Good luck!

Eloise I feel for you. I know if I didn't have a beagle right now I would be sad. :l
Congratulations on the 5 lbs. J-vo.
Narilly that story about the woman's sister hits really close to home. I really am glad we are all here and not drinking. Enjoy the nice weather. It doesn't last very long for you.
Patrice I am just recovering from the flu. Hope your recovery is quick. I took extra zinc while I was sick. It always helps me.
Ava hope that bursitis isn't keeing you down too bad. I had really bad pain in my shoulder once. It lasted about 6-8 weeks. It turned out it was a virus. Some coworkers at the time had visited Vietnam and brought it back, it really hurt. It was my right arm. I couldn't even use the computer and type for very long. :l

Whoa, the posts over the weekend were amazing! So many interesting things going on here.

Thanks for all the 90 day congrats!
I actually was busy on Friday being a rock star due to my 90 day status....now everything is back to normal. I'm just a normal AF gal.

I am just watching a show with my daughter so will come back in an hour or so.

Ava,
Come here and post. We need you. We need so good farking language! How's your arm? How did work go. Let it out baby! Or not. I don't wanna be pushy. Sometimes we just need space.

LB, did you go back to work today? Feelin 100 percent? Love the motorcycle! Does he have a helmut?

El, I can't wait to see your weiner pic. You know I have a weinie, too! Yes, I'm a transexual...not! But I have a mini daucschund an he's my second child. Love him. Well, you have a bike, but you don't like to ride? Are there any nice trails that you could find that you would feel safe? For me, I never liked going to a gym to work out. The germs make me uncomfortable. I like Beachbody products and am using PiYo now - PIlates and Yoga and i've never done this type of exercise, but I'm finding I'm loving it.

Wags, I was working out prior to vacation, and i think that primed me for PiYo. What I believe the difference is I started a low carb diet and cut out sugars, breads, pastas. I got a little cranky last night and wanted something sweet, so if I'm feeling that way, once in awhile, I'm going to allow myself something. It's the sweets I crave more than pasta or bread. But I love the PiYo and I know it's a great workout. I'm drenched when I'm finished and my muscles and feeling it.

Ginger, Happy 70 days!!!!

Nar, so glad you're enjoying beautiful days. When your kids came in at 5 a.m. did you think back to your younger days when you did that? We used to stay out so late. When I became a drunk, I would be in bed so early because I would drink after work and be in bed by 8:00. That was a really sad story of your friend's friend's sister. I could picture it and thought about how hard that must be on the two grown kids. It would break my heart to see someone I love in that kind of state.

Kaily, there are certainly great Monday's! Well, we may be a little off as our schedule changes a bit over the weekend, but nothing like the Monday's from hell I used to have. In fact, most of my sick days were Monday's.

LC, unfortunately, I have a sister in law who only cares about one thing. Herself, her looks, her money, her house, her clothes, and hopefully her two children. I was really upset about her last night as I heard she was talking about me behind my back on our vacation, and I was really angry for about an hour. If I'd been drinking, I might have done more stupid things like called and reamed her out, fought with my husband, but I was able to let go eventually. She's not worth it.

Have a great night Loamers.

J-Vo, I used to have two weenies, I miss them so much! I knew you were a weenie lover, I could just tell
Your SIL sounds like a piece of work. Talking about you? Whateva, she can kiss our butts!

Ava, I wish I could help you with that arm of yours, it sounds so painful. I hope you get it fixed soon. How cold is it there in winter?

Pav, how many miles did you hike? Holey smokers that is a lot. You are aure enjoying your summer.

Life, you are doing so well. I am glad you are embracing sobriety.

Wags, you are making some great choices in your quest to stay sober. Way to go!

Dottie, humble? Where are you?
Anyone hear from Acadia? I hope you are doing well.

Lil B, I take Zinc when I have a sore throat, it really helps me too.

NS, big hugs.

Talks to you all tomorrow. Goodnight.

Hi loamers

Well been a shit of a week. Work is just annoying me, double standards for different people but have a job interview on friday and thursday i am going for an ultrasound and xray. If they wont give me half an hour to have this done at work then i will have the day off and oh probably friday too although i will go for the job interview which is near where i work. oops. hope i dont get caught but dont care if i do. Mia and i plan to go and get some candle making supplies and have a mother daughter day. It gets a tad pathetic when the woman who would not give me the time off is having bets with one of the village idiots on whether i will be at work or not. Petty, childish and immature. My stress levels are off the wall atm but i am sober and i feel confident that i will get out of where i work, if not this job i am going for then another. I always wanted to leave but i was always too hungover and had no confidence, i thought this was my life forever but now i cant wait to leave but i will be patient in my endeavours. Now doesnt that sound grown up and mature? I feel a tad guilty about the two days off but if they treat me like shit then what can i do. The week after i am having the thursday and monday off to visit mum so i am a bit excited about that.

My shoulder isnt too bad but work is really really quiet as my neurologist is away so i am on a go slow. its funny how you think it is ok then you move it to some awkward position (as you do) and it kills.

Glad you are feeling better LB, the flu is the worst. I am feeling for Pat coming home with the flu as that one was a killer.

Pat so proud of you for your af holiday. its a huge achievement especially with all the internal fighting beforehand about how we will cope not drinking and if we will fail. Get better soon.

Jane glad the kids are behaving, it makes for a much better holiday without the stress. Will be glad to have you back.

Jvo i am not going anywhere. Just been a tad frustrated with some mwoers on other threads, it gets a tad disheartening when you put in an effort to help someone and they blatantly flaunt that they are still drinking. i dont think it helps newbies who come onto here in their quest to stop drinking to find someone being supported daily for their "want" to stop but putting no effort in whatsoever. I just need to let that go but i also hope they will fark off. Oh yep i am still swearing like a trooper!

Other than that life is good. no Farquads to speak of, still trying to work me out and that could take bloody years.

LB so glad hubs is doing well and a new bike. now what do you buy for yourself girl? i do hope its something nice as you so totally deserve to be spoilt after all you have done and been through this past year.

Well i am thinking of you all but its my bedtime. I will keep you all informed of my new adventures into the new world. Its not scary anymore.

I continue to be a better reader than poster, but checking in nonetheless. Work was a pain in the butt yesterday, and promises to be again today, so I will stick close as that's a real trigger for me. See you tonight, I hope everyone has a great AF day

Morning Ladies and Gent!

Well, LB, sounds good that you're at 85%. Does DH have a helmet or did I already ask that?

Nar, you sound bubbly and upbeat as usual. You're sharing some really good stories that make me really reflect on some things. Thank you dear.

Ava, I'm sorry you're week is farking terrible. Hang in there. And isn't it great how we can actually feel grown up now? That's so true. Feel grown up and feel as though, yes, we respect ourselves and those that don't respect us can fark off. Good luck with the job thing. You're doing the right thing and I love how you're not afraid of these adventures anymore. Another gift of sobriety. Have fun making candles with Mia!!!

Kailey, keep checking in dear. If there's any topic you want to discuss, bring it up. A lot of times we have great in-depth discussion going on and great learning takes place. Keep reading!

Jane, great to hear from you and that A1 is behaving!!

Need to get my arse in gear right now. Basketball mom has a busy morning! Have a great day ladies!

Hi Lovelies!!

Just a quickie from me right now-- we had a pet mouse die yesterday, which was very sad for the girls, ( I can hear all you dog owners groaning!:H) and ran out this morning to get 2 more little ones to keep the remaining one company. So it's been excitement city here!!

Pat, I'm sorry to hear you have the flu!! ugghhhh.. But so happy to hear you had a successful af holiday. The Loamers are on a roll with AF Holidays!!

LB, glad you're almost over your bout with the flu..Nothing like being sick in the summer. I like the fact that your husband is proud of his sobriety regarding drinking.. I really hope that I am someday able to talk about it openly, without the shame. I'm still not past the shame.

Ava, glad you have the 2 appts. this week--both are positive. I hear you with having a hangover and no confidence. I'm crossing my fingers regarding your job interview! You deserve to be happy at your job! And candle making with Mia sounds so nice-- of course it's winter in your neck of the woods. I keep forgetting!!

J-vo, Basketball Mom! What exactly does that entail? We don't really have organized after school sports like that here--Well, that's not exactly true, but I don't know any parents involved. My dad used to coach my softball team and I remember other parents working the concession stand! Sno-cones and hot dogs.

Nar, the story of your friends friend is so sad. Thank goodness we are all here now with eachother! I really love you all and am so grateful to have you here.

Kailey, Good to see you checking in and reading. Sometimes it's like that-- we don't have so much to say. Nothing wrong with that! I keep thinking back to NS telling me that I shouldn't worry about posting responses to what others say-- if I want to and can, fine-- but if not, it's also ok. Most important is posting about how YOU are feeling-- like you said, staying close during possible "trigger" times. Hope work won't be as you're anticipating!!:l

love to you all .. see you all a bit later!

Hey loamers! Been 'awol' for a few days.....very busy entertaining family....Summer brings visitors and a lot of extra work! My son was home for the weekend so that was lovely. Mum back yesterday from her travels in Canada and America. She is the only member of her family to stay in Ireland. Her mum, brother and 3 sisters emigrated over 45 years ago. It is her first trip since dad died and I think she really needed it.
Had my first pub night out on Saturday....really enjoyed it. There were 4 non-drinkers that night out of a dozen of us. Music and craic was great. Nice to be able to go home when I wanted to....
Ava, glad to hear you have an interview.....and x-ray....everything is fitting into place.
Nar, reading your story about that girl who got so drunk was sad....my sister is off work for the Summer and when she drinks on a night she goes on all through the next day. She has mentioned she thinks she has a problem before but as yet has done nothing to change things.....unfortunately I know this has to come from her.....hard to watch someone and see them make bad decisions. Even if you don't get AF right away, coming to MWO sets the wheels in motion....best thing I ever did.....it gets you reading, opens your eyes, gives you hope......but you have to want it......
This was my lonest spell of not posting (except on rollcall) so I will have to keep at it as this was one of my promises to myself this time around...
Hope you all have a great day....gonna get myself up and about....

Whaaaattt??? Ava, your co-workers sound incredibly childish and unprofessional. That can be so frustrating, especially when you are doing your job very well (I'm certain) and striving to provide patients with a far higher standard of service. Wow. Just wow. I wish you all the best with both the interviews and your shoulder. Glad you're going to have a great day with Mia and then a visit with your mom. Take care!
