Day 29 Check In

Good Morning All!

Happy Memorial Day! Thanks so much to everyone for your comments and support yesterday, I truly do aprreciate it! I am moving on, truly what else is there to do. And Pansy I will watch where I step, thanks for advice!

Hey, I am wondering about something, has anyone else noticed that their nails are in really great shape since starting this program? I have never had such nice fingernails, really! It must be all the supps, lack of alcohol, or combination of both. Truly not the thought provoking morning post of yesterday I know, but hey, my brain is just plum wore out (lucky for you guys)! ol

CDS:
Clearing, Tracks 1 & 2, Subliminal, and Sleeplearning.
Everything else is the same!

I have been meaning to buy flowers for the yard all weekend long and have yet to do it. So, today is the day, off to the the garden shop for me. I hope you all have a safe and happy holiday! Watch out for those obstacles...they pop up when you least expect them!

Have a GREAT day all!

Donna

Good morning all,
Not much planned for today. Still working on cleaning up the wet basement. It is my wedding aniversary today, 8yrs.

Donna I have noticed my nails growing too.


Happy Memorial Day,
Marcie

Marcie,

Happy Aniversary! I sure do hope you have something more planned to celebrate it then cleaning up your wet basement. Although, rolling around a basement floor could be fun now couldn't it...:rollin

Have a good one!

Donna

Hi all,

Just thought I'd pop my little nose in to say Happy Anniversary Marcie!!!

I read this thread all the time and just love the back and forth between you all - it's like you are actually having a live group discussion. The support and advice you give each other is what it's all about!!

Cheers,

Kate

Hey all,

Thanks for checking in Kate. I love it here too! I feel blessed to have such a great group to come to everyday. I really can't imagine coming this far without it. It's been essential to keeping myself on track. So you're absolutely right, it's "what it's all about!"

Happy anniversary Marcie! By this time of night I hope you're out of the basement & have slipped into something more comfortable...

Yes Donna, my nails are much stronger & longer now. In the past, when I've quit drinking and then started back again, my nails deteriorating was one of the telltale signs. They would start peeling & breaking, It was a constant reminder of what I was doing to my body. Especially in the morning when I was getting dressed, and one or two nails would get caught in my clothing, on top of the hangover & the bloating, it was just a little added extra bonus that would sometimes send me over the edge. >: So now my nails are a happy reminder that I'm healthier, and that quitting has bought many rewards, big & small, in a short time. I'm so glad you bought that up, it's one of those significant things for me, but I never would have thought to mention it. So thanks!

I did something BIG today folks. I went to Coney Island & I actually got on a roller coaster. I haven't had the "nerve" to ride one since...maybe the 80's...? It's hard to explain, but let me just say that I took a challenge VOLUNTARILY that I wouldn't do when I was drinking. I guess I was always so exhausted that I saw no reason to deplete myself further. Now I seem to have replenished my energy stores, and can use some of it to have fun & partake in unnatural, death-defying activities. It was great. Maybe next time we'll sit in the front .....NOT! I have to draw the line somewhere. ol

It reminds me of the movie Preluse To A Kiss. Before the dying old man took over Meg Ryan's body, she drank. But when he switches bodies with her, he wants to live LIFE to the fullest, and alcohol would dull that experience, so she/he doesn't drink. When Alec Baldwin starts to realize what's happened, he explains that it can't be his wife because his wife is "afraid of life".

Have a great night,
Deirdre
