Yes we work around it sort of but not the same....may look into some toys...there is a local company that has "home parties" and they sell those types of things.
Or as ava said if I want the job done right I might as well do it myself...;-))

I apologize LOAMERS. I was out of my head last night and probably for the first time, truly drunk when I posted here. I've always come here first, before I caused damage. As you all know, I have had a couple of glasses of wine over the past nine months, realized where I was headed, posted here for help, and then poured the rest out. But last night was different. It was the old me and wow - it was ugly. I was ugly. So please forgive me. I just re-read what I posted. OMG - I don't even remember it. How disgusting is that. Blackouts. The good old days

I am sick today. Sad to my very soul. Emotionally and physically hungover. But mostly ashamed of myself. I guess the beast is winning. Maybe time to check out meds or something. Anyway, I'll be around - reading. Love to you all.

Ava - congrats on day 101! Sorry I selfishly had a meltdown on your big 100. You deserve all the blessing you can stand!

Moss - I was looking for you today, so happy to have you back...:l:l
Sorry you feel bad, but bottle that feeling up and remember it everytime you feel yourself falling again.
Do not be ashamed - we have all come here for the same reason. We are in this together, thats why it feels so good to be here. I am sure I speak for more than just myself, I know I was thinking "there but for the grace of God go I" - and a really big sigh of relief. And you did a great job of reminding Ava just what a great thing she has achieved

MAE, All:

Moss - yay, you're back. Settle in, sweetie. You can do this.

As for Dottie's question - there is no doubt in my mind that sex is much better sober! I won't go into details, but DH agrees. I think the toys are a good idea, Dot, given your situation. In the steppers thread they call having sex with a partner "playing checkers," and helping yourself, "solitaire." (I trust the wisdom in that thread, for sure.) Nothing wrong with a good game of solitaire now and then! Maybe DH can kibitz? Good luck, Dot. SL - I have a DH and have looked - I don't have the guts, either. Ava? Advice???

OK, Everyone - you have a while to wait still. Still a ways to go here until my day 100 - 6 hours, but I will be sleeping at midnight so I'll check in first thing in the morning. We'll celebrate then.

Be well, Loamers. Thanks for bringing some laughs to the end of my day.

Moss, so glad you're back with us. You know, when you said 9 months with a few glasses of wine until last night, that's really huge success! I never had nine months, and I can only hope to be able to do that. And whatever happened, remember how you don't want to feel like that again, or whatever caused it, do what you need to do to be at peace or find peace. We are imperfect human beings, and as long as we're here trying to be better, and we are, then we can't do much more than that. Stay with us. We may not know all the answers, but we sure do know about toys, and solitaire, and checkers!

Tomorrow's your big day, Pav! Can't wait to celebrate with you and the girls!

Sound advice Pav...sound advice!!

It's good to have a laugh at the beginning and at the end of each day.
Mossrose glad to see you back. One of the main things keeping me from drinking is the terrible, sick hangover that last binge. I keep that memory fresh and every time I am tempted, I play the tape forward to where I feel like that, and then I just don't drink because I will do what it takes to never go there again.
Pav tomorrow!
Narilly sounds like you better watch out from all that warm weather. You might get sunburn wearing your summer togs. Sorry to tease. I had to put on sunblock today because it was so warm and sunny.
Dottie I am going to leave all advice to Ava.
NS that was my laugh. :thumbs::H

Haha, LB, sun block... I wish! It is only +2 out right now but waaaay better than -30!

Moss, glad your back. Like Pav says, settle in. That sucks you have a hangover, but it's a good reminder of why you want to be AL free.

Dottie, Ava,my top drawer is kinda boring but I get by love the checkers and solitaire Pav!

SL, that was funny. Attracting men on a mission


Well, I am bagged so G'night beauties.

Good Morning, Dear Loamers!!
I am running off to work early today, so I will reply individually later! I missed out on all the great sex talk, Damn!! I do have something to add, though...

PAV!!! 100 days is amazing! You are in lala land right now, but I've made some lovely crepes and have a pot full of hot coffee for when you wake up. Can't wait for your party in a few short hours. I am so proud of you! I remember just about every step of your journey up to this point. You have been one of the key people I follow for honesty and insight and humour. Big fat hugs to you..:l:l

Moss, big fat hugs to you, too!!:l:l I am actually relieved to hear that it was the Beast talking-- I thought so, because you sounded exactly like I've felt. oh so often. It isn't what you want, though. You want to be healthy and happy and excited about life. ..How are you feeling today? I hope you'll come here and share.

ok. I am going to be late! Just have to state my goal for the day, which is the same as it has been the past 6 days (which seems like an eternity!)-- not to let my mind wander too far into the past or future. To try and stay as much in the PRESENT as possible. This helps me to stay in the reality of NOW-- which is the only thing I have control over anyway. This is soooo difficult sometimes, but I swear it is helping me to stay sober. The most important thing for me today is NOT to drink. And I won't!!

Hi loamers

PAV PAV PAV, i cant do the fancy pics (technically anally retentive is me) but i want you to know that i know how you feel today, farking fantastic, wonderful, joyous, happy, alive and sober. how much better can it get. To think 100 days ago you had massacred yourself out completely and came to MWO in despair and shame. Now look at you, look in the mirror and see the beautiful woman that you have become, the smile that you have on your face daily, there is no more pity, disgust, self loathing, there is just a woman who has set a goal and achieved what she set out to do. I am so very very proud of you Pav. You have proven and shown that its not easy but its doable and you have done it with grace and style and some "waffling" along the way. I am honoured to be your friend and to be on this journey of recovery with you. You enjoy your day lovely, you totally deserve this and so much more.
God i am getting teary just imagining how you feel, everyone should get to 100 days, its nearly as good as childbirth! xxxxxxooooooo

SL piece of cake ordering toys online and they deliver in plain brown packaging, how good is that. Mind you i do love going to a sex shop, god that makes my eyes bulge with the things they have for sale nowadays. You will shake your head at this story though, god i have some stories! I flew home from a weekend a few years ago and picked up my suitcase and there was a buzzing sound coming out of my bag. OMG i was so embarrassed, i still laugh to think about it as the moral to the story is take the farking batteries out! Men, dont bother, i think i have been through half of melbourne and not found a decent one, not that i dont look but maybe i am too fussy or not fussy enough, wasnt very fussy when i was drinking i know that! I am used to being by myself and i like it now but does get a bit lonely sometimes. I am on online dating sites and none of them are good, i am amazed that the majority of men love walks on the beach, candlelight dinners and cooking. Me personally hate cooking and the beach well forget that, sand, seaweed, salt yukko. No wonder i am single.

Dot i never enjoyed home parties unless the women were quite unreserved, then you look and see if anyone else is buying anything and its a bit uncomfortable. Most of the sex shops have online stores now. Oh we are a funny bunch, talk about anything and we always have a comment, i love it, just like my toys lol.

NS it would take a bloody good man to join us on here i reckon and a game one. Hope you are well my lovely, i bet you are so busy with the wedding preparations as it must not be far away now. I so loved my daughters wedding day and you will love it being sober.

MR thats ok and yep you were blind and yep you have shown me that i dont want to go there and i have to be vigilant. The blackouts were the main thing that made me stop drinking, they were getting so much worse but you know the drill, you know what you have to do. you have been sober you know how good it felt, everyday was worth getting up for, everyday was worth living. Read your post again and feel the pain MR and the sadness and despair. There was none of that when you stopped drinking. We are here for you lovely and really yesterday nothing or anyone could spoil my day of 100 days, it was the best feeling in the world but you did worry me of course. You will get back on track but as you know we cant drink AT people, it serves no purpose to us alcoholics. Big hugs girl and see you soon.

Pave as a by-note i dont think i have had sex sober forever haha, solitaire it is for me until i find a decent one!

Lol Jvo, i hope we know about that stuff, we are old enough i suppose. Funny girl

LB i think i remember every hangover vaguely but i do remember the "feeling the same" daily and that was feeling like crap. Oh it is really warming up if sunblock is needed but i am looking forward to winter but ask me that when there is ice on the windscreen and it is dark at 7am.

Nar if it does the job it is never boring is all i will say. +2 bloody hell, frolicking naked for you, i can see it now! You are sounding really good girl. There are a few of us that need a man so maybe we could do a man drive. Lads Or A Man Earnestly Required could be our new title of LOAMER! Oh i am up there for thinking.

LC i am sure i can keep the sex talk going i seem to like talking about that, another fav topic. 7 days tomorrow, woo hoo and just keep thinking of the today and no other LC, for today you will not drink. No point in drinking AT anyone lovely, hitting them with bricks solves a lot more.

Well Pav i so could not be bothered making the ice cream so i went to the shop (i know, i know) but i bought some lovely mango sorbet and i will make some lovely juices with watermelon, pear, mint, sunflower seeds, rockmelon and strawberries just for us all.

I had a boring day, work just bores me but pays some bills. I'm still smiling and i feel very blessed with my life now i have made it to 100 but i will never become complacent with al.

Love you guys and another interesting day on loamers. xxx
