Morning all, afternoon and evening too.
Great day yesterday - four buses with two stops, some lovely markets and some trinket shopping done - all of us with purchases!
Brazilian carnival tonight so beach day today - gonna try and relax! Sue there are drink tickets tonight but know I can handle that now!
Renting a car tomorrow to wildlife park - so I know I will stress about that! Amazing how I can run a dept with 50plus staff and few million budget but stress about catching buses and renting cars!!!
Laugh here - the girls gave had two nights of sex education - thin walls (well not really as we haven't heard much else) and holidaying young couple - oh my!!!
Giraffe - I have also been thinking of the 30 day one drink a day challenge - that has made more sense to me than anything I have read in the mod vs AF discussion. And, hmm, coming up to 6months here - and the old body has felt very saggy on the beach last few days - I have the boobs, just they don't live where they used to:H

Hi Jane, Daisy & SL.
Yep, I'm over the moon with the results. I had boobs that i had to pull up, gather and re-assemble into my bra several times a day.
The op was a wonderful success; I expected unsightly and noticeable scarring, but the scarring is minimal (and I scar easily). So I'm very grateful and pleased.
I think, actually, that i could now co-star in a movie with Narilly, if you know what I mean :H
Good night all!

Would be nice to have bigger boobs but don't like the thought of putting something false in my boobs so fat from my arse would be an option........but I don't have an arse either! Maybe fat from my belly........

Thanx BL and NS and J-vo - yeah it was long overdue (literally + figuratively). NS I love the "I STOPPED KILLING MYSELF award"!
Morning Eloise, I agree, Loamers are the best. 15 August is around the corner, you are almost there!

OOOHHH. I have always wanted to lift my boobs. They are like wet knee socks with sand all gathered at the toes (36 LOOONGS). We used to joke about having velcro to keep them up. Hm. Maybe something to think about here...

Daisy - so dang farking proud of you for using this site for all it is worth, and so happy you didn't drink! That puts you SO close to the three digit mark - you got this!

Jane - those journals must have been HARD. My MiL - one of my favorite people on Earth - died many years ago. I have some of her journals, but haven't had the strength to look at them yet (she left them knowing we would read them). I might go digging in my own soon. I DO know that I always wrote when I was sad, scared, anxious, mad, etc., so they don't document the good parts of my life at all. I have to remember that when I dig them up.

SL - sounds like a COOL vacation. I'm not sure if you said where you are, but I hope not Hawaii with the big storms coming! I LOVE the beach... Our Happy Place.

Off to watch Netflix as DH and kids are gone. Normally I'd be into my second drink by now as being alone was an excuse to drink early and often (not that I really needed one!). So grateful to have a night to myself without the drag of alcohol.

Pav I really relish my alone time now. Especially that brief period when I get home first.
Giraffe rock on. Sounds wonderful. :bust:
Eloise
NS I use the play it forward tool a lot. It's one of the strongest ones I have. I just hate to think about waking up after a drinking episode. I've done that and it wasn't fun.
G just keep on. We're here to help you.
SL it sounds like you are having a fun vacation. Sorry about the honeymooners, but it sounds like they are havimg fun too.
Pat one of my clients will be going to Malaysia this next month. I think about you when I'm at her house and see her beautiful book on Orchids. Hope your asthma is better.
Ava I'm happy you are here with us. I am glad I finally reached a place in my life where I am comfortable enough with myself to not care so much how other people see me. It sounds like you are there too.
Have a hood night J-vo.

Haha... I didn't get this at first - I didn't see the two dots and thought you meant your boobs look confused... I got it the second time around Mine are like yours, and honestly I'm fine with that - the small size means gravity doesn't affect them much :H

Me too - absolutely!!!


Jane - I can't imagine how hard it must have been to go back through some of those journals. I hope you were able to find some empathy for your younger (and current self) for all that you've struggled with and moved forward from. :l

I'm going to a social event with my paddling team this weekend, and then next weekend I'm going out of town for 4 days to compete with two different teams - one of which is a major party team. I've been thinking in advance about what I'm going to say about not drinking.

The thing is, drinking is such an integral part of this sport's culture I don't think people can comprehend the idea that someone who chooses not to drink could possibly still be fun. I know in time I'll be able to prove otherwise, but I'm thinking for the short term it might be better to have an "excuse" for not drinking rather than just telling people I don't drink.

Maybe this sounds weak or like a cop-out, and I kind of wish I felt stronger about just standing my ground. However, it's a bit like being back in high school with these people, and I feel like I'm trying to navigate a rather adolescent social scene. I know, even more reason to not care what they think, but I do have to spend a lot of time with each team and I'd like to feel as comfortable as possible.

So.... I've been considering the idea of telling them that I have a bet with a friend to see who can go longer without drinking. The reason I like this excuse better than being on meds or having to drive or something is that I can extend it indefinitely and use it fairly long-term. I figure eventually I can morph it into not drinking at all by simply explaining I was AF for a long time during the bet and I discovered I liked it.

I don't feel the need to do this with everyone. Last weekend I was totally up front with my long-time friends. It's just this weird time of trying to fit in with new groups and not be the weird one who doesn't drink - I want them to have time to get to know me and to realize I'm pretty fun and chill without drinking instead of writing me off or otherwise passing judgments.

Am I copping out? Does it matter as long as I'm protecting my quit?

You're not wagmore - it's just more complicated with some people or groups of people than others. I know that feeling exactly! You don't want to make it a big deal; but it is sometimes rather tricky depending on who you are with or the situation you are in.

Good luck, and I think it's excellent that you are prepared and ready with a variety of strategies. Good luck!

No wags, no cop out, its protecting your quit that is the main issue to deal with and we need to do whatever it takes to do that.

Its just ridiculous how acceptable drinking is and what a leper we are when we say we dont drink. Really is what i always get and i say yes REALLY. I should say do you want some "crack" and see what they say and then i can reply with "you dont take crack REALLY". Bloody idiots some people. okay rant over!

Giraffe what size boobs are you? Damn i would love to get a boob job, like everyone else mine are gravitating towards my belly button. Good on you girl. I may put that on my bucket list.
