Good morning to all,
Day 16 AF and counting, Lucky get out from behind that eight ball, not sure what that means really but it doesn't sound good.

Acupuncture works well for me my doc has these little needles I was able to wear home, he places them on my ear. It seems to help. With any cravings.

Di best of luck on your new endeavor, sometimes I wish I could work from home.

Hi all..
Just checking in. Worked out this morning and then took the car to the shop AGAIN- 5th time. I've officially been ripped off- I was informed today by co-workers.
I have to leave work by 4:50 to get back to the car shop so they can finally fix it..I hope.

No drinking - no smoking- but I've gained 4 lbs. Notice I didn't say no brownies
Di - good for you - sounds like it was the right thing for you -
pop- yea on 38 days
accountable - best of luck to you with the quitting smoking I quit 12/31/2005. I used quitnet.com to help with quitting. I was pretty damned determined. I had a scare with my aunt and my mom has had quad bypass and my dad died at age 42 of heart attack....I really Don't need to smoke!

Have a great afternoon everyone else ...too :h
love

Thanks for the info Lisa. We have problems with high blood pressure and heart problems in my family. My uncle died of a massive heart attack 5 years ago when he was 48. 5 out of 6 of his heart arteries were completely blocked. He liked his smokes and beer. It is time......... at least give it a good shot anyway. I will check out quitnet.com. Congrats on your quitting smoking BTW!

Thanks for the support everybody..it feels good.
Paddy, I did eat a little tiny piece of chocolate cake...actually it was a good job. I was grateful to have it. I'm leaving with a strong portfolio and hopefully a little freelance work. The commute was the kicker..totally not worth the little pay.
Accountable..you know a lot of people have been talking about Allen Carrs book 'The Easyway to stop Drinking'..or something like that..well, his first book was The Easy Way to Stop Smoking, you may want to read that. Good Luck! What a gift to yourself!

hey ABarooos! woooo. what a big day already. everybody was slamming them down at the bar last night here at the convention...sigh, I can handle that environment for a while but having drunk people yelling booze breath in your face get's a little gross. So tired, it's been a huge day hauling equipment in the rain and then putting on the professional appearance to address huge crowds....it's stressful, but back on the forum with my shoes off...can't complain really. Gotta go back down and set up the tradeshow booth in an hour so I'm hiding for a few minutes.
Dilayne I'm so jealous...I've been wanting to go freelance for years and stop "going to work" although I really do like my work at this time, it just has a wonderful romantic appeal.
Be well everyone!!

Hi Everyone,

A quick note before sleep - I am sooo tired these days! Many congratulations Dilayne - it takes courage but what a wonderful new opportunity for you - fingers and toes crossed that you turn this into whatever you choose! Oh to have that freedom!

Fabulous job on the 38 days, Popeye, - I would just kick back and enjoy the total apathy for the moment - why rush through life now? It's time to slow down and appreciate its wonders and beauties as seen through the clarity of a sober eye and clear head as opposed to the blur, muddle and oblivion of a drunken stupor! I'm getting my deck chair out for the weekend

To everyone else, good luck with all your endeavours, keep smiling and be proud of your achievements! Talk to you all soon! :l

Awesome Popeye!!!! So proud of you. Hope everyone is doing well, most of you seem in high spirits. I am doing well, still AF, at 116 days now, I will hit 4 months this weekend. I have been contemplating going mods...I haven't decided yet. This is something Iwould have to think about long and hard before attempting, I have made it this far, and I do not want to find out once again that I cannot control myself. Luckily I am a runner, and I am in training pretty heavy right now for our next marathon...so even if I did attemp mods, it would have to be very few and very far between to ensure it didn't effect me in any way physically.

We will see, and I will let you guys know, I still have some thinking to do...

Otherwise life it going great.
