Morning All,

Just wanted to let you know that i'm going for an AF january, We have no alcohol in the house and I won't be buying any ....... I didn't moderate last night, did exactly the opposite and can't remember coming home or going to bed .....

The strange thing is though, i'm hungover and feeling really rough but at the same time I feel quite high on life because i'm looking forward to not drinking tonight and not feeling like this tomorrow morning....

Sorry for rambling and it probably doesn't make any sense to you all .....

Have a good day everyone ....

Love & Hugs, Paula xx :h :l :h

Resolutions

Hi, Thanks to all who gave me such encouragement the other day. It sounds like quite a few of us got through Christmas okay only to slip between then and New Year. I hope you are all feeling better.

In January I want to beat December's score of 10 AF and 11 mods days. I certainly don't intend to have another ?? day.

It's Kanga day. Fond memories.

Love and best wishes for a happy new year to all of you.

Good morning everyone and Happy New Year! Hope everyone is ok today.

I too am going to try AF for January - at least until 1/27 (I have a big event then and I know I will have a wine!) But that is my goal. No trips to the wine store this month!

Kanga Day. :h

Lots of love and good wishes for everyone and their families!

Paula - You make perfect sense. Last summer a "friend" dropped me off and encouraged me to scoot my behind up the steps to my condo. Apparently, this was the only was the only way for me to make it in the door.I do not remember getting up to bed. I DO remember being at bar with man who had french accent ranting about "dipshit highway." That is my street - I think I live off dipshit highway.

The next day she said, you gotta let loose sometime honey. Apparently this is problem solving behavior regarding stress (which is why she knows so many judges?). When I cut down on the vino she told me to call her when I was drinking again. LOL. Even though I still slip, she thinks I've not had drink since last August!!!

Waves - Thanks for reminder of Kanga Day. I will do something special for someone today. Between Christmas and New Year were definite slip times Waves. This January is approached with new resolve for me. I have ordered Alan Carr book off Amazon. Sounds like your December score was pretty good though!

Anyway, just popping in on mods. I always read here and know lots of the folks here. I love abs, but sometimes we are small bunch. I want Lushy to give me 100th place and crown of napkins.

Happy New Year and I hope we all move forward in ALL our goals, drinking and otherwise,
Pansy

Hawk, we must have posted at same time - best wishes to you on New Year as well!! Would you know - in Meechigan, we can buy wine and liquor at the Grocery store, drug store, and even a DRIVE through party store back in my college town. For my first weeks of abs I develop fear of food shopping. I am hoping you do NOT have this challenge?
Hugs,
Pans

Good Morning All! Yes, lots of slips...Paula--I like your plan.
I did pretty good last night...we stayed in, watched some movies with the kids, I was drinking wine (of course)...and it hit me---I have all the tools---I have the armor--(the supps, the topa, my friends here) I even have Alan Carr's book that I have wrapped in a pretty book jacket that I have taken to the pool last summer but never finished reading!! I have all the weapons that I need--I'm ready for this battle! I am determined! So---I will make my attempt at AF for at least tonight..and then maybe tomorrow, and then another night...this just might work..
Pansy--thanks for popping over! Paula--feel better--love you!
Hawk--I love that you're determined to go the whole month--is hubby doing it too? (see, that's a prob for me!...I don't think he will...)
Waves--sounds like your record in Dec. is something to be proud of actually!
Happy Kanga Day!!! I'll do something nice for someone too--I like that!
Happy Wonderful 2007!! sm-mary

I am polluted, I am exhausted, I am hungover again, and I am sick of it. I did not want to go out last night, I was exhausted but had to stay up to go downtown so I pounded wine to ramp me up. Backfired on me this morning. I have all of the tools I need as well and I will start using them. Like you Paula, I am hungover but I am excited about my future because I know I will not feel like this again.

Happy New Year my friends!!! Here is to good things for all of us..........

P.S. Pans, I ironically laughed out loud about you having to scoot yourself into your house. Why do we do such dumb things, all in the name of having so-called fun? No more. Not worth it.

AF January

Hi PaulaW
I am with you for a AF January.
T know how you are feeling today,but don't be to hard on yourself
I was feeling exactly like that (again) last Thursday.
It was horrible I woke at 3.00am on a chair in a cold dark lounge, my husband had gone to bed and left me there and I could not remember most of the night before. I swore to myself that was it.
I have not had a drink since and feel better every day.
Look forward to supporting you through January.
Best wishes
Changeling
