Hello all you Booze Bustin Buds!
Well, how’s it going today?
We had a tee off time booked for today, (surprise surprise!
although they were forecasting storms for later in the afternoon. We weren’t sure we would get a whole 18 holes golfed, but figured most of the round, anyhow…..NOT! We were standing at the tee off just waiting for the group ahead of us to get far enough down the fairway, and eyeing the clouds, and wondering if we were about to get rained on…..and my hubby said “Holly ____, get your rain jacket out NOW!” And I looked down the fairway, and I swear we could see it coming, like a wall of water. Wow. Thank goodness he noticed. I did have my rain jacket mostly on before it hit, and we went scrambling for our truck. We sat in it and watched the rain and hail, and realized we wouldn’t be golfing today! And felt like little kids whose candy has been taken away. Wahhhhhh!!!!! We were pumped for it, and didn’t get it, and then felt like we needed – something!!!!! And unfortunately that felt like a drink. We drove around aimlessly for a while, then picked up some steaks and fixings, came home, and sat on the balcony (rain over by now) and drank an AF beer……..but still feeling kind of restless, but lazy at the same time. Hubby said to me, this is bad, but I feel like being bad…..and I misinterpreted it, and said, Yeah, I’d better go take something, because I am sure craving a drink right now – Oh, he said, yeah, that too, but mainly I don’t feel like BBQing steaks – and I said, Well, we don’t have to have them tonight, what do you feel like having? He said – taco chips????? So here we are, had a bowl of taco chips for supper (along with a stick of cheese – hey, gotta have some protein, right?) and now working on a glass of AF red wine. Pamina, tomorrow I may find out what it feels like to have an AF hangover, just like you!
But – Al didn’t get me after all. So what if my arteries are slamming shut even as I type.
Joy (1967) – Good for you! So proud of you, gal! You have won that round with Al , and don’t it feel great???!!!!! And sure I remember Jefferson Airplane! Love(d) their music, grew up with it. Don’t recognize Ambrosia, but I am sure I would recognize a tune if played.
Kaddy! 120 days!!!!! You are stepping into old timer country - how does it feel to be an old gyser? (Kidding!) Good for you!!!!
Louise – Your mango salsa sounds delish. What did you serve it with?
Sothankful – It’s a process, don’t give up on yourself. Many people who are on these boards sober now went through what you are going through. Just keep on trying, NEVER give up.
Sheep – I will second DG’s high recommendation of Curves. I’ve been a member for 2 ½ years, and hope to be one of those 75 year olds you see in there, still exercising to the beat!!!! I tend to be about ten pounds less sober than when drinking – just one of the perks of abstinence! And yup, exercise is great for beating down those cravings too.
Greenie! I’m gonna have to visit subscribers to see how you made out at Lenair, (just don’t seem to have the time to get all around the boards these days) but sounds like just great! Three weeks! Awesome!!!
Pamina, laughing at your description of an AF hangover! If that’s possible, still much preferable to the real thing, No? I’ve never had more than one AF beer in a row, I don’t think…interesting….guess there is a teensy bit of Al in it, but you would think if would be drowned out by all those carbs. I have noticed it still relaxes me if I haven’t eaten beforehand, so maybe our bodies still react even to that teensy little bit of Al?
DG – So cool that you are shrinking to the point that new clothes don’t fit!!!! I am a big Land’s End fan too, love their sleeveless tee – not quite a tank top, but cool. I am missing my Curves this week too, just because hubby is keeping me busy golfing and I don’t have the energy to do BOTH, believe me! But am looking forward to a normal Monday morning, and my appointment – I think! Awesome you are on day 45 – you rock!
Well, looking out the window, and it’s fixing to storm again – but have to admit that we had awesome weather this past week, so can’t complain. Gelgit, I wish we could send this your way. How are you doing with the fires?
Well, hope you all have a great Saturday evening, all!
