    Monday 16th – 1 month and 2 days Mods

    Hello all Fellow MWOers,


    I know this should be in My story section but that is for another time right now I want to talk about Moderating ? I started on this site on the 14th March after a night of you know what ? not feeling well and very drunk ? yes still drunk!!!!!

    I firstly wanted to do the AF thing but as time went on I noticed that I could Mod ? maybe not the best thing for me but time will tell. The Mods thing has been great ? I have cut down from going over board everyday to only having a glass of White wine now and then ? yes yes ? if you look at the tracked this week-end it has been 3 days on the trot but you will also see that I have not had more that 3 drinks and believe me if you knew me a month ago you would be impressed ? I am!

    I count my drinks and I mix them with Soda ? so I have been having White wine spritzers ? so out of one glass of wine I get 3 drinks and that is why the most I am having is 3 ? ( I once read a post from someone that also measured the wine and soda) just to tell that person THANK YOU for the idea ? cant remember who though ? read it in my early days.

    I am going to now work at cutting down on that as well ? so I will again post here in 1 Month and this will be my goal - maybe one day I will be posting on the AF section and that is my main goal ? small steps big achievements.

    Thank you all again ? I am always thanking you for where I am because with out this site and the program I don?t know where I would be ? yes I do I would be in a fuzzy mind, with a hangover and bad breath ? which would be the least of my worries as my whiskey drinking destroyed so much more than just my fresh mint breath.

    I wonder if RJ can add another colour to the drink Tracker - like a RED for overdoing it - I have had a more that 15 in my early days and believe me that was not mods!

    Well 1 month and 2 days Mods - much better than 1 month and 2 days MUGGS.
    Though no one can go back and make a brand-new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand-new ending

    Good morning everyone!

    Kimmy what a great story and very motivational. It feels so good to be on track and getting everything in order. I am also doing much better but there is always room for improvement so like you I will work on that.

    The storm that was supposed to come last night is here this morning. It's snowing like crazy. Snow day for the kids.

    Hope you all have a nice Monday.

        Good morning everybody. Great job Kimmy! Goals are so important in this process. Keep up the good work!

        Beaches, I feel for you with the snow. We don't have snow today here in the Nation's Capital (just a few hours away from you), but it is cold and windy -- almost like the beginning of March! Not springy like April! -- where is spring??????????? I bet the Global Warming advocates are having a field day with this stuff! I watched Day After Tomorrow again a few nights ago, and its kind of scary to see this going on!

        Hope everybody has a great day.

            Welcome back Lushy! We missed you!!!! I am so happy to hear that you did well throughout your vacation. Way to Go Mods!!

            Kimmy, thank you for sharing, good for you on your mods program. You can do this!!

            Beaches, snowing WOW! I heard it was bad out that way. I have a NY SIL get stuck in CA because of weather.

            Tired of crying, Like your new name. What a positive statement to make! Thanks.

            MM, global warming, I believe it. (we had snow on Friday morning and fog on Saturday morning, then shirt sleeve BBQ weather yesterday.) hope things are calming down for you.

            Mar, what a great idea on the sprite and wine if you are big wine drinker.

            Hilary thanks for the PM, please do feel free to come an post on mods. We love you over here!!

            BB, Kerrie goes in today for more tests? All of you are in our thoughts and prayers.

            ________________________

            Had a dinner out on Friday evening with girlfriends, drank part of a Mango Margarita, it was so sweet I could not get through all of it. Then was up with that sugar rush for hours! Didn't have dessert so it had to be the drink. Went out on Saturday and had a regular margarita and actually worked out where I was the last at the table to finish my drink. Yesterday afternoon, I took a kudzu which I hadn't done in a couple months, went to an art opening and skipped the wine, had a 50th birthday party for my husband last night, was being such the hostess and running between the appetizer table and out door with the BBQ that I forgot to drink. (How weird is that?!! had to be the kudzu b/c I didn't want any after everyone left.)

            OK, so two parties down and one more biggie to go next week, then I have a couple weeks break in there before my youngest turns 21 . . . Am I THAT old??!!!

            Hugs and Love to all of you and those to come,
            Mary

              Hi,
              Glad to hear many of you are doing well. I am feeling a little out of control right now. Not big, I didn?t get crazy drunk or even too hung over last week, but I seem to have a bad pattern of over drinking when I?m not as busy as usual. I worry about this because I can?t live my life going 100% all the time. Working, volunteering in school, PTA Board, Baseball with 2 boys, yada, yada, yada. But it seems when I do have extra time like last week, during Spring Break, I over do it. I did this over Christmas break and the time I took off for my birthday. As I reflect today about last week, I could see by the end of the week, I was drinking too much and becoming more and more inaccessible to my husband and children. I was actually glad the opening day of baseball was rained out and I would not have to spend the day doing that. Now I have to deal with the guilt associated with those feelings. I?m not asking for a pity party here, I?m trying to get my mind around why this continues to happen. I read the posts about how well some of you are doing and I know I will be fine, but I?m concerned about the summer break and the trip to Mexico I have planned with the family. I need to stop this cycle and it feels out of my ability to do it.

              All comments and thoughts on this are appreciated.

              Love ya,
              Laura

                Laura dear, I am sorry you are feeling out of control. I am sure you are doing tons better than when you came to MWO>

                have you ever listened to the CD's? I do not remember if you have. those were the big turning point in my thinking. Once my thought process filtered the "need" to drink to excess, I just didn't need to. Now if I have more than one drink even if it is just wine, I do not feel as "clean" in my body or head the next day. I am still getting "off" on feeling great in the morning and all day for that matter.

                Another thought is the exercise, are you taking time for walks and the gym when you have extra time off? That may help too. Keeps your focus on your health!

                I know you can do this!

                Hugs and Love,
                Mary

                  Mary, I have been slacking off with the CD's and I know they work. I have a hard time scheduling them in. I used to put them on at bedtime and fall asleep. One of the them, I think it's the clearing one makes me itch.

                  As to the exercise, I just joined a new gym about 3 blocks from my house to help motivate me there. I am pretty happy about that.

                  I am still doing all my supps and vitamins.

                  When I read about you passing up the wine or only having 1 glass, I remember being there and how happy I was with myself. At the momment, I'm having trouble seeing myself there again.

                  Thank you for the encouragement, talking this out will help me a lot.

                  Laura

                      Hi all

                      Thanks for all the good wishes and well dones - I really feel great - but still a newbie the rush of finding this site and all of you has help tremendously - but still along way from where I want to be.

                      I have joined the 30 dayers and let see if I can do the AF thing if I can do that then I am on my way but until I can go 30 days without I am kidding myself.

                      So wish me luck.
