From what you wrote, you have apparently made some very big changes in your life... good for you! Taking alcohol out of the equation will make you appreciate life so much more, I know for me, in these past few months I have noticed how much better I am at coping with stress & life in general. I don't know how long you have been quit, but give it time... you will find little by little, that the days start getting easier & you feel more comfortable in your skin. Of course we will always have bad days.... but at least now they seem more manageable & further apart. May all your dreams come true Amelia!

Hi Amelia and tkeene!! t - I'm really excited to pick up where we left off - it's so good to be back. And ditto that Amelia - if you have a gallery or something I'd love to see it too. I can't paint one bare wall beige myself. I KNOW I have talents!! I just haven't found them yet!!
Hey FA - How about Frickin'AwesomeAngel?? Hey - if FindingMyFeet can become FindingMySelf then you can become a different type of Angel too. OK - I'm off to pick out a movie to watch and just relax. And hopefully get more sleep than last night. But if not, I'm ready to just deal with it. My Valerian Root awaits me. DG ***

Hello Everyone
Saying hello to all the friends here...
Just gone through all the posts by Angel ( ya, the 'Fallen' truly sucks) and all u outers, I solemnly beseech you to read all his posts once again carefully to find out who he is ( as some of us are curious to find out).... Then, you will agree with my realisation that.. ..He is an author-genius-incognito who wants to use this forum to further his quest for the Man Booker / Pulitzer and all the other million literary prizes that are up for grabs, in the process converting this forum for poor alcohol-afflicted souls like us to a literature/art appreciation course. If Angel continues lurking here for some more time, RJ probably will have to call it quits and start another website as MWO might become a haunt for the literary types....lol.. Warm welcome, Angel. Your posts are simply awesome. Doubter

Happy Sunday current and future long term abbers!!!
Welcome doubter!! I too was reading your post until the very end! You got me!! Hey - I could use a little culture too and I bet you could find about 3856395 folks who would agree with that!How is everyone today? I'm feeling really good today. I've already gotten a head start on laundry and some other stuff, done some thread hopping here, made a nice breakfast for me and Mr. Doggy, made my menu plan for the week and now I'm getting ready to go shopping! Whenever I whine about craving booze, would you all please remind me how good it feels to NOT be hungover (how would daily drinkers like me every know the difference..)? Kick my butt and tell me to go take a GABA and cut the crap. Hope everyone is having a good day! Your Future Long Term Abber, DG ***

Pffftt... who's name sucks more??
Quote:
The scene opens as Angel sips contently on her morning java "Hmmmm.... looks like I have a new message posted to me" she mused to herself as she logged into MWO...... "What the .......????"  So let me get this straight Doubter (or whoever you are)... apparently not only does my ID name suck, but now there's issues on my gender???  You know, your ID isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer either... tell you what, maybe we BOTH should look for something more befitting of our personalities.... I was thinking ScreaminBanshee might be suitable for me. As for you my friend, I've been giving this alot of thought...let's see..... SmartArse is good, but probably already taken... FavouritePasttimePokingAngryBearWithStick..... suits you quite nicely, but I think your PC connection might time out before you get logged in...... HowAmIeverGoingToLiveThis OneDown is a good one too, but refer back to FavouritePasttimePokingAngryBearWithStick for possible complications. See... this is my point... coming up with an appropriate name isn't as easy as one would think. You know what I'm thinking?? I think we should run a contest & have the members of MWO decide on our handles.... since we both suck at choosing our own!! LOL  Btw.... was it my reference to "going out to the garden to eat worms" that gave away my literary skills.... oar mi goud speling?

I was hoping someone would come to my rescue ;)
Quote:
it certainly can't be any of my doing.... by chance do I have a "kick me" sign stuck to my backside?? (Or maybe mine says: now that I'mFallenAndCan'tGetUp, you might as well kick me too) lol Good Morning to you tkeene! From reading the posts this morning, it looks like we're all in good spirits & are going to have a great AF day!! I'm really looking forward to forming a support group where we are accountable to one another & reaffirm our sobriety committment each day. I'm going to post a thought for the day in awhile, I think it would be great if we came up with something on a daily (or semi-daily) basis to ponder & reflect on. It might take awhile, but I'm confident that we come up with ideas as a group of what we need & what works to keep us on track. Btw... did I mention I love the icons here?? tee hee This is so cool.... instead of typing my fingers to the bone, I can just point-&-click to tell you about the worst hair salon experience I ever had:

Your wish is my command! And for about 9 months out of the year, I can deliver a swift kick to the butt with a frozen boot.... how's that?? lol Wow! I'm impressed about you getting the week's meals planned... I always mean to do that, but it ends up the meals get made by "what's in the fridge". *sigh* I love how upbeat you & tkeene sound today...you ladies ROCK! I'm not sure how the weekends rate on a difficulty level for the two of you, for me it has always been tougher than the workweek... so when I eased through a weekend, it was a great way to start off on a Monday..... and NO HANGOVER!
