Day 31 and Beyond: Hello, I'm a non-drinker

I'm going to try one.

Believe, you're sounding pretty beat up. Is there anything we can do? (I know - faceless strangers on a web site). I know that it's hard for some people to 'vent' or 'dump' on here. Like we all have to be positive all the time. This is the first time you opened a crack for a drink : "I'll be lucky if I make it to 60". That tells me you've let the thoughts in. You sure you want to go there? NO judgments. Just think it ALL the way through, huh? Like the good old days (last week) ? Your day 60 is a week from today. The clouds could lift by then. Hold on.

Day 31 and Beyond: Hello, I'm a non-drinker

We went to the most depressing movie tonight --Tommy Lee Jones in ... Oh I can't remember the name ... something about an Old man - don't go - You'll just get depressed and Tommy looks old. It's down right bad. Hubby likes bad movies. I just go for the popcorn - but this wasn't worth the popcorn.

Believe - I am sorry you are feeling so down. If there is something here we can do .... please ask ... I'd pm you my cell phone #

Thankful, MM, Wonder, Mya, Kate, Believe, Bootsie and everyone who checks out this wonderful thread:
Go Where You've Never Been. Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known. -


Bootsie - You sounded like a tough day too - well it's over I hope your tomorrow is better. Big Big congrats on 60 - thats huge. (today is my 60 also - how cool is that - but who's counting) (60 days 23 hours, 15 minutes and 10 seconds) :bday3:

Day 31 and Beyond: Hello, I'm a non-drinker

well i just decided that hubby and i should use my points and go check in to a st regis which is like a four seasons so voila i am here. hahaaha and after a nice long shower and jammies and a nice love making session. i'm now famished. i'm going to have a late supper and wash face. and since it's hubby's real bday and my 60 day bday i'm ordering ice cream with the trio of sauces. yummy. okay totally not on my diet but fuck it hahaha i am getting a salad to balance. okay so in honor of the stressful days i tonight opened up the word doc and wrote a prayer to angels, universe and god of all and wrote out my order of and then surrendered it and asked them to get to work on it. hahahaha and since that is my room service order up to the universe i surrender it and said that's it i allow you to handle it. now i'm going to then go to work on what i know to do. that's really all i can do... choices choices choices. i have the power to take the steps and give my life force up to the universe and embrace what's next. that's it... so wonder i think expand the thread to 120 days and change name to correct name. we won't lose thread as you can edit it. hahahaha we don't have to start new thread.
living free i saw that movie and it was deeply disturbing only because that represents the planet... believe release the expectation that you can change anything outside of yourself honey. that is what i am doing right now. that and of course well i did do a bit of extreme self care. and well i have 6 escrows right now and they are all shakey so well i've held their hand for 9 months as we waited for the doors to open it is what happens with first time home buyers. i have grey hair now. hahahaha i bought myself a jacket tonight believe that probably wasn't a good idea but i didn't drink. hahahahaa that and i'm staying in a 1000 a dollar a nite room but on points. i would send photos but i don't know how to do that. but i'll describe it for you all tomorrow. ooh the ocean is right outside the window...... kate i'm so happy you are here and sober. so so so happy. how are you and your beau doing? you still like him? hahaa i'm happy you and your daughter had a successful client dealio. thankful sending you love and mm good look on your move...... living and i are celebrating our bday together. yeahhhhhhhhh. we are all sober sisters. ahhhh that's a great title. sober sisters. hahahahaaha

Morning Friends -

Ice cream at the St. Regis - Way to celebrate Boots!! Sounds like a blast. Good thinking! Sounds like the changes keep coming.

It's happening to me too. And crying seems to be part of it for me. Emotions getting purged as the self clears up. But it's okay - I just put on my Jackie O's and go about my business. I'm moving absolutely in the right direction, this I know. Huge feelings come up. And at any old time, apparently. And I've said it before, I'll say it again - I think that sometimes (often, mostly) just feeling the feelings sober, 'allowing' them until they're done being felt, IS the process. If I let those feelings drive me to drink ( they are GENUINELY UNCOMFORTABLE), it's back to square one. No thanks. I'm gonna just keep walking. Hand me my Jackie O's and tell Al to bite me.

Maybe Kate can tell us the story about the cows again, if and when she has a sec. I love that one. A fantastic metaphor. .

Liv - you look so, so, stunning in your 60 days! Such a great great accomplishment. I just LOVE IT!!! It's just the best. Congratulations sweetie :l

MM - I see you're up and at 'em for day 2 - Nice!

I'm off to do some cleaning and exercising. If I don't do it now, I never will :upset:.
Be back a little later.........

Love to all (and where's Thankful?)

Hello, eveyone.

Finally went to ER. I delevoped a fever Wed night and knew then I obvisously was not going to shake this illness off. Good news is that it's only acute bronchitis. So they have me on cough syrup w/codine and an antibiotic. Suppose to be in bed for 2 more days, but I had to get up for a little while. I think the fever may finally be gone, but it's been touch and go.

Thank you for your concern and well wishes. I appreciate it more than you'll know.

Liv & Boots ~ congrats on your 60 days. I am so happy for you. You should be very proud of yourselves!!

To all ~ whether you are having a great day or not, the important thing is that everyone is staying AF. WTG! Believe, hang in there dude! A drink will only make things worse. Stick to your monsters!

I'll get back to my regular routine asap. I just had to check in today. You are all in my heart that it seems weird to not know what's going on with all of you. :h

Love, Me
:l

Day 31 and Beyond: Hello, I'm a non-drinker

Way to go Living on your 60 as well. I guess this thread will need to be renamed if everyone keeps this up. Thats good stuff!

Thankful I was wondering how you were doing. I had bronchitis once as well, and like you I just thought I could get over it until I had to go to the e-room, so I can really appreciate how miserable you must've been over the past weeks. Man I'm glad you're getting that taken care of. Thats great news. You're probably READY for a couple days in bed anyway after having that!

My day is going ok so far, but thats cause I just woke up. Guess we'll see whats crackin later on.

Everyone take care, Bootcamp, hopefully your day is going better than yesterday as well!

Day 31 and Beyond: Hello, I'm a non-drinker

Thankful - I was getting worried that you were no where on the boards. Glad you went to the Dr. Was going to have to start Stocking you!!:sofa: I hope you get better fast. It stinks that you beat the brown bottle and so soon afterwards have to have this crud. Please take care.

Bootsie - Your scaring me - Are you my sister - in - Law? No .. she lives in Ocean Side and Winters in Costa Rica. It's not you is it:H You sound JUST like her!! (I love her - so I love you too)

WW - you just purge those emotions but NO plugging them with AL the bastard!:moon: Last week was my emotional week. I was seriously getting scared. Between the "flushes" and the tears - I journaled some scary stuff. But it all has to come out so write it out. It's ok (as the guy on the CD's says) I really am a good listener if you ever need to talk I'll pm my cell. I know I ramble on and on here - but I am a good ear. K?

Believe - You hanging buddy? Opps that didn't sound right. You hanging in there? I think everyone is going to have some lighter days ahead. Hold on. I'm loving my food plan. I love that I'm not having to eat so much protein - that was part of my problem - not enough balance. I still have questions - but I'm slowly coming up with plans.

Miss Kate - I can just see you playing with the grand kids. And I have a feeling people say ... "You? You can't have grandkids?" They do don't they?!! Don't lie to us here!!

MM- How is the move going? So glad to see you are checking in! You are sounding happy and centered. Is the house finished and ready to be your extreme retreat? It needs to be your hide away. Peaceful, relaxing but inspiring! Paint paint paint!

See ya later
Liv
