Well, it's me again !!!

Where has everyone gone?

Just checking in to start the day - hope everyone is ok .... We've got over another AF weekend - Hooooray !!!

Me n Lee spent last night listening to Nina Simone !!! FAB - haven't done that in a long time - just listening to music ( and sober ) ... After going to AA - I still have an open mind about the whole concept of AA - I feel really uncomfortable saying the prayer at the end - I feel like I'm lying...

Also we watched I'm a Celeb ( get me out of here) - David Gest has turned out to be quite a sweetheart :H

Well, we are going to have a Full English now ( how mad is it that your appetite returns tenfold when you don't booze !!! )

so will speak later
kisses to all XXXXXX

I KNOW! When does the weight drop off! Good article in the Mail on Sunday You Magazine today, all about how alcohol has loads of calories and no nutrients! and it sits on the middle! AGHHHH

Hi Lizzie and Mary, and all to come.

Lizzie, you are just up before all the rest of us, that's why you get to start the threads so often! Sorry....Also sorry that you get creeped out about saying the prayer at the end of AA. Maybe you can just think of it as part of the ritual?? Remember to try to take what's useful to you and let go of the rest?? Hope that helps, love.

Hi Mary, too! I know that the weight is just creeping off on me, just like it crept on--a little at a time.

One of the issues of having my sister in the house is the fact that she loves junk food. I find myself nibbling (more than nibbling really:eeks: ), and I've seen a few pounds creep back on! Yikes! I have to get a handle on that one soon! SHE can nibble, I can't--I gobble.

At any rate, today is another day of moving furniture around. We're putting the kitchen table into storage and moving the dining room furniture into the kitchen and hopefully, we can go buy a new office desk and make a corner of the big living area into an office for me. It should make the house feel more spacious and easier to clean. I am definitely in the mood to streamline my life!!

I am soooooo looking forward to a 4-day weekend next week. I've been working so much lately--that's why I haven't been posting much either.

I hope that everyone has a good AF day.

Hugs to all,
Kathy:l

Inviting myself in....

Hello Everyone. I'm new here and today is only my first day but I plan to stay abstinent and I wanted a group to join (besides the newbies group). So here I am!

I am SO glad to have found this place. I'm not much of a group sharer (like in AA) and I hate to talk on the phone. But give me some friends in my computer and I' m ready to go!!

Thanks in advance for your support! I can see that I will get plenty of it here! :thanks:

Hi Lizzie,

Thanks for the welcome. Go to tickerfactory.com to create a ticker. I was hoping to add it to my signature but they aren't allowing for pics in the signatures. So instead I just clicked on the Insert Image button above and pasted the URL to my ticker in there. I will have to do that everytime I write a post.....we'll see if I actually REMEMBER!!

Hopefully the mods will allow the pics.

Let me know if you need any help.

Morning Liz and Helen and Kathy! And everyone else not here yet.

I gained about 10lbs between quitting smoking and now no drinking. I tried atkins last year and lost 15lbs but it came right back about 6months later- plus an extra 5lbs!
Now, I've decided to try to work it off at the gym.
I have a friend who has decided to quit smoking- pack a day for the last 22 years. She is worried about weight gain. I told her - so what if she gains a few pounds? I told her to expect it and eat pie if she needs to - quitting is so much more important. She can lose it later. Easier said than done, I know. Reminds me...I should go to the gym today:sigh:

I'm beginning to feel more comfortable telling people that I'm not drinking. I had a hard time with it because it went along with admitting that I had an issue. I've been doing a little confessing about how much I'd been drinking....kind of a relief to say it out loud. And to my great surprise the world did not come to an end!
It has made it easier to not drink too- today is day 22 I believe. I talked to a friend last night - talked to her as she was drinking wine. I said I wasn't drinking and she said 'oh, right, your doing 30 days no alcohol right?" It was all positive...she said she was thinking she should do the same - really cut down.

Anyway- just wanted to say good morning and hope you all have a great day today.
Lizzie- I had such a nice pic in my head of you and lee listening to music together-what a nice evening.
Kathy- good luck on moving the furniture today! no cheese doodles today
Hi Helen...I;m waiting for that alcohol to leave my middle!
Have a great day everyone!!

Hiya Phil... the word Antabuse makes me feel sick already... Good Luck X

Well.. I have dropped off the 'wagon' yet again guys... 'No sugar Sherloc'k based on my last post.

Lee has gone ( I don't blame him ) and Daisy has just eaten 4 Raw sausages that Lee flung around the kitchen... so Poorly Doggies 2moz

I wish Lee had gone fishin with you Mackx ... Chill him out a bit... He doesn't go to Rugby anymore, maybe this is where the anger is surfacing ??

Had 1 bottle of wine.... does that count??
