Morning everyone! Gosh - you guys have lots of fun things planned for the weekend - guess I better get hopping!

One thing is for sure, it will be a sober one no matter what the weekend brings.

One2many - have a great time!

Mstall - hot yoga sounds fund - never tried regular yoga. Looking for some kind of exercise routine besides just walking.

Have a great Friday everyone!

Happy Friday! Mstall, thanks for kicking things off today. Oney - a MEETUP??? That sounds like LOADS of fun.

Today has ended up packed with more than I like to have scheduled in a day. But that's just how it goes sometimes. I would have been in a frenzy in the bad old days. (and would have ended up drinking the day away and doing NOTHING and disappointing people, etc.) As it is, I am learning to just tackle the day one thing at a time. I will get through it and another sober day will pass.

One FUN thing going on today is a movie watch! After tough chicks AA meeting later this morning, a bunch of us are going to one of the touch chicks house to have some snacks and watch The Days of Wine and Roses. That should be fun!

Hi Jolie - it's so good to have you with us! Hi to all fabbies yet to come.

Good Morning Abbers!

Thanks for the start Mstall!

Oney I so would love to go! I've always wanted to go to Ireland, I'm a "Mc" so my family came from there. I would worry that I would be shy and not know what to say if I really got a chance to go but I'm sure with all of you guys personalities y'all could show me how to have a blast at a bar without one drop of AL. That experience in it self would be worth it! Have a great time and Happy B-day!

Good Morning Jolie, no plans for the weekend? Must be nice! I have to clean and shop. It will be a big grocery shop this week with Sam's and all. And the boy child's b-day is next month so I have to get hopping on his pressies. The girl child is have a friend spend the night tomorrow, first time in a long time cause she can't stay out of trouble, much like her mother (LOL my mother just looks on and laughs, I'm getting my just deserts!) so I can't be to mad at her!

Have a great day everyone!

One things for sure. . .

I will leave you with this guys, Have a wonderful day xx


Just for today. . .by Sybil F. Partridge.


Just for today, I will try to live through this day only, and not tackle
my whole life problem at once. I can do something for twelve hours
that would appall me if I felt I had to keep it up for a lifetime.

Just for today, I will be happy. This assumes to be true what
Abraham Lincoln said, that "most folks are as happy as
they make up their minds to be."

Just for today, I will try to strengthen my mind. I will study.
I will learn something useful. I will not be a mental loafer.
I will read something that requires effort, thought and concentration.

Just for today, I will adjust myself to what is, and not try
to adjust everything to my own desires. I will take my "luck"
as it comes, and fit myself to it.

Just for today, I will exercise my soul in three ways: I will do
somebody a good turn, and not get found out. I will do at least
two things I don't want to do--just for exercise. I will not show
anyone that my feelings are hurt; they may be hurt,
but today I will not show it.

Just for today, I will be agreeable. I will look as well as I can,
dress becomingly, talk low, act courteously, criticize not one bit,
not find fault with anything and not try to improve
or regulate anybody except myself.

Just for today, I will have a program. I may not follow
it exactly, but I will have it. I will save myself from
two pests: hurry and indecision.

Just for today, I will have a quiet half hour all by myself,
and relax. During this half hour, sometime, I will try
to get a better perspective of my life.

Just for today, I will be unafraid. Especially I will not
be afraid to enjoy what is beautiful, and to believe
that as I give to the world, so the world will give to me.

Does anyone know if storks fly in the rain & high winds?
Sure hope my daughter gets something going soon!!!

Oney - enjoy your weekend meetup. Sounds like great fun
The first thing I remember seeing while landing in Dublin was cows :H I looked out the window as the plane was just about ready to touch down & saw cows :H

Greetings to evereyone, hope your day is fabulous!

Morning everyone!

Oney - thanks for that quote - it's awesome! I needed it today, have fun at the meetup!
Jenny - good luck with the daughters sleepover! I always find those so exhausting for the mother! LOL
Mstall - hot yoga sounds like it would knock you out! Don't worry, I'm getting enough snow here for both of us! Gotta love Canada.
DG - have fun at tough chicks! Love that name - enjoy the movie.
Hi Jolie and AA!

I had a crappy day yesterday. I was just filled with anger and general pissiness. I got a lot of it out at my therapy appointment which was good but it just was a blah day. However I went to my home group AA meeting last night and felt much better after that.

Snowy here but I feel good. Going to meet my sponser for a coffee later which will be nice. We have only been together for 3 weeks so it will be good to get to know her better outside of AA.

Have a great AF day everyone - one thing is for sure here.

Stork stork stork!!!

Love you all!

Hallooo!

Mstall thanks for the start. Everyone seems cheerful today. I do so want to try hot yoga!

Oney thanks for the inspiration. I just read that Patridge wrote these words in 1916, and Dale Carnegie used them in one of his books, How to Stop Worrying and Start LIving. Apparently it was made into a song as well. I've searched for information on her and all I can find is that she died aroun 1920 and was a nun in Liverpool. Thanks again, Oney!

Hi Jolie, Jenny, AA, DG and Lav and Uni. Greenie you lurking out there?

Off to gym.

LOL gaia! I'm WORKING, not lurking :H really!

The Rock & Roll photography exhibit & party last night was AWESOME!!! Good crowd (some in clothes from 60s, 70s) with a high energy vibe that I just need a dose of every now and then. The photos were great with cool intimate stories to go with. I can't wait to go back and do the cell phone listen along thing.

It was raining earlier, but I see blue sky so I'm going to grab the dog & make a run for the river. This work project can wait a bit.

Good to see everyone!

AF Friday!! February 25th

Hello friends,

Wow, you guys are up and at it early again today! We got a little snow last night, but not the big storm they were talking about. That is ok with me! It is hard for me to get anything done when the kids are not in school! It is really cold though, I hope our cows decide to keep holding out for warmer temps before they start having their babies. (Maybe that is what your grand baby is thinking too-Lav!)

I don't have a super busy schedule today, but I do have a ton of bookwork to do for one of my clients. She is getting anxious, so I really need to buckle down and spend several hours this weekend on it. I do have a meeting at noon, but I think that is all.

Oney-- who all is going to meet up? I can't wait to hear the details. I would LOVE to go to Ireland!

I miss socializing with some of my friends. I think I might plan some kind of get together early spring.

It's Friday, and I know some still struggle with the drinking thoughts on this day. I know I used to. Even though I drank almost every evening, Friday was my favorite. I guess because it was more ok to drink on Friday night so I didn't have to feel guilty. Or maybe its because I could nurse my hangover more easily on a Saturday. Or maybe it was just habit. We used to go out after work almost every Friday. Then we used to drink at home every Friday night. When I quit I had to keep myself busy in the evenings, especially Fridays. Now my Fridays are usually filled with my son's sports activities, and honestly it's just another night of the week. So, if you struggle with Fridays, hang in there!!!:l

Have a great sober weekend!:h
