    Health and Wellness for Modders...What is your plan for 2009???

    Darn, I've been faithful about keeping my food diary, but my weight is the same in spite of this food control tool and faithful exerciuse. I went XC skiing this afternoon for two hours - it was great! I will try meditation strategies to curb my evening munchies.
    My life is better without alcohol, since 9/1/12. My sobriety tool is the list at permalink 236 on the toolbox thread under monthly abstinance.

          I just want to say, again, how much I admire the regulars who post here and on your regular Mod Squad thread. You really are wonderful models and teachers about how to develop and stay committed to a serious program of recovery from alcohol dependence (or abuse). I absolutely believe that making a genuine commitment, and making a plan, and cultivating our determination to change our thinking and our behavior, so as to NOT let alcohol destroy our lives is the only path to success. It doesn't just "happen" by doing the same old things, and thinking the same old ways, hoping that things will get easier!

                Health and Wellness for Modders...What is your plan for 2009???

                My plan for 2009:

                K.I.S.S.
                Keep It Simple Stupid

                1. I will live my life in moderation.
                One piece of chocolate is yummy, they whole slab is not
                One glass of wine is lovely, the whole bottle not
                One hour of TV is a treat, the whole day on the couch is not
                One hour of DB time a week is essential, all week only DB is just selfish
                One hour of reading each day is educational, ignoring the family to finish a gripping novel is unsociable

                2. I will be mindful of my actions and thoughts
                Snapping at my daughter because she will take it is not acceptable
                Being grumpy with my husband because I've had a crap day is not on
                Ignoring my parents and family because I don't feel like talking is hurtful
                Not communicating my thoughts and actions clearly at work causes confusion

                3. I will continue to peel back the layers to discover who is DeeBee
                This is a difficult one to explain but there is a book called "The Journey" by Brandon Bays which I wish to explore further.

                4. I will learn.

                          Only a week later and I find I am not meeting my goals. TBH I am taking strain since I quit smoking, it has brought on my craving for AL ten-fold. I find myself craving a glass of wine at the oddest times and have to wonder if it is related to quitting the twaks or if it's the next stage in my journey.... what ever it is, I feel very unsettled. My comfort zone has been interrupted.

                            Hey Dee-Bee. I'm day 16 of 30 days and I found myself lying in yoga class this morning thinking about a nice cold glass of white. Hmmm. My colour of choice was red and I wasn't a daytime drinker. I'm so determined to do the 30 days, but am feeling like I'm obsessing about the Unobtainable. So maybe you're not alone in the 'oddest time' cravings, and its all part of the normal routine for some. Keep on Going! B.x
