AF Daily - Saturday Feb 12th
Hi fabbies! AA, thanks for starting us off today with such a good quote. Very true for me too. Breaking the seemingly impossible down into bite size pieces is good advice. Reminds me of that age old joke: How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time! Getting sober was certainly like eating an elephant. Maybe a couple of elephants. But here we are!!!!!
:welcome: Jolie!!! Congratulations on 41 days sober!! That is outstanding. You mention going out with friends who drink very little. It's been amazing to me the observations since sobering up. I used to think everyone drank like me. It's been quite shocking to realize that there are many many many truly normal drinkers out there who have one. Maybe two. They will do insane things like drink 1/2 a glass of wine, and leave the other half just sitting there. Like they forget about it or something. I NEVER forgot about a single drop of wine left in a glass unless I passed out first. No - I definitely never drank like those people!!!! Have fun tonight.
BB - hope you get to go to the dance! You and Cassia should have a bake sale with all those cup cakes! Cassia, you definitely get a zoom zoom award for today. Oh. And YB is Lav's estranged husband. YB - Yard Boy, or other things that start with Y and end with B depending on the day.
Speaking of...Lav, how fabulous that YB is coming over to do chores. I know you would rather him be a real husband, but at least he's doing chores. I hope YOU have a relaxing and fabulous day. You deserve it!!
I want a blue egg omlette.
Uni - holy moly you are taking this decluttering thing to a whole new level! I was reading an article on the weight watchers site just the other day that decluttering our space really does help declutter our minds. This article was more about decluttering the pantry in the kitchen, but I think the general idea is the same! :H You sound great and that is so good.
P3 :l I so understand how horrible the grip of the sugar monster is. The Diet Cure by Julia Ross really helped me make the connection between alcohol, sugar and me. It grabbed me last summer and it was hard to get free. The supplements really helped. If nothing else, keep taking All One and LOTS of L-Glut. I also take some other extras like GABA and L-Tryptophan and some other stuff - as outlined in that book. It's still hard work. I'm determined not to let sugar cross my lips again if I can help it. I thought the dock diving was today! Have fun doing that tomorrow! Wish I could go with you!!
Hi Greenie! Oyster party sounds like fun. You know what they say about oysters. I hope and orgy doesn't break out. Or if it does, I hope someone really fabulous is there with you.
I think I'm going to go to a speaker meeting and valentine's party / dance tonight at the Alano club. I don't usually go to the social stuff but I'm feeling like a teenager today wanting to maybe dance with my girlfriends like junior high. I did a bunch of Mary Kay fun running around this morning and also worked out. I really need to clean up my office a bit, then head for the shower. I LOVE BEING SOBER!!!! This day would be a waste if I was still drinking. If I were still alive that is. Oy. What a dark place. Don't want to go there again. SO..... ONE THING IS FOR SURE!!!!
