    af day Saturday 6 Oct

    morning everyone on this super sober Saturday.....and how are we all today? Full of beans sand ready to go...bit of a lie in this morning hence the extra energy!Swhat has everyone been up to then?
    Here we go ..tea and coffee on the go , so grab a cup.

    Top o the morning to you Mollyka..hows you feeling today? doing anything out of the ordinary today...is it today your partner in crime returns from her little jaunt?

    Good morning lifechange..how are you today?have you stopped drinking or still putting together your plan?As long as you identify the bits that went wrong before and aware of them, then we are quids in.What are your plans for today and tomorrow?anything interesting..whatever it is stay positive..ask ppq if you can borrow a p to get you through.

    Morning Lav..here is your coffee..Im for another one too..and how is your Friday today?tell you what..lets have a week of Fridays!!!should be good ..getting ready for the weekend every day.
    Take it you are pretty busy today then getting ready for the party tomorrow? :band2: There you go ..thats the band booked..always glad to help!!

    Good morning nurdl well how are you today?well done..you should be really proud of yourself..keep it going..Whats your next target set at?whatever it is we are with you.

    Morning ppq ..hey you sound well upbeat today..chuck some of that energy over here..feel a wee bit tired.What are you up to today then?Must be something iin the pipeline..youre running about like a good un! Think lifechange will be coming knocking after to borrow a p from the p store.Another cuppa on the go..got a real thirst on today..here is yours.
    Have a great day.


    Turnagain..yay..how are you ?long time no see..great to see you there.glad all is good for you.You know that was a really interesting opener you put up...making it not faking it.Read tat a couple of times and it is so impressive..and makes sense.Its like as if ok af isnt a badge any more that Iam wearing for a specific length of time..lets do this , get all the pats on the back and then we can see what happens..thats when resolve begins to taper off and complacency sets in..its understanding that this is now a part of my make up for the rest of my days..not explained that very well but it so impressed my little nucleus of grey.
    Been on the chat a couple of times..but most of the time I have been on it has just been moi..poor old billy no mates..and even I get cheesed off talking to me :H:H
    Certainly look out for you in the future.Been watching a programme called gold divers..working out of Nome harbour..is that anywhere near you?looks when seriously cold place when the winter sets in.

    Morning SF..and how are you today?Glad things are working out for you.Thought that they were going to do something at your company for you so that you didnt have to move?Anyway not everything has got $signs on it in life.

    Det ..well done mate :goodjob: beating that keep it up ..you know where we are ..though sounds like you are over the worst mate well done

    Cantoo.....hiya ..dont know where you are but if you are looking in, hope things are doing just fine for you..Whiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiizzzzzzzzzzzzz...that was aa nice cup of green tea winging its way over to you.Yes it isnt an easy road to travel, but you some it up pretty well...on one hand lets spend lots of money, make ourselves ill,make complete arseholes of ourselves at times,wake up feeling terrible, not functioning properly, put ourselves in risky situations..or on the other hand, be in control, be healthier, know what we are doing,have more money...by simply saying no..no brainer really isnt it? Anyway you have a great time.Look forward to seeing that..zip vid praps one day??


    right folks thats me off fini ende fertig..suns shining ..going to let the rabbits out now.
    Early start for me tomorrow..so may need a thread starter..any volunteers?

    Take care all have a great day

      good morning Abbers!!
      i'm very happy to be here this cold and rainy sat.morning. i'm so happy to be back on track. i have stopped drinking, Mick, thank god. it's the 3rd day and i'm feeling really strong in continuing this af journey.
      it was so nice to get so many great words of wisdom yesterday-- there were things i hadn't yet thought of--like what you said, Lav, about the retreat, starting a new path, leaving the known, perhaps having scared me. it's definately something i'll give thought to. i'm trying to really look at this and figure out what happened to be better prepared the next time something arises.
      and Turn, i'm so interested in researching more about positive thinking and the physiological changes that can be made in the brain. i know this is true because i have experienced it myself at times. but, like many, i'm super strong at the onset but taper off with work once i start feeling better. i'm going to work harder this time on setting in there for the duration.. while simultaneously taking it one day at a time.

        Nurdl, good going on 30 days!!

        Det, i'm also glad to see you back on track. i've followed your posts for sometime and really like your spirit. i am also a garlic freak and unfortunately my bf is extremely sensitive to the smell of it (he has other good qualities!) so while he's gone (now) i'm slicing and crushing fresh garlic and eating it on everything. you seem to really like the paleo diet. i'd love rec.'s to websites with good recipes. my boss is newly paleo and since i cook for him i need new inspiration!

              Here you go LC......"P"......sending you the heavy duty one. There's just one rule, when you don't need it anymore, you have to pay it forward.
              Congrats to Day 3, you're on your way. It's my 2nd Day 52. Seems to me the closer I get to 60 the slower time goes. I'll just look after today and the weeks will look after themselves.

              Morning Mick and thanks for the cuppa. I'd love to send you some energy but would be a little worried about the length of the next thread start. Have to get up 1/2 hr earlier as it is to get my read in. :H

              Thanks Giving weekend here in Canada. Happy Thanks Giving CanToo. This is the start of a rough patch for me as it means Christmas is on it's way. I love Christmas but with the divorce and the famly infighting my special time of the year is hard to take. As my son would say "worrying!" But now I have all of you instead of the bottle to make it through.

              Visit with my Dad today and supper at my brother's. Looking forward to stuffing this bird.

              Apologies to all I didn't mention by name but a big Good Morning to you all.
              Have a great AF Saturday and stay safe.....PPQ

                Happy Thanksgiving to all you Canadians! is your celebration similar to that in the u.s.?

                thanks for the P, PPQ!! i will be sure to pass it on when i don't need it anymore! or give it back to you, as it seems that when it's with you, people know, or find out, where to go looking.
                it's funny, i was also thinking about time last night as i was falling asleep. about how slowly the days seem to pass when one is adding up the af days-- and how it's actually a wonderful thing to have time move a bit more at that pace rather than whooshing by. ususally we adults are nostalgic about the passing of the weeks and years and how fast it all goes by.

                have a wonderful T- day, Life

                  Good morning Abbers & Happy Thanksgiving to my northern neighbors

                  Great coffee this morning Mick, thanks!
                  Cold weather due to arrive overnight so I will be dragging firewood in, fluffing the nest boxes for my feathered friends, protecting some plants, etc today. I've become so accustomed to eating meatless I felt freaky shopping yesterday for meatball & sausage ingredients for the family carnivores for tomorrow's dinner Oh well......

                  lifechange, here's a link to one of my favorite websites. Lots of great reading here to help you get into mindfulness & gratitude thinking: The ToDo Institute: Mindfulness, Procrastination, and Gratitude using Morita and Naikan Therapies
                  Hang in there friend

                  Greetings Molly, G, PQ & everyone!
                  Wishing everyone a great AF Saturday!

                    Hey all. Just a quick flyby, as I am off to do zumba with my daughter this morning. Can't believe I'm driving 45 miles to see her and work my butt off exercising! I need to get moving though, if I'm going to be healthy, as opposed to just not drinking (although that is a mighty accomplishment).

                    I just wanted to share that I hit 60 days Thursday and 2 months yesterday. :yay:I still think of AL almost every day, and I feel like I'm going to float away on iced tea (will be making that a warm cuppa soon), but it is a relief to not have that sword hanging over me.

                    I'll be back later to check in. I hope everyone has a great AF day!

                    Hugs,
                    Yah

                      Hideeho Affers,

                      Been out all day with the family. My daughter got her hair straightened which took four hours! Then we had an enormous roast meal which was amazing. So nice to have a family get together. None of us drink ( I was the only one who did) so that makes life so much easier.

                      Slippery Mick ...... Where do you get to of a Sunday? I am intrigued cos you are up with the birds ...... Just me being nosy as usual.

                      LC ...... Glad you are back up on the horse. Like LAV said the retreat probably stirred up emotions and the one thing common to all of us is using alcohol to suppress feelings.

                      DET.... Good to see you up and about again and sounding so much more cheerful.

                      Molly.......feeling as tired as....will take your advice bout the B12

                      CANTOO and PPQ hope you enjoy the holiday, CAN ...... Bit too late for humour tonight and my funny bone got broken in a dust up and hasn't mended yet! :H

                      Hey SUN .... Your life goes from strength to strength......good on you! Looks like the light at the end of the tunnel has been reached. Remember to get enough rest tho.

                      Hi G...... Keeping my pledge, just keeping my pledge.

                      LAV I know you will check in soon so hope you have a wonderful day, with or without the grandsprogs! D'ya want 3 greedy unproductive silkies cos I'm ready to put them in a pot!

                            Lav...I have that webpage bookmarked since you first posted the link....glad you mentioned it again. A little light reading after stuffing myself me thinks.

                            Morning KY...sounds like you had a lovely day, after enduring the 4 hr wait.

                            Stay close and stay strong all.........PPQ
