AF Daily Tuesday March 29
Hey all
Just read back the thread...
Lav - thanks for getting us started! I hope it is warmer down your way then it is up here.
Uni - it sounds like you had a lovely day with your daughter and you are sounding very positive. Glad to hear it.
LVT - As a child of a very strict father, I think that negotiation is important and being a friend as well as a parent. With my dad, there was no negotiation and that led to me rebelling a bit - nothing major, just talking back and smoking. Actually, he had it pretty damn easy with me considering what he could have had. As long as boundaries are reasonable then I think you are being fair. I hope it all works out for you!
P3 - sorry to hear you are unwell - hope you feel better soon and get the dentist situation sorted.
Jane - I know what you mean about the wedding. When I was 3 days AF I had to go to my friend's wedding. I made a pretty sharp exit plan with my husband. One thing to remember is that no one really cares if you don't drink as much as you care. It will be tempting but if you put a strong plan in place you will get there. When I am tempted I just think - do I really want to go back to day one? No way - I am closing in on triple digit days.
Greenie - hey and thanks for all your advance - you're a wee star.
AK - Welcome - good to see you. Please tell us more about you.
Bear73 - hey! good to see ya
Det - I hope you had a good work out.
DG - Can a woman ever really have enough clothes, shoes or bags?
So, tomorrow is my last full day in NYC. It has been an amazing trip and I am feeling very positive about the future. I have been making lists and starting to put things in place for moving back. I emailed a few people about various accommodation arrangements and got feedback from my various meetings. All in all, I know it is still a HUGE risk but I have done as much as I can to make it as calculated as possible. My friend's parents also offered me a place to stay when I move back so that is always good as has my sister and my friends. Everyone is so hugely supported. I can't thank them enough.
Also, I can't thank you all enough for your support and advice. I know I have been doing some fly by postings but it has been a busy time. I will be better once I get back to Glasgow.
Love peace and strength to you all.
