Good morning Abbers!

DG, I really feel for you with the flooded basement ~ have been thru that more times than I care to remember in previous homes :upset:
Hope you catch a break today!!!

Hi papmom! Probably cooler where you are - enjoy! Hot & humid in the forecast for Lav-land again today.

Greenie - sorry about your crappy day yesterday
Had one the other day myself - nothing went right all day. It started with waking up abruptly at 3:30 am - sucks!

Wishing a better day for Greenie & for each & every one of us

Hope it is okay if I post here. Today is day 2 AF for me. Yesterday was hell and today will be difficult as well but even one day AF, I feel better. DG, you had a quote posted at one time that I really liked about quitting drinking being hard but the lying, feeling bad, etc. associated with drinking was hard too, so choose your hard. I can honestly say, that my drinking has escalated to the point that it is getting harder and harder for me to cover it. Yesterday I read a thread started by Sheri about giving sobriety a chance. It really hit home because I do want qutting drinking to be easy and it isn't but that thread gave me some hope that each day I stay sober will make me stronger. I truly believe I'm ready to give sobriety a chance.

Where are all the Abbers today??

Good to see you again cuckoo & glad you are posting here with some serious non-drinkers
Congrats on your 2 days AF, stay close & keep going!
It does take a while to learn how to be a non-drinking, happy, adjusted person. Every day we don't drink brings us closer to being that person

Looking for my mojo.........
I think the weather killed it

Hi again fabbies! The water stopped coming in sometime yesterday and now we are just drying out. Just another day at the office. Mr. Doggy's office. :H (that will teach him to keep procrastinating a solution!!!)

Cuckoo, I am so happy to see you posting here on tihs thread. I'm glad you are going to give sobriety a chance. (I love that posting from Sheri too!!) Drinking definitely got harder and harder for me. Especially the cover up part of it. At work in particular. Reading your post brought back the vivid memory of my boss flying into Chicago from NY with the HR lady in tow to meet with me about their suspicions of my drinking on the job. And I STILL was not able to stop. I finally had to quit my job before suffering a termination. (and I STILL was not at my bottom even after that, so it just gets worse and worse until we have finally had enough!)

If you do not get it right the first time, you will not be the first. KEEP COMING BACK. Please do not give up and please do not go hide. OK - lecture over! (I can hear the collective sigh of relief from here!)

I ran 25 minutes today. Marshy's voice on the podcast said "I am so proud of you! You are officially a runner now!" I love that brittish marshy voice!

One thing is for sure....I cannot IMAGINE running for 25 minutes straight with a hangover. NO WAY. That would be WAY harder than AFness is.

DG IS A BAD ASS SEXY RUNNER!!! That is all.

Did anyone hear me call in challenges from the universe? I must have done it in my sleep. Snort, grrrrr.... The SAME challenging people presenting the SAME challenging issues keep showing up for me! WTF am I not learning!?! Oh! Hummmm could it be patience or tolerance or yet again boundaries? FFS.

Cuckoo, delighted to see you here! I do hope you hang around with us. I AM a don-drinking, happy, adjusted person like lav describes. Most of the time. I'm just having some growing pains at the moment.

What has happened to scottish lass and threedognight? And crocus?

I want a british marshy voice to cheer me onward! But I don't want to have to run for it.

Lav if you find my mojo hanging out with yours, send it on home, would ya please?

British voice cheering everyone on: tally ho!

Welcome Cuckoosnest! I would have loved quitting drinking to be easy too! But it's not, is it? Hard but so worth it

Zooming! Have a good day/weekend everyone.

Marshy!!! Make the link work!!! Great to see you! Yes - HARD BUT WORTH IT!!!!

Greenie, you could turn on the podcast, sit on your ass oops I mean arse, and Marshy would STILL tell you how proud she is of you, and that your are officially a runner now. Really. (and no, I did not sit on my arse!)

Whooo, I made it home!

Lots of traffic and alot of the demon talking to me but here I am. I find Friday compounded with family issues is a badddddd thing. I plan on staying in my little city tonight where there is no store to sell me my poison of choice. It has worked before so tonight I say. . . .I will not drink! I'm alone right now. The kids and hubby are with the SIL and MIL at the movies (Pirates which I wanted to see but was not invited as I am not considered an asset to the family by said SIL and MIL but their loss right!). Grrrr

Negativity be gone! I'm here rocking the sober life! day 13!

[greeneyes]

AF Daily - Friday May 27

ABSOLUTELY their loss, jen!!! I'd pick you in the top 3 to go to the movies with ANY day!! :l

Hi newgrange! Thanks for stopping by!

I'm making soup. I find it a necessity to have containers of homemade soup in my freezer. And so it shall be. tally ho!
