    May Flowers - Week 2

    Good morning everyone

    Just thought I would start us off on our 2nd week journey. What a way
    to start the week - our very own Papmom celebrating her 2nd anniversary.
    Not good with the graphics and will post on the other special thread but
    wanted to say what an achievement and congratulations :goodjob:

    Talking about good jobs, Chill another A, congrats too and what a wonderful
    start.

    Everyone else big hello and have a great week. Rushing but will catch you
    all later.

    May Flowers - Week 2

    Thanks Rustop!! I can't quite believe it myself! I've come a long way from white knuckling through those first months-wondering if I will be successful "this" time but knowing deep down I had to be. No more poison for me!

    Thanks for starting us off. Great job Chill!! You will be competing with DG for valedictorian of that I am quite sure!! Thanks for my special thread-I can't wait to get a quiet moment today to revel in the accomplishments and the good wishes!!

    Have a great day everyone!

      Congratulations, Papmom3!!!

      What an awesome accomplishment!! Not only have you achieved for yourself, but you have helped so many others along the way. You have trudged through many adversities and didn't let any of them derail you! You are one very strong lady.

      Dont forget, you can: start late, start over, be unsure, try and fail AND STILL SUCCEED!

      If it is important to you, you will find a way. If not, you will find an excuse.

        May Flowers - Week 2

        Hello blooms and pilgrims in Week Two! Thank you dear Rustop for the launch. I am so happy to hear of the ANNIVERSARY OF PAPMOM3. As I have said before you help me every day and I am in your corner cheering you forward as you sort through work and dogs and health and huts and hoarders and money. I thought of you over the weekend when I met a lovely woman ?demo-ing? in front of my favorite pet store ?Long Leash on Life?. She had great bits of dehydrated meat and fish from ?Stella and Chewy?s? and my doggies fell in love with her. She was having such a pleasant time with the customers and their humans, it seemed like making money was just a side effect. I look forward to hearing about your time with it and again congratulations on your accomplishment in kicking our habit.

        We are just coming off another thirty-six hour wind storm and I am frazzled from hand wringing and lack of sleep. I don?t do well in the big wind. It wasn?t the seventy-five mile an hour killer of a few weeks ago but relentless gusts in the high fifties. I had a funny insight in to the differences between the psyches of Lord Bird Heart and me. I projected all sorts of terror and sadness onto my baby plants and new little tree while Lord Bird Heart thought they were at an amusement park saying ?weeeeeee?. I think I?ll take his unconscious over mine:H. Off to exercise formally rather than just carry an f-ing isometric contraction in my brain. Love, Ladybird.
        may we be well

          Good morning to all!

          Hate it when I have to catch up - busy weekend with the garden market and unfortunately was called into work on top of all of that! Going to enjoy a mini-vacation with hubby this weekend to celebrate our wedding anniversary (29 years - where does time go???) I am so ready to get away for a while and just RELAX!!! Wish I didn't have so long until retirement:upset:

          Papmom - CONGRATULATIONS! You are awesome! Such a happy day for you and hope you are darn proud of yourself! You inspire us all :h

          Howdy to Dill, LBH, Rustop, Lav - sorry all I've missed - haven't had time to go back and read (sneaking a minute at work here)

          Catch up later but hope you all have a great day!

            Hi Everyone

            This course gets more intense each day and just when Im getting it they teach us something else. Its great fun too and good exercise for my "new" to learning brain, I guess Im just grateful I didn't kill ALL my brain with the alcohol.

            PAPMOM - Im so so happy for you and very proud. We were working today on determination and both Starty and I relived the determination it takes to make the decision to go AL and stick to it. Once we have applied that to such a challenge we can apply it to other things in our lives and achieve so much. You're ability to pick yourself up every time you get a knock is relentless and so admirable. You rock SISTA!!!!

              Hi, Folks,

              I've been away physically, but thinking about you all every day. Funny, Dill, I had the same thought - must be my previous service in our country's Navy that linked me to the sea.

                  Whoops; hit Enter before I was finished. Anyway, I've been away and missed you all. I wish congratulations to those who've met some impressive goals and accomplishments lately!

                  After being away for a few weeks, due to work travel and other distractions, I plan to stay closer to MWO, as I feel that it increases my ARF (alcohol resistance factor) exponentially.

                  Your dog stories were/are enjoyable reading - Mrs. B rescued a couple of adult SHih-Tzus a while back. We had them for 5 or 6 years before they both developed serious health problems (cancer in one and Cushings in the other). They were both deathly afraid of storms, and that's how they ended up sleeping on our bed. It's been about a year since they went off to their rest, and she is looking on Petfinder for more when the time is right.

                  And I enjoy your gardening stories as well.

                  Happy May, Everyone. This month is already flying past.

                  All the best,

                  Bouv :h

                    Hi Bouv. I love ARF! Welcome back to MWO Janice, this is a fine thread to sort things out, and you are correct, Rustop is a particularly good reason to stay with us. I am looking forward to a simple night after a lot of restless feelings today. Sometimes I just can?t rest in the present for more than a nanosecond but at least I will stay away from booze and hope for a gentle night and a more settled tomorrow. I feel better already just writing that down! Love, Ladybird.
                    may we be well

                      :yougo::yougo:CONGRATULATIONS, PAPMOM ON 2 YEARS AF!!!!!!:yougo::jumpwow::bday3:

                      My dear beloved Papmom,

                      Congratulations on 2 years of AF living!! I am in awe of your energy, strength and commitment. Despite facing, and overcoming, herculean financial and job-related barriers, you have successfully risen above these crises and have set an example of accomplishment and perseverance for all of us here. Your energy most of all demonstrates what anyone can achieve with an AF lifestyle. Of all the many qualities about you that I love, the one I love most is your unselfishness. You make time for all of us....despite your inordinately busy schedule, which you balance with incredible aplomb. I think I speak for all of us here. Tonight, as my previous career officially came to a close today, I am proud to know you. What could have been a very sad day for me has instead been one of celebration on your special birthday. Your unconditional support has buoyed me through many of my darkest days. I am so grateful for your compassion...today, tomorrow, forever. Happy Birthday!!!!

                      Love,

                      Rusty
