    Ladies on a Mission: The Official Site

    MAE ladies

    Waking up to a sober Saturday here and its nice to have a smile on my face when i wake instead of trying to remember what I did, what i said, how much i drank the night before. Glad Pat and I are in a time zone where we can relieve each others boredom and have a chat, I will miss you Pat.

    A huge congratulations to SL and Humble, so proud of you guys on what you have achieved. I am glad to be your friend and see the accomplishments and posts that make life so much more enjoyable.

    NS loved your post and your wisdom. No whoop dee daa here but a feeling of achieving something I have started for once. A feeling of contentment that i dont have to argue with myself everyday that I am not going to drink to get through the day to not reward myself with al at the end of it. Its the little things that i feel proud of at the moment.

    Dot the drs here are pretty good regarding not giving pills. I remember when i slipped two discs in my back and had to go back to work after six weeks, i went to get some Valium as it stopped the spasms and the dr said "cant you take Paracetamol", well i just looked at him and said "now why didnt i see you f'ing six weeks ago". Maybe a touch too much sarcasm but i got the valium. I am an alcoholic not a pill addict but i did not tell him that of course.

    I googled "Drinking a Love Story" last night and so need to buy it. If i download it it is $27 and if i Amazon it it is about $12 but i dont want to wait for delivery. I need to learn patience.

    Jvo i work and come on MWO, figure that I dont have to actually work work for 8 hours and keeps me grounded. I always found from 4pm onwards the thoughts of al would sneak in and i had to justify as to why i should stop and buy al on the way home even though i said i would not drink ever again that morning. No more of those thoughts thank god.

    I sent an email to my SIL who is visiting in January and her and i are huge/massive drinkers when together and told her I am not drinking so i wonder what the response will be to that one.

    I hope everyone is happy and safe today. I so love this site, its its own kind of drug to me. The feeling of not being alone and understood is a wonderful feeling.

    Today i will not drink.

      Hi girls,
      Congrats to SL (30) and Humble (40)- really cool
      Thanks NS for that post above.. we can't always feel great. The first few times I gave up Al for long periods (more than 40 days) I did feel great, this time no so much but the difference this time is that I know having a drink won't make me feel great either.. didn't really get that before

      Available - had a great chat last night, it really is important to have someone in the same zone (time and mind!) to be able to get instant replies.Had a terrible sleep last night, up at 5am but no probs because I don't have to work. Yeah I really need a hobby too.. exercise maybe.. Man! after I got off line last night I cooked up a big old steak, spuds n salad.. really yum but god do I feel gross this morning because I didn't eat until 9.30!! Oh well better than feeling wine - gross!!

      Have a great MAE all

          Morning Pat, i woke at 6am, big sleep in here but i suppose our body clocks are used to getting up at that time for 5 days a week so hard to break now.

          I felt great at 40 days so i suppose that is why i am back to 14 days. Complacency i will call it, thinking i could mod, yeah that worked a treat! Now like you i know i cant drink, i can smoke like a chimney though!

          I slept like the dead last night when i did go to sleep at midnight. I am thinking exercise too but need to put those walking shoes on and get going. Will work on that one, will probably still be working on it when you get back from hols though.

              Hi Ava and G

              Exercise is my NY Resolution.. really happy I don't have to say Giving up Grog.. cos I've already started that road!! The cigs I'm not too worried about now but have got an e cigarette that I'm taking to NZ to start that process at some point. ( no one in that clean green country smokes!!)

              Hey Ava, do you download books as ebooks? I downloaded my first ebook last week and want to download the Drinking a love story.. but on Amazon I cant find it as an ebook.. I think its expensive but really want to download it onto my ipad to take away with me..

              Hope you have a great day! I'm enjoying the peace and quiet here at 7am, sitting outside listening to those jungle sounds with a coffee, tired but ok. Sheesh this putting one foot in front of the other can be a drag but it really works, doesn't it!

                Hey Mr G and ty, i am slowly getting my head around this no al thing. The light bulb has been flashing for awhile but now the switch is turned on and shining brightly.

                God Pat how many times have i given up al at New Years. Its either that or fags! I have an e-cig too, lol god we are so much alike ha ha. Mine is in my hadbag, ready and waiting to go. Maybe since you are not drinking the fags are still the go. Just a suggestion, we all need a vice.

                I have not ever downloaded a book but i want to download Drinking too. Amazon just had the book not an ebook. I-tunes it was $27 to download. I may go to the library and join.

                I am having a coffee at 10am, third here and thinking of what to do, i know the house needs a clean. My boys are asleep so appreciating the quiet time and procrastinating within myself.

                  Yeah I'm not going to give up fags yet... made that mistake too many times... I always try to give up booze, cigarettes, start exercise, be more organised and have a clean apartment.. All on the same day. It failed EVERY time so now I'm not putting pressure on myself!!

                  Well Shit!! Just been wondering why I can't download or buy that book and just found it can't be downloaded in Malaysia WTF? I thought maybe cos here it's a Muslim country but looked at the list of countries you can download it and .. Afganistan is on the list??

                    Yes Pat same here, lets give it all up and fail at every single one of them, now that will make us feel good!

                    What site did you go on to download the book? You will need to find the net in NZ and download it there is my theory.

                            Patrice,
                            Download the kindle app on your ipad, then you can download the book onto kindle. Kindle is free.

                              Yes, Pat, what AVA said. Download it while you're on your holiday. It's the best memoir. She, Caroline Knapp, passed away a few years ago at a young age. So sad. But her story is excellent.
