Hi Loams
Day one going well. Just about to detox using our new Ionizing machine. You put your feet in a bucket and then it sends a low electrical current through your body. The water turns different colors which tells you what you are detoxing from. Hoping it pulls out all the toxins from last night.
I am so looking forward to waking up clear headed tomorrow and every day after that. I am going to do the dots on the calendar thing too. I did that when I had my 5 months sober. It really helped. Don't really know why I began drinking again.
Looking forward to posting tomorrow.

Hi, R4L

Let us know how that machine works!

It would be good if you could figure out why you chose to drink after 5 months so you could do what is needed to avoid that happening again. Having a daily plan as well as one for "surprises" is really important.

What is your plan for tomorrow?

thanks NS, i know we have been where he is and i just had to say something as people will get to that stage where if he doesnt help himself none of us can. I just kept away lol so i dont know.

Today i have finally cleaned my pantry cupboard and the great thing was i was listening to the Doors on CD and danced. I cant dance but damn i danced and I am happy i did that. Small things without al make you realise that we don't need it to make us cope with life, we need to find us to cope with life.

Well i am going to get ready and get my daughter and take my shitzu for the expensive groom, boy is she going to love this not!

So funny that you wrote this. We always have "dance parties" with the kids and cousins, and I love to dance, but ALWAYS when I have had at least a drink or two so that I don't feel so self conscious. On Christmas Eve my son started a dance party and I demurred. Then I thought to myself - what the heck? Who's going to care. We had a wild dance party, no alcohol involved. It was a wonderful thing to realize that I could have that kind of fun with no alcohol.

I, too, liked your posts to Rahul - a tough but loving reminder of the fact that he has to help himself first.

Hope that shitzu survives. We have a mutt who looks a lot like a shitzu, so I like to say that to all of the owners - they recoil a bit when I compare my mongrel to their princes! :H

OK - off to rent a movie after a lazy day. A bit of cleaning and a lot of reading (a great book - Life After Life by Kate Atkinson).

Check back later.

Well, good day - having a steak for NY day supper after taking girls snow tubing. Red wine did cross my mind - it is hard when it is a pattern, but just another one to break. Back to work tomorrow (office work as I have been on call all week) - :upset::upset:.
Tree doesn't come down till weekend, so no cleaning for me today...
Hope all are having peaceful sleeps/lovely evenings etc.

Hi Loams,

SL, :upset::Back to work tomorrow for me, too. But actually I'm kinda like this in a way. I think my body will be pissed at me for getting up well before the sun comes up, but my head will be like, "I can do this." I feel pretty darn good. Just fat. Oh, another :upset: Emotions all over the place! Maybe hubby's right. Bi-polar... 105 out of 122 DOTS! :cheering

Humble, great post, and again, congrats on your 60. That's such a great accomplishment. Did Byrdlady give you "boobs" as a prize? Looked like boobs with a white bra? Or was that a set of boy parts??? WTH! I've no idea what that was.

Glad you're here R4L! And I've gotta get back to some exercise. Running...I'll just walk really fast. Did you ever hear of Chalene Johnson at Beachbody.com? I have lots of her DVDs and love them, well kinda. I don't love exercising, but I like what she does. I'm gonna find those DVD's tomorrow and dust them off. I think they're under the couch downstairs in the basement...

Dottie Belle, do you like the food channel? We like a lot of shows on there. And good for hubby watching the healthy stuff!

Ava, glad you're feeling better!

All you Loamers, have a super duper night!

Humble and Byrdie,
You did give her a set of boobs! I can't wait until my 60 days to get my new set! The push up bras just aren't working anymore.

j-vo yes we have the food channel and the cooking channel and I have found a few mor that have cooking shows. Holiday is over so I will get back to cooking tomorrow...

Dottie, I love watching Triple D, Andrew Zimmerman, and one more guy and can't remember his name. He goes all over the world and does food and culture documentaries. Hell's Kitchen? Crazy, but I love Gordon Ramsey. I watched some episodes of Top Chef and liked that as well. Chopped. Lots of good shows. Happy cooking tomorrow!

Hah. Love the boobs. I don't need any more boobs, thanks, but maybe I can borrow some of that velcro they pass around the nest to hold them up?:blush:

I like your attitude about work, J-Vo. We have off until Monday, so I'm ok, but really I basically love my job and feel very lucky to have it for a number of reasons. So in following G's attitude of gratitude, I try to look forward to returning. Vacation is nice, but all things considered I'd rather have a job than not.

Weird - today there is a 1/2 bottle of champagne and a 1/2 bottle of wine in the fridge, and every time I open it I sort of look longingly at those bottles. I won't drink them and if I think about it I don't even really want to, but dang if they aren't speaking to me. My sister is leaving tonight so I'll give her the wine, and I'll get DH to finish the champagne. I also decided to pour the orange-cello (orange vodka) out today when I was cleaning up. I accidentally poured it all over my hand (and got a good whiff) on the way down. I had a slight tug, I must admit. Like everyone says, those instances happen from out of nowhere, and we have to be prepared. I don't want to drink, I don't even really consider it an urge - felt more like a magnetic pull toward a habit. I'm not really sure even how to describe it, so I'll stop there.

Anyway - I am happily reporting all of this completely sober.

Have great days all of you returning to work. We'll be here holding down the fort. I agree with NS that it would be great to try to keep this an active and lively thread. Sleep tight, loamers.

Hi again
To answer your question Pav, my plan for tomorrow is to go to the gym (workout is booked) and I also have to work. I have some classes I have not used for Bikram yoga so I think I will try to hit a class in the witching hour. If Hubs would like to go to a movie that may be the other plan. I really need to keep busy in the early evening so boredom and restlessness does not set in. I also need to make sure I eat regularly.
I crave al when I get hungry. I am starting a new program on Jan 8th called EAT. It teaches you to eat clean and healthy. I am looking forward to that.
I started drinking again when our 15 year old dog passed away and I was having some severe marital issues. I just couldn't handle the stress. I have a very stressful job and family life. I realize that can't be an excuse to drink. I need to take care of myself even more during those times and that is what I plan to do.
So on to tomorrow,
R4L

hey j-vo, feeling fat too (cooking shows don't help - I love them but they make me hungry for yummy food!) - and as to the boobs, I am looking for new bras when I lose some weight!
Well really must get to bed so I can toss and turn before the alarm goes off - glad you will be attending to the thread when we are at the grindstone Pav!
Ready for another green dot - let's load up the calendars!:l

Pav she looks gorgeous now but nearly bit the hand of the groomer but it took an hour to do so she was real real bad, now if i could only post a pic. Must check out what gambler pm'd me on posting pics.

Oh boobs, lets not get onto that subject. They keep my belly button warm sigh.

Food shows, yup, hate cooking, my kids are grateful that they lived through my cooking. I do cook a nice baked dinner and pea and ham soup but when i have two boys that dont appreciate my culinary skills i dont cook much.

I just went to the shops and bought, steak (need protein), lollies, soft drink, chicken wings to nibble on the 5 min drive home and a box of ten iceblocks oh and a iced coffee milk. I was starving. Note to self, eat before you go to shops.

Blood test tomorrow and i said to my daughter "can you message me at 10pm to tell me to stop drinking" and she gave me a look and said "oh i thought you were going to drink wine", they are still getting used to my non drinking ways.

sleep tight everyone.
