morning all - up again for another SOBER day!

It is poison - I can't do it anymore - back to letting those thoughts drift in and out and remaining focused on my goal.

My eating has slipped this week - lots of sugar and i think that always makes me more likely to slip/as has lack of exercise due to heavy cold.But more than anything it's ignoring the BS in my head.
Cycling today then gym after work,then off to gig.

Have a great day everyone and see you tomorrow firmly in AF world.

Good morning, Abbers!
Bear, so happy to hear that you are AF! You felt awful after one glass of wine--that is probably a sign that the AL is "poison." I used to resent it when I was told to picture the scull and bones on a bottle of alcohol. I KNEW it wasn't poison--how stupid! Now I have no trouble with that image--only poison could do what AL does to us.
LVT, funny about hubby not taking advantage of the boys being at game on VD!! But you got to see the boys play. I don't do much with FB, but do see the strangest things people post. One woman I know, who has a 20 yr old daughter, a son about 12, a stepson who is 3, and is pregnant with new hubby, writes the most outrageous things, usually full of expletives. I don't get that! And we can even read the walls of those we aren't "friends" with. I mostly share dog related posts!
Turn, I am about to order vitamins (from Vitacost) and will look for the collagen. And I need to be better about taking my Calcium regularly. Thanks for the info! And yeast--I remember a few years ago at a girls night out event, I did the thing--name escapes me--where you soak your feet in something, and it pulls toxins from the body. The water quickly became a murky mess, and the woman doing this told me I was full of yeast. DUH-with all the AL I was drinking, no wonder. And I know that in the book Seven Weeks To Sobriety, she talks about being tested for yeast.
Sunni, glad barn is dry and horsies are happy! Guess it's still winter there! We have just about lost any snow we had. Another day in the 40's!
Uni, so great that you managed to do so much yesterday! I do feel better after going to the gym, so moving around helps.
Pap3, hope you are over the Westminster thing! Have to agree that the poor thing doesn't look like a dog. Saw him on one of the morning shows on Wednesday, and he looked so exhausted. I still haven't seen Best Of Show, but hope to watch it on Netflix today or over the weekend.
Have to check out Pinterest--have not been there.
Greenie, Lav, Det, and everyone else--have a great AF day!
Have to get to AA early, as I was asked to fill in for Friday coffee maker. I will also get my three month chip today!! YIPPEEEE!!

Morning Fabbies!

Amazing how one glass can cause you so much misery isn't it bear? Keep that memory alive - all those day ones must suck.

TDN, that stuff turnip mentioned caught my eye yesterday. I'm glad you mentioned it agains as I didn't write it down but now I will. I get my stuff from vitacost too. Good prices.

Sunnybutt I meant to express condolances for the barn leak. A drink may have crossed my mind over that. You've really done well having your 3 months during the barn extravaganza. You rock! Hope the barn doesn't get a yeast infection. (that's an old thread joke)

Oops it's 8 AM! off I go and one thing's for sure!

Abbers!

Bear - I'm playing devil's advocate but is one glass of wine every so often such a bad thing? I wouldn't say this to those of us who can't have one glass of wine, stop at that, and then not drink again for a few weeks, but it seems from what you say that you don't drink very often and when you do it's only a glass or two. Can you explain why that's such a problem?

BTW: I'm NOT advocating drinking for people who have a problem with it. Comments anyone?

Congrats on your three-month chip TDN.

Lav - funny story about the FB paramedic :H

Mornin' Greenie & all to come. Have a good day all.

Good morning Abbers!

:wd::yay: CONGRATS ON 3 MONTHS AF TDN:wd::yay:

bear, the absolute best thing you can do for yourself is learn to ignore the mind chatter One glass DOES hurt you - hurts all of us!

TDN, happy coffee making today

Greenie, I've been looking for a source of liquid calcium/vit D & am planning to check Vitacost today. Obviously I have not absorbed the billions of tablets I've swallowed over nearly 30 years so I hope a liquid source with help with the osteoporosis situation....

Off to Curves, have a great AF Day everyone!

Hi Marshy - that's a good question and one that i struggle with - is when i have been drinking recently it hasn't been huge amounts (3/4 of a bottle of wine max but that is still more than healthy amount) - also in my experience it escalates within a month or so to unhealthy levels if i do try to moderate.

It makes me feel ill/anxious/depressed and I ALWAYS want to get really drunk and chasing the buzz takes over my night - rather than on being with who I'm with.

Thanks for clearing that up for me bear. I think I'd only ever seen you say you had a glass or two very occasionally. You're right, 3/4 bottle is an unhealthy amount. BTW, there's a programme on next Monday eve on the Beeb (not sure when/which channel) about the "new alcoholics" - people who drink wine at home in the evenings. I'm telling you coz you're in Britain, not because I'm pointing fingers :H:H
