Have a healthy w-end

[Paddy]

Dear Abbers,

Hope all of you are doing fine - or in Kanga's words:'I just wanna say G'day!' I'm into my 9th AF day, and it feels better every day. Just need to survive another w-end, but thanks to Campral, the cravings aren't too bad.

Anyways, have a healthy weekend.

Paddy

Isn't it Great?

Isn't it great to see positive results so quickly?? I'm really happy for all of you that you are already enjoying the results of not drinking.

Of course, it doesn't mean that there will NEVER be a temptation or difficult times, but it sure is gratifying to enjoy the benefits. Getting some sober time under your belt is a great way to fight off cravings later, or pick yourself up quickly if you should happen to stumble!

All the best, Paddy and Animal!

Hey Animal, I love Nice. Had some loup there once that was completely out of this world. One minute it was on a cart, staring at me, and 25 minutes later, I was eating it. Major yum!

Happy Friday!

Hugs,

Okay Kathy, can't let this one pass by! What on earth is "loup"? At first I thought you'd meant to type "soup", but even in my warped reality I can't see how soup would be capable of staring at you!!! C'mon, put me out of my misery, Kath!!

:H Tartan! Loup is actually a kind of a fish, and typical of the French, the "p" is silent, so the word actually sounds like "loo"!:H (Or at least it was silent enough that I, with my college French, couldn't make it out.) It was really delicious, though (as are so many of the Mediterranian fish), and I thought I had died and gone to heaven. It was actually filleted and grilled, but in the restaurants in the south, they will bring a cart to your table with the fresh whole fish on it, and you get to choose your own for dinner. Still makes me drool to think about it! Yum.

Thanks for asking me. I was being insensitive by not giving more of an explanation. ops:

Hugs,
Kathy :l

thanks for asking tartan.....I thought the same thing...soup? Thanks for explaining Kathy!
Good Job Paddy and Animal-
The first time I made it to 10 days I think I asked for confetti and a parade....I think a parade is in order for that milestone! You are doing great -

I think I celebrated my 30 days a few days early - bought myself a pair of earings at the after thanksgiving sales. Apparently I like myself quite a bit because they are very nice earrings. oh, and as long as I'm confessing - bought a ring too. sigh... Well, I was actually done with Christmas shopping before I went yesterday so it was all for me me me I guess. I'm now cutting myself off. I'm done. No more shopping- online or otherwise.

Although - Mike, I justified part of the earrings by saying it was my 'wine money'. Now at 28 days that should be about - hmmm, including what I would have done for holiday drinking....oh, I'd say about ...oh good greif....is it really that much?? 560.00?? 20.00 a day is probably about right - maybe even underestimating.
Wow, maybe I need a necklace too:H

Have a great day everyone!!!!! Where is everybody else this weekend?

That was a negative post sorry

Hi Phil - you don't have to be bouncy all the time ... - negative is just how it is sometimes.

I agree that this is really a difficult time of year. Just don't give up. That's all, just don't give up.
I started in July trying to work on this. I'm on day 28 af - but it has taken me several tries. I managed a week and then two weeks, and then a week and then three weeks...sort of like that.
This will be extra hard until 12/31....however, even if you drink, don't tell yourself all bets are off and you can do what you want until 12/31...ok? I know how that works too. hmmm... that's starting to sound like a lecture and I'm in no position to do that !

Hope you have a good night -
Lisa
