Hi Saint Jude, Good for you I hope you really enjoy your beers, I am going to have some beers tommorrow as I am having some friends over for a bbq so I am looking forward to that, so far this site has taught me to limit and slow down on my drinking, although I still have a long way to go but I am getting there slowly. Keep enjoying yourself love ronnie x

Well I don't usually venture here because I can't mod, it's overdo or AF. And let's just say I'm not AF

But hey I think you modders are great and I wish I could be one of you. Cheers to you!

Judie...

Have you had a stroke???:H
You have been visiting the long term Modders, haven't you?
There's lots of posting and support!!
But please recruit!!
There are more Modders (Like Tawny) that hang out on other threads that we would like have come and visit more often...
:welcome:
When the other Modders are on the other threads, they don't really talk about it.
I think it would be amazing if the number was revealed;
the number of Modders on the WHOLE MWO site!
Which, now that I think about it, is what you are saying..(Doh!)
There are probably 5 or 10 out there for every ONE Modder posting and supporting it as a lifestyle right now...
Bring 'em home, Jude!

(Maybe some don't KNOW they are Modders}

It's like it's taboo, to admit that we're not AF.

Well, that's not why I came to these boards. I came here for support, and to find a way I can live, with a Hubby who also drinks... and find a way I can moderate.
I tried re-hab. I tried AF and white knuckling it, sitting next to Hubby, while he popped open a cold one right next to me,...(That worked for about 2 weeks after a 21 day inpatient re-hab program)

I guess what I'm saying is... for me, MWO has really been just that.
With a lot of vigilance, L-Glut, Topa (low dose), lots of exercise...

Just my 2 cents worth...

I think it's time for us modders to support one another. I know there's a lot more out there, that don't speak up much anymore...

Me to Judie as you know my job has alcohol and beer delivered by the truck load, so moderating and still being ok in my life was the only way I feel I can exist ok. I used to cry myself to sleep wondering what was wrong with me. I literally have a whole new life (far from perfect) but 99% of my issues with drinking are behind me, yes sure I do overdue it for periods but nothing like before and I am happy.

Hey KidShelleen, Saint Jude, and all,
Thanks for the invite! Here I am, replying to the invitation to join the forum.... I am really learning how to moderate, and enjoying having this venue for support. In the past, my wine consumption was going from one 750 ml bottle two or three times a week to twice that much. But due to the help and support of you all, I've been able to limit it to two glasses, with out craving more. A small step in the right direction. Today being Friday, I'm planning on relaxing with my sweetheart, and a glass or two. Good luck, everybody, and I'm so glad to be here!

Jude, Hi there... just stopped by to show my support for you. This is a site for each of us to find out what works for each of us. I would join you in a beer if I could stop at just a few...I CAN'T.... but I AM SO GLAD THAT YOU CAN !!!! I wish only the best of EVERYTHING to you my friend...

Thanks everyone for the great replies.

A big part of my reason for posting this thread, was not only for myself...
but for newcomers who might be interested in modding...

We used to have a very active daily thread here,...

I remember when we didn't have a Mods or Abs board,...I know it was something RJ wondered about,... & questioned creating,... she's such a visionary,...(LOVE you RJ!! you're still the bestest! Salmon dinner is still ready when you are!)

Anyway, it's ALL good.:h

Hope ALL are well & having a great spring.

Peace, Hugs, & Growth...

Yep, Sammys, like you, my job pretty much is quite involved with serving & selling alcohol...

I get a shift drink @ the end of my shift... ( I don't always indulge, but it's kind of a social thing too. sometimes I just do a diet soda)

Also, people tend to tip a percentage of their dinner ticket, so if I serve more drinks & or wine,... it adds up the ticket...I'm a "sales girl" besides being a charmer/comedian..LOL:H

Ya gotta do what ya gotta do...

PS... No Kid I've not had a stroke... And thankfully I've been seizure free for 8 years, thanks to the right medication.
