GOOD MORNING HAPPY FRIDAY ONE AND ALL

100 Days til a day of Thanks

Good morning everyone! Bandit, why the "dreaded weekend"? NC, what has happened to you? No posting lately? I know you are having severe dental pain and Grateful, you are having a severe infection and pain and I am praying for you both. God does not want us to suffer in pain or sickness. Jesus came to earth and suffered so we would not have to. So in the name of Jesus, I pray that both Kelly and Barbara are completely healed today of all their physical and emotional pain!

"Jesus went out healing every pain, sickness and disease and they were made perfectly whole" Matthew 14 "Behold, I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in good health, even as your soul shall prosper" III John 2

I love you all so much! Let's keep focusing on our goal: to get and stay sober before Thanksgiving! Today is day 12 for me! Let's stand together and do this ONE DAY AT A TIME! Love ya, Vicki

I have just stopped drinking today and am feeling very ill. All I can do is last each minute by minute and hope tomorrow is better.

Spacebebe, welcome! We are here for you, struggling on the same journey "to get and to stay sober". Are you ill from drinking too much last night or ill from not having a drink today? The first week is very difficult, but take it one day at a time and yes, one minute at a time and try not to drink just this day or just this minute. The more alcohol free days you have, the better you will feel. Stay strong, stay busy and most important, do not let your mind think about or fanaticize over drinking. It is all a lie. Alcohol is poison and it may kill you unless YOU rise above it, kick it to the curb and not allow any more in your body! PLEASE keep posting and let us know how you are doing. You may also want to visit the "newbies nest" and meet others who are just trying to get off alcohol, too. YOU CAN DO THIS! It will get easier. Love you all, Vicki

Everybody, everywhere seeks happiness, it's true.
But finding it and keeping it seems difficult to do.
Difficult because we think that happiness is found
Only in the places where wealth and fame abound...
And so we go on searching in places of pleasure
Seeking recognition and monetary treasure.
Unaware that happiness is just a "state of mind"
Within the reach of everyone who takes time to be kind
For in making others happy, we will be happy, too.
For the happiness you give away returns to "shine on you".

Good morning and welcome to a brand new day and a brand new week! Let's make this one really special. Let's CHOOSE to be happy regardless of our circumstances! Let's take one day at a time, reaching out to others to help us stay sober. WE CAN DO THIS! I had the great pleasure of talking with NC yesterday and let's continue to pray for her and for each other! I love all of you, Vicki


I wouldn't think of starting out to face the coming day,
Without a thank you word to God to help me on my way.
For when things seem uncertain, and my steps may falter too,
It is then I ask the Father for His help in what to do.
Yes, He's always there to help me when I stumble and I fall,
To give me strength, and pick me up, and guide me through it all.
What a wonderful companion, what a joy in life to know,
That the Father God walks with me no matter where I go.

Hi all,

Sick of being sick..the weekends are always harder for me as that is when I would most likely drink..Fri and Sat nights would have been the tradition. Plus I had a lot extra on this weekend with bits of work that needed to be finished and my daughters birthday party, plus my mum is not well so had to try and squeeze in a visit to her. About to go back to her place tonight for two nights so will not be able to log on till late Wed as she has no internet

See you guys later in the week

:h

Bandit, it sounds like you have plenty to keep you busy. Just do not allow yourself to think about or fantasize over drinking, instead think of the reasons you DO NOT want to drink! You can do this! It just takes a little discipline and alot of determination! Hope you have fun at the birthday party and enjoy your time with your Mum! Love you, Vicki

YES, PRAYER ABSOLUTELY WORKS! I was waking up at 3 in the morning EVERY morning from incredible pain for a very long time. Then you, my dear friends, started praying for me and the pain is completely gone! My husband asked me what am I doing different and I tell him I have friends praying for me! I'm praying for each of you and I KNOW that God will answer my prayers and even though I don't know all the details of your lives, HE DOES! And He loves each one of you and wants to help you in your troubled times! I pray that this is a blessed happy day for you all! I love you! Vicki

MY COMPANION
I wouldn't think of starting out to face the coming day,
Without a "thank you" to God to help me on my way.
For when things seem uncertain, and my steps may falter too,
It is then I ask the Father for His help in what to do.
Yes, He's always there to help me when I stumble and I fall,
To give me aid and pick me up and guide me through it all.
What a wonderful companion, what a joy in life to know,
That the Father God walks with me no matter where I go.

Hi, All. Hope everyone is doing well.....please check in and let us know. Happy Hump Day (Wednesday)!!

God is in every tomorrow, therefore I can live for today,
Certain of finding a sunrise, guidance and strength for the way,
Power for each moment of weakness, hope for each moment of pain,
Comfort for every sorrow, sunshine and joy after rain.

MY RESOLUTION
I won't look back; God knows the fruitless efforts,
the waisted hours, the sinning, the regrets;
I'll leave them all with Him who blots out the record
and mercifully forgives and then forgets.
I won't look forward; God sees all the future
the road that, short or long, will lead me home,
And He will face with me its every trial,
and bear with me the burdens that may come.
But I'll look up into the face of Jesus,
for there my heart can rest, my fears are stilled;
And there is joy and love, and light for darkness,
and perfect peace, and every hope fulfilled.
