    Good Morning Absville,

    So glad it is ALL OVER. For me anyway. Today begins another extented period of abs, either 30 or 60 days. Not sure but likely to be 60 days. Usually it feels so good, I just don't stop. Not feeling too bad today, considering that I stayed up WAY too late.

    As most of my friends know, I have horrible sleep issues. Well, after nice long talk on phone thought I could sleep and went to bed and then .... like Frankenstein I was up again. Til, uh 3 am. ARRRRGGGGH. Guess I have LOTS of work to do today around house and for work on Wednesday. First, I am going to go back to bed for little bit though as coffee brews.

    Coffee brew, take topa ... yes, it is good. Oddly, no need for advil. I guess that is good?

    Hope all my little buddies are feeling just as well today regarding the blood vessels in they little heads. I am sure we willl hear all about it quite soon.

    Hugs and kisses (in whispers),
    Pans

    Good Morning Absville too,

    Coffee was good--think I'll go and have another cup. Great to have experienced my first sober New Year's Eve and New Year's Day that I can remember.

      Feeling good and strong here. And proud. Bring on the new year.

      My hope for us all is to believe consistently in our ability to change for the better. With belief, comes reality.

        Ducky,

        My Amazon order has shipped. They are very fast. You are up early my little ducky friend. I am going back to bed for little while and cuddle with Otto Black (no durty minds - he is a cat and he is fixed). Wonders - was out of Splenda ... and found little 15 dollar box of Stevia from Whole Foods. Ahhhhh. Yum.

        Hugs and Kisses to all,
        Pansy

        The sky is blue right now

            New Start

            Dear Kitkat,

            Please take this as friendly advice from person who cares. Tomorrow, as soon as get to work - sign up for the assistance program if you are ready. If you cannot white knuckle it, or cannot afford to order meds off shore, then something needs to change. Want to see things change for you. You get new new start today, hon.

            Sign up for drink tracker, under tools and MAKE IT PUBLIC. Count your glasses as real glasses of wine (that is slurpy cup = 4 glasses of wine, not one).:H Drinktracker makes you accountable and is nice smack in face if you are not being nice to yourself. Also, those yellows sure do look purty.

            Glad you are feeling better. Big hugs Kitkat.

            Please absers!!! Does anyone else have suggestions for kitkat??? I do not know about insurance or ramifications. Kitkat, can mom help with ordering offshore? You should have insurance anyway, just in case. Let's put our minds together!! Would anyone in mods know??

            Okay, back to bed.

            Peace and hugs,
            Pansy

              Happy 2007!

              So, now it is 2007 for ALL of us. I'm rather glad all the fuss is over. Now it is time to get back to life. I'm with you, Pansy; I was so wound up last night (although goodness knows why) that I didn't get to bed until after 2am. It would have been nice to get a little more sleep, but I'm here with my cappucino, continuing to wake up.

              Now, it's time to get motivated to get something done today!:H Time to get moving!

                It's not that some people have willpower and some don't. It's that some people are ready to change and others are not.

                      Want to join in

                      Decided to accept (again) that moderation is just not an option for me.

                      Have tried everything possible to moderate my drinking but always seem to end up on the same horrible road to oblivion.

                      I am AF 5 days today and really really want to keep it going.
                      Will start using drink tracker today.
                      Looking forward to using this abs board and getting to know everyone here.

                      Happy New Year to you all
                      Wishing you all lots of strength and health for 2007.

                          Afternoon all! I think I'm glad it's over too. Looking forward to diving into my resolutions now. Back on a good diet and I hope to have a date for valentine's day this year (actually, I'm more terrified that I might have a date this year!!!) Can't believe I am going to be (blind) dating this year and doing it all AF! Don't have any idea what that will be like.
                          2007 is gonna be so good! I can just feel it!
                          I spent my nye at midnight mass and met a group of very interesting people. The priest is a friend of my neighbors and he was so nice. His mom and dad were there too - their names were Mary and Joseph hmm-
                          they had 11 kids and two turned out to be priests. Anyway, it was a very plesant way to spend the evening.
                          Glad I didn't have to worry about hangover cures this morning.

                          weemelon- a special CONGRATS on your 26 days! :goodjob:
                          changling- 5 is great and will be 25 before you know it!

                          oh, back to work now...accounting end of year stuff to do!

                          Happy 2007!

                            hello hellooooo hellllooo!!!

                            Happy New Year and all that celebratory guff-

                            Guys! i am still getting used to this stuff - last night was day 2 abs and i was climbing the walls so poured a glass of chilled water into a wine glass - I felt SO puritanical and decided to share...

                            Are there really quiet periods on chat?

                            I got on about 3 times to brag that i was having a CUP OF TEA and i even made up a 'cup o' tea dance' (quite like the 'had 5 wines, trying not to spill on carpet, will have to lick up if i do" dance but SOOO much classier).

                            It felt strange to have a shorter cup in my hand at the strange hour of 10pm...

                            So best of luck, great big lovin' vibes out to everyone - I was so tempted to light that fag, pour that wine.
                            But I didn't.
                            And I am now heading to the drink tracker to be a total PRAT

                              No small feat being sober on the biggest drinking night there is- Congrats and keep up the great work!
