Hi abbers!! I know I've been crazy busy lately and it sure seems like everyone must be - seems like less traffic than normal here in ab land. (or maybe my imagination!)
4tbz, there is also talk of yoga in the Abbercise thread today, and you guys are all motivating me to see if there is a class at the local Jr. College that I could check out. I've never tried it, and always thought I would be too stiff / uncoordinated / etc. but it sounds like that is a myth. Arming myself with some new and far better ways to relax would be a good thing. Hmmm.....
Doglvr, I'm with you on that AF forever goal. I try not to ponder too much on what "FOREVER" means, but I try very hard to push any drinking fantasies RIGHT out of my head. I try to just keep my sights on the near and slightly longer term future with NO Al in it. I read that back and it doesn't seem to make sense, but I can't figure out HOW to make it make sense. So maybe I'm just full of BS today!!!
At least you were able to stop at 1 on Sunday. Much better than what my hard falls have been like over the last year.
(side note - I always have to chuckle at the word "slip" which is probably an accurate description of an AF person having one glass of wine. I never do anything in moderation it seems - at least not AL - and "slip" doesn't come anywhere close to describing my disasters with AL!!! "Slip" to me would be like totalling your car and calling it a "fender bender")
Deter, LOL on the food thing. A couple weeks ago in the grocery store I noticed they are now selling hard boiled eggs. How lazy are we in the kitchen when we can't even hard boil our own eggs any more??????? I know it's sad though when people check out with literally NO fresh food on the conveyer belt - just pre-packaged processed boxes and bags. I'm grateful to be sober and paying closer attention these days to quality meals for me and Mr. Doggy. During the hard drinking days, my own choices sucked.
Well, I'm off to see what the days news is on
2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing | Athlete, Team Profiles, Olympics News | Free Photos & Videos | NBC Olympics!!! Hello to all abbers yet to come.
