AF Thursday 29 August

[bear73]

Good morning all, up early ready for work. I am so much less stressed than I used to be,just thinking back to my old job and the hassles I had there.Still a little stress but that is just life,my mind and being the new girl.Good stress!

I am glad it is Thursday - 2 more days left at work. Off to see a band Friday and then 40th on Saturday - the 40th is a really good old friend/group of friends so I will feel really relaxed there and not so many feelings that I need to drink. I'm being careful though and not counting chickens.

Otherwise today I am off to gym after work then cooking chicken breast and roasted veg for dinner, yummy,quick and healthy. Loading up on fruit at work as well.
Have a good day everyone - day 4 for me here.

Tea and coffee available for all who need it

Hiya bear,how are you thanks for the early start.Glad work isnt so much of a pain for you as it used to be..just keep tekkin little steps and you will get there.

Hiya Det and how are you today? ok I hope ...better than your bosses ...what sort of a nugget sets a trade display up for law enforcement and gets wasted the night before?If I was a little shit..and there are plenty of them, I would be looking for a quick dui as soon as he set foot in the car!!You sholud be proud of yourself mate..not only that .doesnt it give you a smug sense of self satisfaction when the 3 stooges turn up feeling and looking like crap?

Morning SF ..hows you today? my eye seems to be getting a wee bit better ..ta for asking.I have got 2 friends who are on the electronic cigs ...and to me they have just swaapped one addiction for the other! apparently you can get all sorts of flavours for them...they are always swapping between themselves..I know there is a Jack Daniels flavour ..how does that work??? Glad you and hubby are getting along a lot better...do you think it is giving up the booze that has done it? ...As far as your sponsor telling you that you aint one of the chosen ones going....if she has got that much perception and see all..ask her to do your lottery numbers this week!!!:H

Hiya Sam..hows you today? any luck on the job front mate or still in the infancy stages looking ....any plans for today?Cannery row was the novel..wow now we are going back a bit reading wise!!!

Morning Cinders ..and how are you today? good I hope.Does your hubby drink..or to excess? the only reason I am asking that ,is that when you mentioned eggshells, I remember Julie once saying that when we were having a discussion?years ago when Amy was just starting to get to the teen "look at me world..how good am I" years and she said that they were both treading eggshells in case I kicked off..thankfully those days are well past now

Hiya Lav and how are you today? ok I hope that is apart from the nice niece in Germany..she aint close enough in distance or blood kin to bother you,as I am sure it doesnt..Emails make it so easy for people to "gob off" about things they a know nothing about and b know part stories..

Good Thursday morning Abbers!

Still cloudy here after a day yesterday of huge rains. One of my chickens either dropped dead or just plain drowned......not smart enough to get out of the rain?
Well, at least that saves her a trip to the henchman.

Hope your day is good bear!

Mick, I remember both of my kids having conjunctivitis at the same time, gross
Keep washing those hands buddy & don't share any bathroom towels
The raised garden beds I was promised are still not even started. Not YB's fault though, he's waiting for an Amish guy to cut the locust boards that we wanted. Maybe next year, huh?

I have to take my big dog to the vet for bloodwork then my daughter & granddaughter are coming out for the day. I hope to see at least a little sun today

Wishing everyone a great AF Thursday.

Friday just can't come soon enough! I am looking forward to a 3 day weekend here. Funny what those used to mean in the past.

Mick....I did the gum before and got addicted to it...so yes, you do trade one addiction for another. The thing is that you can technically quit and still get your fix anywhere. I'll check on the lotto numbers:H

Its been quite hot here in the afternoons. Looking forward to the pool.....I don't care who peed in it

Lav...enjoy your day....I think you said your daughter was coming over.

Bear have a great weekend. It is amazing that you actually go to these things, not drink, have a great time and actually remember them. I went to a concert last week and I am still reliving it in my head. Past life....I am sure I would have barely remembered it.

MAE Abbers,

Have a large bandage on middle finger of right hand, so typing is clumsy. But I will manage. :-)

Mike, No, hubby doesn't drink. He never has much. An odd beer every month or so if at an event. He doesn't like the effect. Odd, isn't it? I crave it and he avoids it. Unfortunately, it means I can't blame his moods and temper on a substance, just him himself. :H:H

Det, Good on you!!

Well, I shall forgo speaking to all separately as it really is difficult to type and I have a lot to accomplish today but wanted to say hi to all. I wanted to thank all for being here. You are such a help to my sobriety. It is good to have this thread to come to daily as an affirmation of a happy and sober life. Thank you.

Have a good day, friends, and make it count.

Love,
Cindi

ahoy ABeroooooos!

so nice to be home. yay! and back in the paleo zone so my brain is firing on all one cylinders

Mick, a padded floor is a great start on a padded room eh?

Lav, hope your doggy is ok.

Bear, good to hear you sounding well. be sure to have a rock solid gameplan for the night you see the band. no surprises that way.

Cindi, big thanks to you too dear ol friend.

SunFlower, I'm envious of your pool! sounds great.

shouts to TreeTops and anyone else I've missed

being stressed out and eating bad yesterday was a test for me. so glad I was able to mentally fast-forward what taking that first drink would have lead to. as bad as things can be, they can be horrifically worse with AL.

be well

Cindi, what happened to your finger? Did I miss something?
Hope you are OK.

Hi Det - my dog is fine, just has a slightly underactive thyroid, every fat girl's dream :H :H
She loves going to the vet office, loves the attention I think.
Sorry about the bad food day....I guess we all deal with that from time to time, yuck.
Glad you are thinking things through

Good night to all!
