June 1st Moderation Event

And the new leader is (((drumroll..........)))

Our outrageously funny Saint Jude! Judie, as we also know, has her serious side! Known for threatening her husband with 2' X 4's, and keeping us amused with her antics in the Pacific Northwest, also reads daily meditations, kayaks with her dog, and drinks considerably less than she used to drink. She is courageous, empathic, and an all-around wonderful woman.

RJ will be setting up the forum in the next 24 hours so we can get things started!

So, moderators, start getting your moderation plans together!!!

Hugs,
Kathy

Kathy, Judie,

I'm new to this so I don't know how these events work. Can you give me a brief primer?

I'm sure there are others who will appreciate it too.

Thanks,

Ned

Hi Ivy & welcome! Well I've pretty much just found out myself that it's gonna be "ME" playing "leader" on the moderation board!!:rolleyes :eek So, I guess I need to get together with RJ!! I'm asuming we'll just keep posting in the same place as wedid the May Moderation.... just below the Abs Event on the opening page. It'll just say June Moderation instead! All are welcome!! Be thinking about what goals you'd like to set for yourself in June...RE:a moderation plan, exercise, definately HUMOR DAILY will be part of it!! ol Come one ...Come All! The more the merrier!:rollin at
Hugs, Judie aka "Mod woman of June" Ha! aka "Fashion Disastah"

Judie, ok I'll look for it! YOu are the right woman to lead this.:D

Catch you later,

Ned

Hi Ivy,

If you haven't done so already, you could check out the threads for the May Abstinence and May Moderation events. It will give you a chance to see what they are about so that you have an idea. It really is just a bunch of us getting together and having a plan for ourselves, and also offering each other support. Each day can be funny or sad, we share our triumphs and our failures and try to be as honest as we can.

Hugs,
Kathy

Oh now you tell me! We have to honest?:rollin Sh*t!:o HA!

Hey Jude..in June (Love it!)

Welcome All.... I am going for mostly abs...but it is because i may or may not plan on moderation(okay this does not make since, but it does to me...lol) My original goal was to only drink at social events! TWO, so far I have nothing panned this month to qualify as a "social event"! Which is fine for me...just keep me down here with all of you and let me live through you....

Relief!!!
We have a leader!! And it's Judie! Whooooo HOOOOOOOOOOO!
Jude, that's great. You have been sticking to your plan like glue and are an excellent inspiration. Loving the couple/few drinks, satisfied with that, still having a blast with life and not missing a beat.
So don't screw up.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!:rollin :rollin
You better know I'm jokin.

Well, you know I'm in it with you, and hoping to do even better than in May, although I looked at my "drinking diary" (which doubles as my half marathon training diary!) and I'm pretty darn proud of myself still. I've never kept track like this and it really makes a difference. Like Osha said, I can see certain patterns now that it's in ink in my dang face, so I am more proactively able to correct it.
yay, yay,yay.!
Looking forward to this.
Bec

Becca,

That's so great that you do the marathon!!!!! That has to be a big plus in staying away from drinking. I wish I could move like that. I have physical issues (arthritis) and I know it would help if I could move the way I used to. Now I'm going to pain management specialist and I'm hoping to get more mobility back.

Rooting for you.

Ned

I'm gonna post this here too, just because it kinda blew me away... the timing with what I was writing and all...
I was adding a post to "MY story" from back when I started in Jan. and did a bit of editing (adding a little more that I wasn't sure about confiding, before),... When that song "UNanswered Prayers" came on the radio. :eek

Then I got a call from the lady who is responsible for me being back in Oregon...(she's my friend who called my family, when she was concerned & didn't know what else to do....I was wayy out of control) My Mom & Brother showed up in Colorado in 1 & 1/2 days. I didn't know she'd called them!!
All of a sudden they were there! Today is full of suprises for me! :eek :b
