        December Determination ~ AF ~ Week 4

        I'm committing myself to consciously practicing all the things that are going to ensure a contented AF life.
        Cyn-What a great New Years resolution. I am putting it at the top of my New Years list.

        For me and all of us here who tend to be placid on the surface, it is often not obvious how really hard not drinking is.
        LHB-Sometimes I go down and read in the long term section. There are people there with 1-2 or more years af and I wonder how they did it. Then I realize they did it the same way I am. One foot in front of the other, one day at a time. Stumbling, falling but always getting back up and back at it till they found their way.

        Am learning to trust that no matter what mood I find myself in, it's not going to last too long. Just hang on for the ride.
        Sped-I have been going through the same thing. I had a day when I really just wanted to 'go away' for awhile. But I played the tape all the way through and knew that the ending would only be bad. So like you, I am learning to hang on for the ride. Those bull riders have nothing on us MWO ladies!

        I hope everyone can make it this afternoon. I will 'talk' talk to you all then!
        AF since 7/26/2009

          Good Morning/Afternoon Determined ones!

          Don't forget, tomorrow look for January: Just Do It! In the General Discussion Section. I think it's a step UP and and a reward for all our collective hard work. I have been wondering if we should have decided to move to Monthly Abstinence, but we can discuss that more. For now, since we all agreed I will plan on General Discussion for the first month of 2010. Whoever gets here first, please do the honors!

          Tonight, at midnight, a New Year will begin. None of us know what the New Year will hold. But we can trust ourselves to hold on to the spirit of recovery as we go through the year. As a New Year is about to begin, we can rejoice in our new way of life.           ~an excerpt from the Daily Recovery Readings' Keep it Simple.

          If it is important to you, you will find a way. If not, you will find an excuse.

            Hello all!

            Lav, I am totally committed to my AF Practice, and feel really strong and good about achieving my goals in 2010. I feel like I turned a corner in my thinking, and that building a strong foundation day by day, moment by moment is the way to never be taken by surprise - even if the devil winds are blowing at me at 40 mph!

            I have a work day that is flat out straight through tonight when we must attend a fancy dress Ball. UUUGH! I will do my darndest to get to a computer at 1:00 -( I think that's right for AZ time - we don't change with the seasons). It will be great to check with all my fellow travelers.

            If by some chance I can't get online, please know how grateful I am for all of you, and am wishing you the best of the best in 2010.

            Hopefully catch up with you at 3:00 EST!
            to the light

              Good morning Determined Friends,

              I am suprisingly ready for 2010 - bring it on!! I am perfectly happy to put 2009 behind me - make it part of my past

              Woke up to snow this morning - it was supposed to be rain, oh well! It doesn't matter, I'm not going anywhere today.

              I'll definitely be checking back in at 3 pm - see you all then

                Dill and Shelley, I don?t think any of us have avoided the sisterhood or brotherhood of the hidden booze, mine was a scotch bottle in one of the large bookcases in my study, if it was there now I would be in trouble tonight but it?s not. Dill, I would love to move to Monthly Abstinence, I think it is fitting and I think we have earned it. In those times when we have messed up we have stepped right back on same road, no going back to our ?ways? or going off on our own to start a new thread that might work better. We picked this and we are making it work no matter what shape we are in from time to time. If new people don?t find us we could go on recruiting missions as it is my understanding that anybody and everybody can find their way out of this catastrophe given focus, tools, and support, no exceptions. Hope to be around at 3:00 EST. Love to you two and Lil, Lav, Cyn, Pea (where are you!!!), Chops, SD, Red, MM, Sheri et. al. Trust you are perking along, Lodestar. Love, Ladybird.
                may we be well

                  Good Morning Determinators! Happy New Year's Eve to everyone. I am extremely ready for 2010, and cannot wait to be 2009 behind me. I am especially ready for March 28th as that is when I complete my Associate's Degree!!

                  I am sorry I can't address everyone individually. I have a day full of errands, and I am already behind :H I am just hoping I don't get washed away with all the rain coming down!

                  I won't be able to join the New Year's party, but I will be thinking of each and every one of you! Hope you have a grand party!!! I am spending the evening with my bestest girlfriend! Board games and Mexican food....very nice and relaxing. The best feeling is knowing I won't wake up hung over!

                  Have a very nice day everyone. See you on the January thread!!!

                  Much love and hugs to you all! I wish I could express how much everyone of you means to me and how much I have appreciated the support from you all, even if I don't post much any more.

                  Here's to a fabulous 2010!! :l :l :l :h :h

                    Hello ALL!!

                    I realized I read all the posts yesterday and was going to post something myself and must have gotten distracted...came back and the same window from yesterday was still open on my computer. :H

                    I believe I need to be on here in 20 minutes to be the same time as EST. I think it will be exciting to meet you all in chat!! I too am very grateful for all you and your support over the last year. I realized (again) last night after I tried to talk to my mom about some things...that truly NO ONE understands like you all! I really feel like this is a pretty lonely journey and no one in my "real" world understands. Even my counselor yesterday said to me...if you know you are doing something that hurts you, why would you do it? Then went on to ask me if I felt I didn't deserve to be or feel happy? I realized not even her fully 'gets it'! So thank you all for being here....I KNOW 2010 will be an amazing and successful year! I'm almost excited to get it started and KNOW tomorrow will be the start of an AF year!!!

                    See you all in a bit!!

                      Happy New Year! Goodness, SD are we to be in chat? I have never done that. I can?t stay too long but I?ve got tonic and lime and smoked peppered salmon which I can leave for those who are grazing. Who knew this time last year I would be in a world with people I have never met? You are a good thing.
                      may we be well

                                Hi SD, I know most people don't get it. I am glad we all found each other.

                                I went to chat but noonne there. I don't think I know how to use it
