    Monday January 8

    Good morning all!

    Hope the weekend treated you all well. I went three days AF at the beginning of the week then drank and then got back on track for the most part. Went to a wedding on Saturday and only had two very small glasses of white wine. Since the slip on Wed night I have not woken up feeling bad once. It's a wonderful feeling.
    Hope you all have a great day!

      Hey everyone
      I white-knuckled it through this weekend. I was determined to have a weekend AF and I did it. It wasent easy though - I have to admit. I drank nothing at all and I I was bored. How sad is that? I was actually kind of relieved it was time to come back to work, to relieve the boredom.
      Sigh.
      I love you all though
      Love Jen

        Good morning all!
        What a wonderful job!! I did a good job moderating! Still trying to commit to AF--but my mod plan is finding me bright eyed and ready to go in the morning---that's a great feeling.
        Late to work.
        Love you all--

            Morning everyone!!! I applaud anyone who can get through a weekend AF. I am sorry you were so bored Jen but I totally understand it. I did an okay job moderating, and like SM have been waking up feeling fine. I need to continue to do some days in the week AF so I will do that this week. As long as it is not an every night thing anymore that is a HUGE thing for me.

            I wish you all a Happy Monday!!!!

              I was thinking - perhaps - of allowing myself maybe one drink per night on the weekend. But, what helped me most was realizing that one drink or two - in the mood i was in on the weekend - wouldn't have "cut it". Does anyone understand that mood? I was thinking, what would be the harm in one beer? Then I thought, "Jen, are you going to be any happier or any less bored with one beer?" and then I realized, "no". I wouldn't! One beer was not going to entertain me, etc. I was looking to get at least a really good buzz going... It was the weekend and I wanted to drink, damnit! That was how I felt...Sigh. So instead, realizing that one drink would just leave me frustrated and wanting more, I just didnt have any.
              Sigh.
              Now that we are back to the weeks, I already feel a weight lifted. It's so much easier during the weeks for me. The weekends are definitely still my "triggers".
              Love all

                Morning everyone!

                Grea Job, NP, Jenneh, Hawk and Mary! Go! Go! Go!

                Daisy that is a good attitude, Try an AF today, I know you can do this!

                I had a margarita on Saturday evening when we went out with another couple. That was nice and relaxing. Any more though I don't think I would felt that great, don't know if it is the tequila or the lime juice but those give me heartburn if I have more than one. Got the tree down yesterday and started in on rearranging closets. We now have 3 leaks in our roof, flat roof and 16 inches of snow - not a good combo. Hubby off checking flat roofed rentals today - oh yeah can't wait to hear how they all did!

                Absolutely climbing the walls like you Jenneh as I had a cigarette habit of 3-5 a day only at home and only in the evening. Well, that evening thing - there is not enough of that nicorette gum in the world to take the place of that one cigarette after dinner. I am day 8 on not smoking and feel good about that. I had to tackle mods first though as the last time I tried about a year and half ago, I pulled my chair up to the liquor cabinet when I wanted to have that cigarette.

                Happy Monday to all!

                    I actually do need to update my passport! Thanks for the reminder!

                    I drank a little more than I had planned to this weekend. They are a big trigger for me as well. I will not have another drink until Friday night when I go to a dinner party. Tomorrow I have 2 big meetings that I have to "shine". One is with a man who runs 5 HMO's that I deal with so he has to be dazzled tomorrow.

                    Hope everyone has a great day!!

                            PP is right, it will look better tomorrow. Care to share with us Mike - you are always here for us you know, we would like to return the favor as I think you are the kind of guy who doesn't ever really ask for help.

                              It's true, Mike. Even if all we can do is listen, we are here to do that for you. Please feel free to share, if you want to.
                              HUGE hug!
