[Waves 2]

Hi all,

Hope you are okay. Gypsi, I hope you are holding up. Keep posting your chicken soup threads; they are great and they let us know that you are around.:l
It has been hard for me since Christmas. I feel I am slipping back into my old ways. Today I have to go to a performance with colleagues from work knowing that my breath probably smells from last night's wine and that I will probably be breaking wind from the Indian meal I ordered after 3 glasses. WHY did I go back to this?

Don't feel you have to answer that. It is a rhetorical question really. Will have to Just get back on the road with Jude and MM and...
Or else "Get rode hard and put away wet" ( another Jude quote)

I think I need another kick from Tawny.

Love to all as always:groupluv:

Morning All,

Waves, don't beat yourself up love, we have all asked 'why' at some time, The important thing is that you recognise that you are slipping back, and are addressing it.

Have a good day ...........

Love & Hugs to everyone, Paula xxx :h :l :h :l

Good Morning,
Waves...have to laugh at that one--perhaps the Indian meal flatulance will outsmell the alcohol coming out of your pores....I too, see my slips on my ladder gaining on me....I am trying to set a plan in place.
All my good intentions can not be for nothing. I have an incredibly annoyingly busy weekend!
Judie--glad your okay--and that you are!
Mike, Paula, and all others have a wonderful day,
sm-mary

Good Morning Muffins,

I think it does help to recognize the pattern of our ways and then set out to change them, even in the smallest of ways, permanently.

I know I will not have alcohol in the house during the week anymore.......that was one of my permanent changes that seems to be working and I'm not going to look back.

Now, I must work on not getting drink, every time I drink

Gypsi, I'm thinking of you:l

A little foggy this morning from last night:hitme: Now, it's a new day. Let's get on with it!!

Have a great Saturday:l

Love you too, Rachele. Everybody seems to be chaning avatars. I need to be cogitating on finding something that captures my essence. Looks like folks had a roaring time on Friday night. Actually, I exceeded my limit, too. It's funny. I don't feel compelled to drink after dinner, but if I've started drinking red wine before, I fall asleep in front of the tv during whatever is on at 9 o'clock (pathetic, isn't it?), and then I wake up with a headache. Still, I have to remember where I was last year, and I have to keep in mind the constancy of my aspirations.

My son is a musician, and when he was younger, we used to go to a lot of his gigs. Now, people tell me about reading about his band in the paper, and I haven't even noticed. At least that helps me stay away from bars. However. Last fall, I did go to an afternoon show when I was doing my 30 days, and I had a whole new experience watching how people got drunker and drunker, what happened to their faces and their voices, and it was quite enlightening. I almost wish everyone could have that experience. Or maybe we could ask someone to videotape us when we are drunk.

Have a happy weekend. Hope no one is snowed in. Glad you're feeling better Judie. I like the idea of collecting Judie quotes.

Hello to all the muffins!

We sound like we are all headed out west to the OK Corral! I too am brushing off the dust, saddling up and have my feet in the stirrups ready to hit the trail again. Actually, last night I was good but, not so good on Thursday night. Today I have not one but, two kids birthday parties to got to today and I have my three kids and my friend's daughter in tow. Hubby, of course, left skid marks making a run for it this morning. He is out fishing with the guys. So, this cowgirl is going to giddy up and get going. I'll check in with you guys later!!

You really do need a sense of humor to get through this don't you......

Waves, it is offensive to you that I laughed until my sides hurt at your gastrointestinal issues? Sorry if it is. I needed a good laugh this morning. And SM is right; I am sure the flatulence will overpower the fumes coming off your skin. Seriously, I know you are trying to find your mods path and I hope you will get it down pat. You have it in you to do it. You proved that in October.

Sounds like everyone else is doing well. You all sound much too busy and I am thankful I have nothing going on this weekend so I can finally get around to reading Allen Carr's book. And sleeping more to get rid of this icky cold.

Have a great weekend all!!!

Good morning/afternnon actually!!! Wow!!! I don't think I had any idea how totally physically exausted i was until I woke up this morning after a decent night's sleep. I feel like a new person today. This past week has been unususally stressful, and I drank too much/ slept like crap, and I think that, plus just all the emotions rolling around had taken its toll, and I was just more tired yesterday than I can remember. But here is the good news. Life is better. My niece, who had surgery this week, is out of the hopital today...yea!!! Things in my little home world are better, and I slept well and feel rested, which gives me a whole new perspective on the day.

SO....it is a beautiful day here in Florida. Sunny and in the 70's (sorry to all of you in bad weather), and my family and I are going to spend a nice day at an art fair. My son wants to cut his hair, both kids brought home awesome report cards this week....life is good.

I just want to thank all of you that have been so unbelievable this week. What a supportive group of people here. Amazing. I am in so much of a better place.:thanks:

Love you guys.:h :h :

I hope you are all having a good weekend...

Hey everybody, not sure if I'm doing this right with this new format... Guess we'll see.A book of Judie quotes huh? Now that's a scarey thought! I hear my Hubby now, "DON"T GET HER STARTED!"Gonna try & post this before I add any more. Good day all! Love ya! Judie

Well that was weird. I had a whole different screen on my computer for a few minutes there... oh well, back to normal now.
I like this better.

It figures... we'll probably be changing formats again, now I've almost got this one 1/2 way figured out:new: !

Hope everyone's having a great Saturday. I'm feeling much better. Got home from work last night, and Hubby was out in the garage having a smoke. I went out to say hi, and he was acting kinda funny, and chuckled & said, "I pulled a Judie, and drank my dinner". Not sure if he was de-stressing or payback... . He acted embarrassed, but that's ok. He's allowed too.

Hi everyone - Late check in but now is better than never, right?

PP – Retail therapy is a wonderful thing. I hope it helped yesterday.

Fan – You are just one creative little bugger aren’t you? Excellent story, great message. Lushy woo hoo?

Lori – Good luck with tests results.

Waves, you kill me with the Indian food. Sadly though, you are probably correct!!! That stuff does wicked things to me!

Sophia – Thanks for the reminder about last year. I’m not where I want to be but I am in a far better spot than I was last year. Rome wasn’t built in a day!

Beth – So good to see you feeling so great! It makes a world of difference, doesn’t it? Enjoy the day!

Lush – Get better damn it.

Judie – Glad you are back!
