l

xoxo Pride
