Default Daily Thread???

Hi there, just wondered whether there was a daily thread here on Mods???? I've been posting for some time on Monthly Abs but since I'm now moderating after 120 days AF, I'm not so sure I belong there anymore - but I really do need my daily MWO fix!! Anyone interested??

Hey Janice: I check Mods most every day, but don't always post, but I think it would be great to keep a conversation going here. It's one of the things I felt was missing when I started mods, so I too posted on ABS but just didn't mention any challenges w/ modding - which sort of misses the point of finding support, right?

I stopped Topo about two weeks ago; it really helped me the first 6 months but when I was on vacation I missed a lot of doses, so decided to taper off and see how I did without it. So far I noticed that one night I drank a glass of wine really fast (my old habit) so have got to consciously slow that down. Am doing well with staying at 2 drinks/night; My task this month is to get back to only 3 drinking nights/week (I've had a few 4's). But overall am very very happy and see these goals as "minor adjustments" to what is now a successful mods program.

How about you?

AFH

Hi Ask, thats really encouraging to read!! Yeh, I've tried mods before but I had so much going on personally that it really didn't work and I was soon back to old habits. Now "things" are calming down a little and I'm not as stressed. I decided to start drinking again with champagne on my son's graduation day in June!! It was the happiest day I've had in a long time and I certainly didn't regret it. I've been very careful, drinking weekends and then only a couple of beers or 2-3 glasses of wine.
This time feels different but I don't want to get complacent. Thats why I really want to stay close to MWO. Looking forward to following your progress........

best wishes,

Janicexxx

I will join you
I went 33 days AF, then one glass of wine and am now at day 39 hangover free. My plan is to only drink socially if I am out and about. Never at home "just because". I used to drink because it was Monday, Tuesday, my favorite show was on, etc. The excuses to drink were getting very creative! I think I am slowly getting to the "like butter" phase, but know that I will need to remain very vigilant. I have no social engagements in the foreseeable future, which I guess is good! Still, though, that little voice in my head is stamping his foot saying "damn!".

There was once a highly active daily mods thread. I'm not entirely sure where it went. Some people say that people who posted here now post on the members' forum. I wonder whether the healthy daily thread went away after mods developed several games threads. Also, I think that a lot of people stopped posting after their friends seemed to fade away (I guess that would be me). Maybe some people who are new to the forum can get it going again.

We used to do a daily mods thread.
I kind of backed away from the main boards after being "cyber attacked" by another member on General D...and have been hanging mostly in Subscribers...( I know...silly, but ...WTF)
Starting to feel ready to venture back out again...

Moddin' along pretty well here.
Hope everybody's having a great summer!

YIKES, Judie!

I'm so sorry that that happened to you (been there, felt that . . .). I always love your posts and I'm sure that the people who are active in Mods today feel the same way. So . . . don't be a stranger!
