[Popeye]

Well, it's Monday again.
One more week of work, and then I've got a week off.
I'm going to Ravenscar in North Yorkshire for a couple of days, which I'm looking forward to, (except for the fact that I'll not be able to get here.) then I'll go see my dad.

I hope everyone has a great week.

I hope you both have a great week too!

We're having a BBQ later tonight, just the 3 of us, so it'll be good to have our first tee-totalling BBQ without friends. Kind of like getting used to doing all these different things as a non-drinker and without the tempting influences of friends drinking.

We have some new neighbours who are really nice and are pretty much tee-totallers, so we're going to invite them over for a welcome BBQ soon. It'll be great to have some new AF friends to hang out with.

No Fear & Loathing

I think one of the best things about waking up Af from the night before is the lack of fear and loathing in the morning. Hey, I remember everything and I don't have to keep asking myself if I dreamt it or it really happened!

Today is day three and I feel good. I'm meeting with my Dr for a complete physical today. I am not going to ask about the Campral. I have about a two month supply left from an on-line pharmacy. I want to use that for now and see whhat happens.

I'm off for a two mile walk. I've got a beer(vodka, jagermesiter, sometimes wine, occasionally tequila) gut to lose.

I was going to start with good morning, but it's not morning for most of you. so..........................

Good Day or is it night?:H

Any way it's 8:14 am where I am and I am sure glad to be bright eyed and bushy tailed instead of hung over! I am high on sobriety and loving it!!

Just wanted to say that when we were going to the party yesterday, I was thinking about how boring I might be without drinking or how boring the party may seem to me. You know what, I was more good company than I have EVER been drunk. I got to spend some quality time with my kids (which I would have only tried to appease in the past) I actually enjoyed the party MORE because I was making sense and not trying to artificially create conversation or mood inappropriately.
Popey, let the count down begin to vacation!

Skendall, I don't know you well, but have enjoyed your posts though out my stay here at MWO.

Scooby Doo, I love you!:l

Good Luck with your test today Mum Bella, sending you cyber hugs:huggy

Congratulations Bear! I'm very jealous about your spa day..... I want one!

Maryt, come back and tell us when you can.....you can boohoo all over my sleeve if you want:l

AZ, we were posting at the same time. Congratulations on day three! It does feel great doesn't it. Enjoy you your walk!

Have a wonderful AF day everyone!

Oh, that old fear and loathing!

you exactly describe my waking state this morning. So, this is Day 1 for me. I've said this so often before, please god I do it this time. I start a fantastic new job on Monday 18th, my short term goal is not to drink for one month, so I join new people as a non-drinker. Wish me luck, as I wish all of you. xx:new: DAY 1

Morning All!

It's my son's last day of Nursery School. Waaah-my baby's growing up. I'm so happy that I was AF for half his school year. For my daughter's (3 years ago) I was half on, half off trying to quit-so I missed out on a lot. One of the many things I regret. But that's all different now. They are just another one of my motivators to stay AF.

Mary & Pop-don't work too hard.

Hi SK & Qscent

Good luck on your test Bella. I'm sure everything will be fine.

Hey Scoobs-I think you're on your way. I absolutely love your new attitude. Keep up the good work.

bear-congrats on your 3 days & I'm jealous about your spa day.

Az-enjoy your walk.

eye-welcome & no more of that "please god I do it this time". More like- "yes God, I CAN & Will do it this time". It's the mindset that's most important. Never give up. Make sure you read the book (if you haven't), take the supps and/or meds, the cd's and read & post. It all helps.
Congrats on your new job.

Have a lovely AF day everyone. Going to make my little graduating boy some home made meatballs. Attached files [img]/converted_files/262805=1093-attachment.gif[/img]

Good day!

I like life in abs land with all of you. This is where I belong- a bottle of vino a night was mods for me.

Not counting days but have few under my belt. Counting days was a PIA to me and left me obsessing about it. I need my mind to be on other things. Distraction from counting the days seems to help.

Happy Monday all. May it be the start of a good healthy week for all.

Last nite I drank for the first time in 30 plus days. Posted about it elsewhere. Don't feel guilty, just feel a renewed desire not to drink that much, for a long time. Wasn't fun, tasted bad and feel bad today......

AF day 1
