The benefits of being AF

Thanks for sharing these small but huge to all of us here moments... Yep, it's day 3 here too and I slept so well... I work today and will have an extra bounce in my step as I carry you all in my heart... Today, I will start taking Kudzu as I find it gets "tricky" for me starting on day 3...

This morning I wasn't impatient with our boys to clean up behind themselves. That was a really nice way to start my day
Happy Sober Tuesday to us all Oh, Dolly and Pooh, I crochett aswell.. Right now I'm working on my third alfghan. My gramma (rest her beautiful soul) taught me when I was ten, so when I'm working on something I can feel her around me almost... I've made doilies and a lovely table runner aswell. Isn't it peaceful to sip on some tea, half watch a show while crochetting? Ahhh .... xxx Have a great day.

Niblet, I've been impatient with my daughter and she actually said to me, 'mummy why are you so happy today?' .......

I have a headache though, don't know if it part of the withdrawal or not ....

Love & Hugs to you all..... BB xx

I am going to the gym instead of the local bar. starting my spring workout schedule.

I try not to think about days AF or drunk too much work. although in the morning I can tell which kind of evening is better, AF of course.

BB, I had to laugh about the recycle bin. Mine rattles so early AM dragging it out I'm scared I'll wake the neighbors.:anon: I've even arranged it with newspapers on top as a disguise. What's with the nightmares?

This happened to me last time I went AF, not scary dreams as such but scary visions, I've heard of it happening to other people too ..

It passes .....

Just another positive that happened to me yesterday, I got followed by a police car, it was positive because I knew that no way was there any alcohol in my system from the night before, I really smiled to myself ..........

Love & Hugs, BB xx

I know that feeling. Someone ran into the side of my my car and we had to pull over and do the police thing and I was AF.

The had a segment on my local news on Monday(St Patty's day) about how they often pull drivers over the morning after a night out and they are still technically drunk.

The burn off rate is around .015% an hour. So if you were at .25 and went to bed for 8 hours, you'd only be down to .13 and still well over the limit

.25 - (.015 x 8) = .13

Hi again guys, had a hectic day with hospital appointments for my daughter, we were at the hospital for 4 hours and then had a 90 min drive home, so my mum (who came with us) said 'lets go for tea at our local pub' ....... I can honestly say that when I ordered diet pepsi and mum ordered lager I never had a single craving .............

AF life is GOOD .......

Nite all, will check in tomorrow ........

Love & Hugs, BB xx

Yahooooo to you Boopster !!! That is toooo funny that your Mom calls it "a tea " at the pub :H I'm so glad and happy for you on enjoying a frosty cold diet pepsi :goodjob:

Well, what was supposed to be a 9:30 morning shift turned out to be a 7:00 am shift...
A wonderful positive thing about this whole day was, " I got called and woken out of bed to be into work within 1 hour and I did it bright eyed and bushy tailed" I didn't get out of the caffeteria until after 5, my feet are tired, but I'm happy to be home. Yesterday I took a kudzu expecting a craving or 3, but today, I'm just happy to get home to dinner Hubby had 2 bottles of beer before supper and I enjoyed a diet pop and a handful of baked chips. Not a single twinge of a craving atall and no kudzu today.

Lets all enjoy a good nights rest :l Yep, Boopster I had really weird, not quite disturbing dreams the other night too... Sure beat sleeping in a haze though and waking up with an empty feeling. I will be covering the early shift again tomorrow, but will stop by tomorrow evening. xxx

Well today is day 5 and I honestly feel awesome !!! I did have a couple small flashes of a craving knowing that I'm not off work until next Tuesday and hubby will be having a few cold ones as tomorrow is the Good Friday holiday.... So, before heading home from work I had a nice dish of yogurt and popped a kudzu. Last night I hardly slept a wink, and when I did I was dreaming about being chased by a demented, boyfriend? (I was a teenager) I was running and running to get home because I missed the bus? Strange dreams... Must have been because I worked a super long shift as we had parent-teacher night to cater to after school hours with short staff.. Even in my sleep I couldn't take a break.. Haaa !! Haaa !!!
So, I hope that everybody is having a good Thursday, "First day of spring " !! Yahoooo !!!! Although we have a few feet of snow yet with -20 expected tonight... Argggg .... Oh to be a Northerner.
Well, I'm heading out to the barn soon to scoup poop, haul some water and feed, then settle into a nice cup of tea... I had reheated supper as soon as I got home tonight.. that'll kill any cravings that might have been lurking for sure Take Care, and I'll "see" ya'll tomorrow, Day 6 !!! xxx
