Lisa....................I think you did the only thing to do! Johnny sounds like he is a little self centered. I'm not sure he can redeem himself either!
Lets see.........get my sorry a** out of bed and do what I said I would do............or sleep in...
It sounds like he may have "gotten lucky" last night maybe?
And you probably got lucky today and didn't meet him at all!
Just my old fashioned thoughts on what a true "Prince" would do!

Hope tonight is better!

Evening all.

I've had a busy day off today. I've been putting in a new fireplace to house the new fire that we're getting installed tomorrow.
Stil AF. 7 days now.
Lisa. Some of my gender can be real pains, but there are a few good guys out there. I hope you enjoy yourself tonight.

Hi everyone. Such big time zone differences on this board. Really very cool!

The big day 5 for me. I hate day 5 because I never make it passed it. This time it doesn't seemed to be haunting me. I like Kathy's comment about the freedom you first feel when you decided not to drink. I was thinking yesterday, it's actually kind of liberating because I don't have to think about how much, I only have to think about avoiding it.

I can't avoid it today, it's my son's 9th birthday and he is have a bowingpizza party. There is a bar there and the parents of the kid's coming all drink. He will never know it, but one of his presents today is his Mother will not be one of the drinkers. My plan is order a big diet soda as soon as we get there, that should last the 3 hours we are there.

Changeling: 30 Days Hooray, Hooray, Hooray!!!!

Bear: Great Job with the Pub, I bet alot of those folks had to convinced themselves this morning that last night was great fun.

Andy: Well Done!

Lisa: You are nobody's door mat!!

Great day to everyone, I really need to go bake a cake now.

Hugs,
Laura

I am soo pround of everyones accomplishments today!!! You all have so much I am not even going to TRY to list them ALL!!!!! So I will just say congrats to everyone!!!


And Lisa....That was awesome...he is not worth it...he sounds like an ass...awesome response..and quite classy!!!!!

I did my run this morning, it went wonderful, it was absulutely beautiful outsite, it was nice and chilly but not too cold, i like it to be somewhat cold so i dont get too hot..it was a little windy but not too bad, overall a good run!! The time just flew by and before i knew it i was done...

Then i had lunch with my mom..who i dont generally get along with, but i had a nice time...and.....FINALLY

MY BOYFRIEND IS COMING HOME!!!!

he lands late tonight and will spend tonight with his son, then tommorow night and monday he is ALL MINE!!!

I have spent these last 15 days getting sober on my own..with the help of you guys of course, and i did that on purpose, i wanted to be sure i COULD do it on my own, with no help, just in trusting myself, and using my own free will to come home every night and trust a promise i had made myself, and i am proud to say for the first time in a long time i have not lied to myself this time or broken my own trust, i did it, i did what i promised myself what i would do, and i did it here in my own home without a person standing over my shoulder, and i was deathly afraid it was going to come to that...

My boyfriend left on a trip three weeks ago, and i decided i would take that opprtunity to quit drinking, i had tried many times over in the past, but always had and excuse, now i am in no way saying i am healed in any sense of the word, but i am am so much farther that i have ever been before towards something better...it took some time to accept, but with the kind words of you all, and some hard to hear advice, which i took...he is coming home to someone who for the first time in three years can look in the mirror and see person she is proud of. I have learned a lot about myself since joining MWO in December, and this is just the beginnning. Thank you all for being there for me.

I apologize for the long post, I just had a lot to say today...

Love Victoria

So many to congratulate here.
To any of you fine ladies starting to date on this board all I can say is that I agree with Paul: There are a lot of jerks out there, but there are just as many nice guys. So keep plugging away!

I hope the reunion with your boyfriend is everything you dreamed of.

Lisa, I guess this guy assumed you were going to leave the entire day open for him. Pretty cocky, if you ask me - good riddance.

Congratulations to everyone else on all of their successes.

Wow! A lot going on here today!! Good going everyone!!

Victoria, I know all too well how good it feels to have done this without the 'man' around! Great job! I am on 29.75 Days AF LOL! Tomorrow will be 30!!! I can't believe it. And with my being alone, day in - day out, I am amazed at this inner strength I have discovered, as you probably are as well. Such a feeling of empowerment! (No, I am not going to get too cocky).

Lisa, you so deserve better than some doofus thinking his sleep is more important that your first date. At least you know now what he is capable of and that probably isn't too much!!! He isn't worth your time!! I hope your second date goes great!

And to the rest of you.......... wishing you all a wonderful day/night!!
