    AF New Year's Day 2014

    HAPPY NEW YEAR for 2014!
    :band2:
    Lets promise to try to remain AF and for those having a struggle, really kick AL out of our lives this year.

    We had a lovely day ? although I still had my blues ? I put on my sunscreen, even pencilled my eyebrows over and applied some mascara :H ? and we had a pleasant outdoor lunch at an old pub and then went for a lovely long walk. In the evening I made pumpkin icecream and we watched DVDs and read. I stayed up until midnight ? and amazingly slept for 8 hours!

    Pauly ? so I think I stole your sleep ? thanks for the gift! :HMaybe you should try to look after Baby Louie ? it would be nice for your daughter and although you will be tired ? I am sure you will be glad you did it.

    A balakava is a hoodie/hat/ but I think it was spelt wrong.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balaclava_(clothing)

    Mick ? welcome back mate! You are allowed to have sabbaticals ? and be pissed off ? but don?t stay away too long. And share with us if you have some critical thoughts ? we old alkies can take hard knocks! Esp from our own kind!

    Lav ? how was the party? Good to see something focused on the littlies. The usual post New Year?s AL carnage is in the papers here today. Busy night for the medics. Quite a lot of publicity here recently about AL related problems but I am not sure if it makes any diff except for the good people go ?tut tut?. What is really missing here is publicity for how to get support and stop drinking. Probably cos there is bugger all affordable support available except for those who are directed by the courts.

    That's today?s rant!

    Welcome back Patrice. Great that you enjoyed your holiday but not great that you drank again. Think again about if you really really want to stop ? and be all out. That does mean dealing with trips, holidays, no internet, boredom etc. You were doing so well before Christmas ? so I am sure you can go back to that.

    Hi there Narilly ? how was your daughter?s birthday cake? Enjoying NYE?

    How are you doing DD? Make 2014 a fantastic sober year for you.

    Hi there also Yah ? you have a lovely evening too. You too Sam ? enjoy your Friends and the party. Hope your time with the family was great SF and Det, your time with Dx. I watch a lot more movies than I used to when I was drinking ? or at least I watch them a bit differently. Remember heaps more.

    Happy New Year to all others ? I must go and telephone a close friend in the UK as its NYE there.

      Evening all, as I type it is still New Years Eve here, about half an hour to go to midnight, have had a lovely evening and know I will not drink, tonight or tomorrow. Feel confident, excited about the year ahead.

      Mick your jokes made me laugh.

      Happy New Year to all on this thread, TT you are one day ahead as always!! xx

          I'm still up! Happy New Year!

          been hitting the Chinese white tea (my kind of party) LOL and watching some comedy.

          TTops, the odd silver lining about my history of watching movies drunk means that they are 'new' again when I see them now. what a value!

          good job on the AF celebrating all so far and those to come..... catch you later today after a good snooze... be well

            right folksies orf we go have a great 1st Jan ..includinng the remainder for the upside down people..:H

            I was out drinking with my mates at a party last night, when I suddenly looked at my phone and noticed 18 missed calls from my wife.

            Is she f.cking insecure or what?

            That's an average of 6 calls a day.

            Tom Daley stated he wants to improve on his career by taking up Boxing.

            He likes it in the ring.

            For all my Scottish mates, the 1986 calendars are the ones you can now pull out and use again.

            I walked past a tramp sat in a shop doorway today and he had a sign in front of him saying, 'Haven't eaten in 4 days.'

            I thought, "Poor bastard, not only is he homeless he's anorexic as well."

            Since my wife gave birth to our first child, it's been the same routine every morning. First the crying, then a breastfeeding, followed by a nap.

            It's the only way I can cope.

            Sky News: Bosham Murder Hunt: Woman Found Dead In Home - well that's the first part of the murder hunt done, they just need to find who did it now.

            I'm planning on improving the house in the new year.

            I'm kicking the wife out.

            I walked up to the counter in McDonalds today and said, "Can I have a bucket please?"

            "This is not KFC!" replied the acne ridden cashier. />
            I said, "I know mate, but your face is making me feel sick."

            So recently India launched their probe towards the moon, several weeks after China's men landed on the moon. I wouldn't be surprised if India find rice plantations all over it.

            The wife was not best pleased when I told her my plans to book us a world cruise had fallen through due to last minute complications that were out of my hands

            It's not like I ASKED the f.cking jockey to fall off the horse

            My doctor recently diagnosed me with Internet Addiction.

            Luckily enough I've joined 46 online forums to help me overcome my problem.

            I giving my girlfriend a beautiful diamond necklace for Christmas. I'm sure she will love it.
            The wife did when I gave to her, for her birthday a few months ago.

            Random Joke
            I went into a whore-house and the receptionist said, "Alright George, the usual?
            I said, "Not today Betty. I'm working"
            She said, "Right you are, officer".

            I'm a scientist stationed in the Arctic and several times a day, I've been chatting online with with a female colleague working in the Antarctic.

            Though we're poles apart, there is a certain magnetism between us.

            I was desperate for the toilet on the motorway. My missus, who was driving, refused to pull over and handed me an empty coke bottle.

            She regrets it now, a 500ml bottle just isn't big enough for a poo.

            Sky news - 'Missing man found dead in rubbish crusher'

            Considering it killed him, I wouldn't call it rubbish.

                AF New Year's Day 2014

                Good morning Abbers & Happy 2014!!!!!!!!

                Never got to bed until nearly 2 am after yesterday's 'excitement' :H :H
                Can't remember the last time I stayed up that late

                TT, I imagine you'll be starting tomorrow's thread soon. I hope you had a wonderful day.
                My son is working today, I imagine he's going to be busy dealing with the aftermath of the holiday in the big city

                Greetings & Happy New Year Wishes to DD, Sunni, Det & pauly!!!!

                Mick, keep the coffee coming buddy :H
                Shoofly pie is a disgustingly sickening sweet mess made of molasses & brown sugar
                Makes your teeth feel like they want to fall out of your head - yuck!
                Here's some Amish Mafia news that might interest you:
                Man admits to beating ‘Amish Mafia’ star  - NY Daily News
                Seriously pathetic, IMHO!

                Well, today I will pack up the rest of Christmas, most of it is already done. I will be fixing the traditional pork & sauerkraut 'good luck' dinner for anyone dropping by. Then I need to make some preparations for the snow storm due here tomorrow - oh joy!!

                I'll check in later. Have a great AF Jan 1 everyone!

                    Happy New Year's to all my abster friends far and wide. Great AF new year here. Saw American Hustle with a girlfriend, and when it was over, it was 2014. Great movie.

                    Love to all of you! Hopefully, I will check in later, but I have a few things to do before I can seriously be lazy today.

                      AF New Year's Day 2014

                      HNY ALL....

                      Been MIA the last couple of days as I've been flat on my back with the flu. Was worried I wouldn't get over it before my niece's's wedding last night but lots of AF liquid and rest helped. Actually stayed till after midnight. Haven't been awake for new years for at least 25 years. It felt good to be with family and friends.

                      Off to make a cuppa and read back through the posts to get caught up. Will check back later.....PPQP

                          Here to have a really good 2014 - I did have soem wine on my mini vacation, but did not over do it, and have obviously made new habits as I have gone straight back to AF on returning home.
                          Took down last years calendar and since Sept I have managed 105/122 AF days. Will be looking to improve that this year.
                          Happy New Year to all!
