Hey, GLoamers

Just a couple thoughts -

MWO is really awful right now, isn't it? I've tried everything I could think of in terms of getting the truth to RJ but it doesn't seem to have made any difference. If any of you want a contact person should this site ever disappear, send me a PM and I'll give you my MWO email address. That would help us hook up somewhere else if necessary. Soberistas has a fee now so I'm not sure that would be a good option. Any other ideas?

Anyway, J, I'm glad you watched that video. I think it is a good explanation (and rather funny at parts, which helps....).

LC, good job on posting and using MWO to get past those cravings. They are annoying and sometimes really hard but not as annoying or hard as hating yourself and your life, right? The worst craving EVER is better than the self-loathing and fear that drinking brings to an addict.

Wags, you are at a funky time where the 100 day goal has been met and the challenge of day to day AF living is gone (which even though it is a drag, it is stimulating in its own way, especially for competitive, goal-oriented people) but your brain has not yet healed enough to avoid drifting back to what it knows as pleasurable and easy. Just hang in there - it passes.

[QUOTE=j-SL, just saw your big 6 months is today! Congratulations on this awesome achievement! You've worked so hard on your sobriety and I'm sure these past 6 months were much better than 6 months of drinking. :l Keep it going, pretty lady!
Yippie! Brava SL !:alf: :alf:

Dear Loamers - thank you all so much. I love this thread - I am just not able to spend as much time as I need to to keep up with you all - but you have been here when I have been down, and saved me from something I knew I would regret - so you have a special place in my heart.
Hopefully I can be a drop in member, as this thread is a really successful one and I do not wish to loose any part of that!
I do believe that a big part of my six months has come from here - well, heck I tried often enough without the loamers - so you guys have to own some of this (with my other group - the abbers!):l:l

You deserve all of those accolades and more, SL. Come and hang out when you can!:l

Tomorrow is my official start day to the school year. Now, how to keep that stress level down when I'm hearing kids scream my name that they need this or that or pee or the phone ringing right in the middle of something important, or the other thousand things that happen in the matter of a minute...hmmm...that's a tricky one. We teach straight through the day this year with a 25 minute lunch at 10:30. Our prep period is the last period of the day when I'll be too exhausted to get anything done. But...that's the way it goes.

Daisy, how did your day go with the kiddos?

LC, you're probably sleeping now, so you got past that nasty craving.

El, when do your art classes start again?

NS, thanks again for that video. I have it saved. Yes, he was quite funny at times. He was so great at breaking everything down and explaining it in laymen's terms and with great and simple visuals.

Night Ladies.

Yo Loamers!

This is good to remember NS. Thanks.

Congrat's again SL. Bravo!

Take it easy out there and pull a POETS on friday.

SL congratulations and I'm glad to think I might have helped you.
J-vo good luck starting back tomorrow. You sound so posative and ready.
LC I am so happy you made it. And the idea of removing yourself even for 5 minutes is a good one. Pamper and spoil yourself. I'm proud of you.
Wags I too went through a tough patch where the excitement of quitting wore off and the healing was just beginning. I actually went through a bad time today. Overtired, frustrared with my bank. I still have no banking. They closed my account and canceled my debit card even before it was stolen. When I called today they told me it probably won't be resolved until Monday. 10 days. So I couldn't concentrate and my brain kept going in circles. The thought of having a drink entered my mind. I pictured that AV, and gave him a big punch in his one eye. One eye because he only sees one thing. A big, red ugly eye. Now its oozing and can't see anything. It does get better.
As G-man says. The only way out is through. I think of that often. And know that whatever I am currently going through WILL pass.

Eloise what happened to the doggie when you took it with you for that check up? Sorry you had to have more surgery. And you'll feel better now. :l

NS, El, LB - Thanks so much for your support. I'll check out the relapse bubble hour for sure. I'm actually not feeling bad, just noticing that I'm thinking about AL much more than I have since I quit. I feel like I should devote some time and energy to propping up or strengthening my quit now so that I don't lose it should a weak moment or strong trigger come along.

LB - So sorry to hear about the hassle with your bank. Stuff like that can be frustrating and energy-sapping. Good for you on not drinking and punching AL in the eye

j-vo - Really hope all goes well with your first day back tomorrow. Is that typical to start on a Friday? Schools here don't start until the Wed after Labor Day. Seems like you had a short summer in some ways.

Jane, Nar, Pav, Ginger, LC, SL, G-man, Daisy, Ava, Giraffe, Pie, Jennie, DTD, and anyone I've forgotten (sorry) - hope you're all hanging in there and that you have a great MAE.

Hi, Everyone:

I have had terrible problems accessing the site over the last day or so. I'm here, sober, and heading to sleep.

Jane - your language kills me. In a good way.

Good night all.

morning ladies.
headache this morning, but energy level seems better.

little beagle: Doggie sat in the car! She was fine, weather was cold and rainy, so I just found a chilly and confused doggie. 'where u been mommie?!' Later I asked hd for help with something and he suggested I ask the dog. Smart ass.

J-vo Art starts again September 9. I had a lady here yesterday helping me with my website and trying to drag me into the 21st century... I am not a big fan of the social media, but she said I need to get with it. I just kind of stared at her, huh? She is older than me. Digesting all this. I want more students in my program!! I guess I am going to have to swallow my principals?

How was the first day of school?

Narilly - how goes it? I am kind of scurrying in circles over here. Hope you are getting along fine?

Good AF day all! I love seeing such a long list of participants on the roll call, I know it keeps me motivated. :wave:

Hi ladies,
Yes I would be interested in finding a plan B in case this place goes away. I just dont understand why she seems to have abandoned the site....sad
I will try to catch up later.
I went to soberistas site and looks like a membership only....not sure how much. Will investigate further and report back.
