Ava, I'm glad it's Friday for you! TGIF! Enjoy your day.

NS, where have the LOAMERS gone? We need to make a list and call them out louder. Maybe they'll here, or Ava can do that. She's our motor mouth.

Nar, walking, yoga, swimming with DH! Aw, c'mon! Now you're getting me going for sure! Good for you!!!!

My sister asked me the other night about bike riding this spring and summer. There are a lot of nice trails around here and in the city. I'm going to do it. Gonna buy a bike. I think that'll be a great outdoors activity. She said we can bring lunch and make a day of it. I love the idea, and DH already has a bike, too.

Baseball Boosters meeting tonight! Here we go!

Have a great night all.

Good to see you, DB!

That sounds like a big responsibility. I bet you will enjoy this year's event so much more than the previous 4! Do you feel more self-confident? Getting that back is one of my favorite things about AF living.

Nar, you are quite a committed exerciser! I used to try to sweat out toxins with exercise - now I just enjoy it (but maybe not quite as much as you do!).

Ava, your posts are some of the least boring on MWO but hey, the rest of us have to give you some material to work with!

Hi, Pav. I'm glad you mentioned our missing friends. I'm a big worry-wart, too.

Well, at least things should perk up around here when we celebrate Triple Digits with you and Ava !

NS I feel more self confident on so many different levels. It is amazing to move through each day and remember the night before and what I am supposed to do today...and I wont take the crap I used to because I couldn't remember things....and so much more...

Marylou, Jenniech, Mtngirl, there are so many! Come back, ladies, start posting, lurkers. This is a great thread (even if some of us tend to post a lot - I won't be offended if you skip over some of it).

Yes, five days until I reach 100. Truly hard to believe. I am heading out of town tomorrow and will have a hard time posting much if at all, so if I'm not around I haven't fallen off the wagon or anything. When I was at 89 days I had a full-on drinking dream - I was so bewildered that I had done that to myself on the eve of such an important date!

Ok - my son's sick. Gotta run.

Our little Pav is going to be 100! Wow, how time flies! Isn't it great, being able to take care of yor son while your sober crazy the things we used to do.

SL, it's amazing how exercise make you feel.
Dottie, how was yoga?

J-Vo, I love riding my bike in summer. Can't wait for it to warm up around here.

Watching House of Cards, gotta go!

Dottie, is this a big flea market? I think that will be one of my new hobbies. I'm going to start looking around for them.

NS, you don't think that was loud enough? I can get louder than that!

Ava, 4 days until your 100th and Pav 5 days! OMG. You girls rock. And Pav, hope your son feels better. I hate it when they're sick

Nar, when I get my bike, I'll bike up to Calgary, k? Or do you wanna meet in the middle?

Have a great night all. Way past my bedtime!

Hi - am here, lurking and reading - shhh!!!

Dot that sounds cool - do you get first pick on the good stuff?

Glad you showed yourself, SL! (I mean SL)

I just had a sort of anxiety attack about this weekend and my trip. I haven't really been feeling anything about it, and I'm not going to drink, but I got the feeling that I wanted to. And then I told myself, of course you're not going to and you don't even want to, and then I got anxious about it. I almost felt like it was my first physical craving for al in a very long time. Mostly I don't want to have to explain everything. I have a friend who I feel could be a little judgmental and who MAYBE I can't trust with my feelings, so that makes me uneasy. I ate a lot of peanut butter, got on MWO and now am heading to bed. I really don't like this feeling of being pissy about this whole thing. Attitude of gratitude, don't fail me now. There are several of us going, so I plan to just blend in. Nar, anyone, any ideas for me??

I'll be better tomorrow after a good night's sleep.

Pav just a quick note atm for you. Be farking proud of you not drinking, dont let anyone be judgmental in what you have achieved. Stand tall girl. I know how hard that is when we used to drink to be "out there" but we dont need to drink, we dont want to drink and i certainly do not want to be celebrating 100 days by myself! Its okay to be pissy and have these feelings but just know that what you and only you have achieved. This person did not help you get to where you were and this person will certainly not put you back at "massacre level". I think Bridget said the on a thread that she took a bottle of non al wine and nobody read the label, they just want to see a bottle, you could do that and maybe pour it out and put something else in it as i personally hate af wine not that i have had it for years and probably havent had it ever haha.

I am sure the other girls will have a few ideas but i for one am extremely proud of you.

Hi Ladies on a Mission.
I have been missing in action because I'm still caught on the roller coaster of swearing on everything I have that I will never drink again and then drinking again. I have been reading here and following you all silently-- not wanting to be a pain in the ass and not wanting to be the person who is always going back on what she sets out to do. I keep coming back with the conviction to beat this, to stay on track and then am derailed around the 3rd or 4th day when I ignore everything I know. I just turn my head and look the other way. The wrong way. I had a nice long email exchange with NS yesterday and she brought to mind that I can't expect to be back where I was last year without putting in the hard work once again. I think that could be where I've failed. I WANT so badly to be back where I was-- where so many of you lovelies are!-- but I can't and I'm not. So I have to do the hard work of building back up to that point, one day at a time. No getting around it. I know it continues to be difficult, at different points, for different (or the same) reasons. But damn the beginning is hard. As NS pointed out, I am lucky that I have the memory of that brief period of a much better life that could be mine again. But first things first. My mantra of never drinking again and never changing my mind is there somewhere, but on the back burner, as for now it's too much to handle.

Pav, thanks for the shout out...I am so proud of you. Just 5 days to the big 100! I don't know what to say about this weekend -- except that it's "just" a weekend and definitely nothing compared to the almost 100 days you've worked so hard for. This hindsight thing!! How many times do we (do I?!) have to make the same mistakes? :h

So this is day 2 and I am counting the days and making a plan just for each day. Yesterday I had to work 12 hours and didn't take my wallet to work-- so no chance of stopping on the way home. Today I will choose a life free of alcohol!

I'm wishing you all a good Friday..

Ah lifechange. I know that if I started drinking again I would have a difficult time stopping. But remember that the same amount of time passes drinking or not, and the days really do start to add up. :l:l
J-vo the bike riding sounds like fun. I wish this city was a little more bike friendly. You tske your life into your hands riding one around here.
Dottie the train flea market sounds like fun. I just went to our annual attic sale. That was really fun. Lots of really old stuff there. I found a dress that was from the 70's. At least I think it is.
Good to see you SL.
Ava hope you have a good day.

LB, if a dress from the 70s was part of the really old stuff, what do you call us born in the 60? Antediluvian? Oh well, I had to laugh at myself, and you, and the world in general!

Lovely Friday, you lovely lot!
