JACKRABBIT!!

Sleep fairy left the premises around 4 AM so I finally gave up and got up. It'll be an early one for me tonight!

Good friend is having high blood sugar issue and is reluctantly navigating daily fine wine consumption. Measuring and such elicits deprivation feelings. WHAT??Quit altogether? Horrors! She frowns when I snigger over it. My life is so much simpler with abstinance.

Need some breakfast. Catch you later!

DG, you'll love today's meditation 94 in sheri's detatchment thread.

Morning Greenie and all to follow. HAPPY MARCH!! I'm so glad to be rid of February.

Today marks my 50th day AF! I'm down 8 pounds, my eyes and skin are clear, and I've never felt better.

Happy sober Tuesday Abbers!! Off to work early this morning.

Good morning Abbers! So, it's March and today it's rainy and cool out! Luckily it was beautiful here over the weekend.

Green, I completely agree. It's just easier and makes life so much less complicated to be abstinent!

Mstall great job on 50 days!!

Have a great day all.

Hey all,

MStall - many many congrats on the 50 days and the weight loss. I
now down four pounds but that has taken two months to get off. I really have to watch what I eat and count calories otherwise I can't do it!

Happy march all!

This says it all! Being AF makes you LOOK, FEEL better, and you have TONS more energy.

Congratulations MStall

Morning abbers! Happy March! I too am glad to see January and February 2011 done and over with.

Mstall - AWESOME WORK CHICKY!!!! Feels great doesn't it?

I let my daughter sleep in this morning. I was painting yesterday and the house was hard to get the fumes out - she had a hard time sleeping last night and had a headache. I felt like the worst mother on the planet. I checked in on her, she's awake but just kind of lollygagging and I was like - What the hell. She's tired. What good is she going to be at school anyway if she's exhausted. So I told her to stay in bed for an hour and just veg out.

I am meeting my sponsor later to do some step work but other than that the day is fairly free which is nice. No running around for once! It's nice to not feel preassured.

I hope everyone has a great AF day! I'll check back later to see how things are going.

Love and hugs,
Uni

Mstall, congrats on the 50 days, and Greenie thanks for starting us off this morning.

It really is amazing the amount of work that I put into my drinking career. If I could be that laser-focused in every other area of my life (meaning persevering through hangovers, self-loathing, etc.) I could be amazing! Saw this little gem this morning that reminded me that knowing what the right thing to do in the battle against alcohol is and actually doing it can be two entirely separate things:

"Winners do what they have to do and losers do what they want." - Unknown

Have a great Tuesday everyone!

P.S. Greenie - I think I had my aha! moment in the pool on Sunday!

Good Morning!

I love spring (except for the allergies!). Glad to see everyone doing so well and having such positive energy! I'm going to have to check out the detachment thread. I want to learn how to meditate!

Well time for work! Think maybe I need to take a cue from Mylife and go on holiday soon!

Have a fabulous day Abbers!

One things for sure. . .

Happy March Abbers!

Up way too early Greenie, huh? Well thanks for getting us started today. Stormy weather moving out of here today - yay!

Congrats to Mstall on 50 AF days & weight loss too - I'm jealous

Greetings mylife, Cassia & everyone! Hope today is fantastic for everyone.

I restrained myself yesterday but today I'm on the loose. I thought it would be a good idea to give my daughter & grandbaby a day to settle in at home yesterday without distraction. I will be stopping in this afternoon for a visit with an offer to help with anything that needs to be done

Wishing everyonew a fantastic AF Tuesday!

I was going to say JACKRABBIT but Greenie beat me to it!!!:H What a wealth of valuable information I have gained from this forum over the years!!!

Congrats on 50 days, Mstall!:goodjob:

Lav--I am amazed at your restraint. You are such a good mom though, I still remember when I had my #2 son, it was nice to have a little family time, and then my folks came and stayed a week which was wonderful! Enjoy that cuddle time. I'm so sorry about your nephew. Those kind of things happen way too often. My son was involved in a rollover accident earlier this year. So he has had a good dose of what it feels like and the damage it can do. Fortunately no one was seriously hurt either time. It is my biggest fear that something will happen to these kids in their vehicles. They drive too damn fast! And then there is the cell phone issue, and then add alcohol to the mix. I'm learning to turn all these worries over to God. I'll keep reminding him to slow down and when the roads are slick, but the rest is out of my control.

AA--thank you for that quote!!! I'm keeping a notebook full of quotes for my sons. My #1 son came to rely on them during the sports seasons. I love this one, and might have to make a poster for his room with it!!

I ran into a hitch with my bookwork yesterday. The opening balance in one of my clients checking accounts didn't match what she had in the computer--:durn::crap: So, I'll have to get the 2009 bank statements from her to see what we are missing. I would have gotten it done today if not for that issue! So, I better get busy.

Have a great sober day all!:h

Hello All,

Well done MStall!

Seems we're all full of spring energy this morning

I've done my grocery shopping and even pottered about the garden for a bit in the cold!

I might check out that meditation thread as well...I've tried before and alas never managed that elusive state of being.

I just did my third step with my sponsor! I feel so free! I am so happy right now, what a feeling - like a huge weight has been lifted. Wow.

Just had to share that.

Hey all just whizzing in - keeping on keeping on - told manager exactly how i feel and pointed out where things aren't working in the team in my opinion,and what i have been doing to try to get them to work and how i need her advice/support.

Now she feels stressed and i feel better!

anyway - getting a cold - lovely dinner with workmate and had a fish pedicure - garrufa fish - they nibble your dead skin off - banned in US tho apparently. Now in pjs nibbling small piece of chocolate with decaf coffee.

Back on calorie counting approach tomorrow 1600 on inactive day and 1800 on skate day - pretty good (was surprised how many i could have saw healthy eating person at work).

Anyway good night all - need to catch up on yesterday as well - hope you're all well.
