    Wednesday, 20 June

    I thought I might kick off the thread for today, although the day is almost over...

    Another day without drinking, but another friendship ruined by my possessive, schitzoid behaviour. She is leaving to go OS soon anyway.... I will try and make up with her at her farewell bash.... sigh....

    Still not getting through my work..because of too many things on my mind... I am burnt out and tired.

    Tomorrow night I have to go to a work function. Last year at the same function I got totally plastered and sent texts to all my friends at 2.00am in the morning telling them how I was thinking about entering some triathlons and asking if they would train with me.... Never happened....lol....

    Tomorrow will be different. Already got my "no drink for me thanks" excuses planned. I cant say I have to drive because they are putting me up in the hotel.

    I hope everyone had a good day... I am out of the office till Monday which is about the best news I can have right now...

        Good luck at the works function..i found that when i go to those functions and dont drink its hilarious..watching others!!!Cant help it i,m a people watcher.

        At least you will be able to join in and follow the conversation and manage to still look ok at the end of the night!!when you go home at the end of the night its a great feeling noing there will be no guilt, shame or hangover.

        Good luck and enjot the function..cassy

          MORNING All!

          Ugh-got lousy news last night. Phoney sister-in-law called last night to say they are planning a birthday get together this Saturday evening for her son. Great. Not prepared for this. First his birthday was weeks ago & I figured either they aren't having it or if it was postponed & we would be given ample notification (I usually like my week so I can mentally prepare since they are such a group of the biggest phonies that are my biggest trigger). Second they always have it in the daytime so the drinking is minimal. Now it's in the evening. Oh well-am sticking to my guns. Tomorrow I will be 6 months. No point in throwing that out the window! They are definately not worth it.

          My daughter's last day of school. Out for vacation. I found out yesterday from my friend that the job I applied for got approved by the mayor. The people from that dept. called my friend to tell her to tell me that it will probably take another 2 weeks for it to go thru the proper channels & not look for another job. See how weird these people are? They haven't even called me directly to tell me this. This job ought to be interesting.

          hello tought- I'm loving my AF this year. I'm going to functions this year where last year I either ruined or am embarrased by due to drinking too much. Stay strong & good luck. People really don't watch whether you drink or not. It is so nice coming out of these situations and being proud that you did it.

          Hi Rocky-glad to see you around here again.
          Hi Keep & cassy

          Cloudy day here. Hope everyone has a great day!

            I wish you well tomorrow, thought2much. I know you will rise to the occasion! I'm glad you have a few days off to rest. I hope that everything works out okay with your friend before she leaves.

            Hi Rocky and Keepon!! I hope that you both are well.

            I'm off to a conference tonight that goes through Friday evening. I don't know that there will be a lot of drinking in the evening, but I am going to take an Antabuse, just in case my trickly little drinking self starts whispering the siren song to me. The two women I am going with are by no means drinkers, but in the event that they should want to have a drink, I will have my hypno cd's and a good book with me, or just go and have a diet coke! I have a whole arsenal of tools that I haven't always used in the past.

            At any rate, I don't know what kind of internet access there will be, so if you don't hear from me for a few days, don't worry that I'm on a bender!:H I'll sign on if I am able!


            Hugs to all!:l

              hello another evening post for me.
              have 2 friends coming over who are big triggers to me for drinking and smoking tonight.
              I will stick to my guns though, I have to, and want to do this for me.
              wish me luck! I'm dragging myself to gym for a run tonight first as I didn't go yesterday, I know I'll feel better for going and be less likely to drink/smoke so it's worth it!
              good night everyone x
              one day at a time

                  I've been wondering about you Determinator, thought you may have fallen into your own pot of porridge never to be heard from again! Glad to have you back. We need you to keep the balance of estrogen/testosterone in the chat room a little more even. LOL

                    Thought & Bear, I haven't been socialising much, as I get my mind used to not drinking, so I don't have many words of advice.

                    With time I am starting to realise that friends really should be happy that you're abstaining. Collegues shouldn't really care, and others... well, what business is it of theirs? If they think you're a kill joy for not boozing up wit them - let them... but I bet you anything, the people who are problem drinkers will be wishing they were joining you.

                    Kathy, good luck tonight and have fun - abs style!

                    and Breez... 6 months tomorrow!!!

                      Sit back Honey and watch all the other's get plastered and make fools of themselves. It will be a scream! then you sashay off to bed with dignity and buttons intact and wake up feeling sweet.
                      Doesn't get any better than that!
