Re: Newbies Nest

Wags, I keep checking on the nest but there’s been no action.

I also hope everyone is doing well. If any real newbies drop in for some help we will be here to offer assistance

Re: Newbies Nest

Haha - this gives a whole new meaning to the term "empty nest"

Hope all nesters are doing well and living fab AF lives. We've got a good active crew posting over in the Abstinence thread (new one starts each Sunday, so use the most recent Sun date to find the current one) - here's a link for the June 18 one

All are welcome and we hope to see you there!

Re: Newbies Nest

Hey everyone - I'll definitely still stop by the nest regularly as well. Good to see folks checking in.

Kensho - sounds like a pretty fab trip. And you're right - wine is not your friend!


Hellos and waves to everyone hanging out or passing through the nest. Hope your weeks are off to good starts!

Re: Newbies Nest

We visited small hill towns yesterday. A butcher, a thrift store (got a dress and bracelet for 10 euro and spoke in Italian!), a biking store, a castle, got DF gelato and saw eye candy at every turn. What I knew but sis not yet feel, is that there is plenty here for me. I have noticed that when I eat wrong (gluten and too much dairy), and feel inflamed, my mood tanks. I?m feeling much more positive today.

I was able to talk with my parents via FaceTime last night and just telling my mom that it felt hard to be around so much wine helped. My husband has learned not to offer it to me but he?s not really supportive.

5+ years in and it can still be hard. But I have much practice.

Anyone out there who needs support? please chime in. It is what made all the difference to me. I just heard the statement, ?Life is not about becoming someone else, it?s about learning who you really are and showing it to the world. As long as you ask for help, and accept it, you will grow into a better version of yourself.? - Higgins, Ted Lasso

Hugs to all

Re: Newbies Nest

Hey Nesters,

I think I’ll make at least a weekly fly-by, the nest remains open to all

G, glad you dropped by & good to hear you are well & busy!

Mulburry, hope you are well.

Kensho, thank you for your words, I appreciate the thoughts.
Where there’s a will there’s a way to enjoy most anything AF. I’m a firm believer in that. The old monkey mind may speak up once in a while, just tell it to shut up, haha! Enjoy the rest of your wonderful trip.

Hello to all & wishing everyone a safe nightin the nest!

Re: Newbies Nest

Lav, I can’t let you leave without a word of thanks for your steady, no-nonsense, daily words of encouragement. You have made a big difference in my journey and I have appreciated your support. As nest moms go, you have been the rock that has made so many lives change for the better. Thank you for that.

I’m going to post here while on my trip. We made it to Tuscany. I see that it is the land of wine, cheese and pasta. I’m trying to have an open mind and stay positive, though I feel a little like there’s not much here for me. I know that’s not true, as we will visit Florence and I get to enjoy the lazy, lovely views here.

Hi Mulberry and Zen Warrior! Good to see you both.

Wags, I didn’t ask about the sinking… and I’ll bet they would not want to talk about it. It is definitely a HUGE tourist industry that I doubt they will want to jeopardize. Is your dad finding a bit of balance? And are you?

Best to everyone. Wine is not my friend.

Re: Newbies Nest

I haven't been posting much but I do often fly by and do a quick skim of The Nest! So one more vote to leave open!

Re: Newbies Nest

Hola evabody,

All is well here. Quite busy, and that includes on personal development. So i haven't lost the plot as yet. Hope all are good. take it easy.

Re: Newbies Nest

Glad to see a few checking in & no major malfunctions happening

Steady, join us on the Abstinence thread, please.
You have lots of AF time under your belt, time to do a little flying!

Wags & NS, see you ladies over there

I’ll be checking on the nest especially if a newbie flies in needing support.

Have a safe night all!
Lav

Re: Newbies Nest

I usually find threads via "my unread posts" button but like you, Ava, I don't see that monthly thread listed. There usually is a post listed at the far right of the home page under "latest forum posts". I hope we all manage to make it over there! Here is the link to this week's first post by Mick: https://www.mywayout.org/community/m...ml#post1824553

I hope you don't get Covid again, Ava. Glad to hear you are having a good time, Kensho!

Re: Newbies Nest

I will probably always stop by the nest to see whether anyone has posted, but definitely want a more active place to post and read, so off to the abs thread I go. Hope to see each and every one of you there!


Kensho - great to see you and to hear how fab your Italy trip has been so far. Have you heard any talk of Venice worried they'll be underwater with sea levels rising? That was a concern when we were there in 2018 and I imagine it's only gotten worse.

Lav - you have been "nest Mom" for an incredibly long time and I'd venture to say you've impacted hundreds of quits and lives in positive ways. I know you've been a huge part of me gaining confidence in my wings. See you on the other thread!

Steady - my heart sinks a little too, but you're right it's the people not the thread. See you in abstinence!

Ava - covid is still everywhere it seems. A woman in my dad's memory care unit just tested positive in the past week or so. Sorry it's making your work harder and costing you acupuncture sessions. Thanks for sharing the pic - too cute!


Ok everyone, standing on the edge of the nest and jumping in 5, 4, 3, 2...
