Day 5!!! - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

badkitty · 12-06-2002, 05:22 AM

Wow- I cant beleive it!! I have made it to day 5. Unbeleivable really. I think the last time I went this long was probably when I had bronchitis last year around new years. Even then I probably still drank!! hahaha. Boyfriend is still using, but he wont be one for long anyhow. Tonight is usually a big drinking night for me, so this will be sort of weird,but I already have a box of fried chicken waiting for me in my fridge,and then I will get soem movies and hopefully settle in in all this cold weather.Cold weather gets me DOWN.It really limits outdoor activities for me as I am NOT a cold person,which makes me feel "blah". Any suggestions for those of you who live year round in colder than usual conditions on how to get a little physical activity in?????

Yesssssssssssssssss Badkitty! I live in the cold and snow and I'm orginally from California. Burrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Hey pass the chicken my way! What I do is stay the hell in doors as much as possible. I do tryand take my kids sledding when we have nough snow, but to go out in it just to prove a point, no way! Ha, the bus drivers here think I'm a bad mother because i don't go t the bus stop to wait for my kids (only two doors down i might add). I wait inside and look out my front window and when I see the bus, I go out on the front porch. If I'm in the wind wthout a hat or get chilled to the bone I get sick and ther goes my hearing for a long time. I do go to the mall lot just to get out of the house and walk someplace warm. I read a lot, and go on the compute a lot! I hope I helped.

Hey badkitty -

Yahoo - can we change your name to 'goodkitty' LOL!

You are doing great. I live in CA...can't help you with the snow stuff, but can tell you that I am FREEZING in CA LOL!!!

Get a Big Book from an AA meeting, curl up in a blanket with some hot cocoa and start reading!! you will enjoy every word, or at least you will learn alot, I promise.

Keep up the great work!

where abouts are you from in California? Im originally from the los angeles area but moved out to North Carolina a few years ago. I am really not used to all this cold weather and to top it off my car is very old (ive had it for 7 yrs) and there is no heat!! UGH!! Try driving to work at about 6:30 am in the cold with no heat. Yuck. Luckily I live very close to work. Im thinking about doing the mall thing, just to get a little walking in. When I am stressed (which I have been a bit for the past 5 days) I usualy excercise by riding my bike or going for a walk on the beach(well, and then after that reach for about 12 cold ones). But now it feels like neither one of those is an option. Oh summer - please return to us !!! hehehe. :hamburger

I am in Northern CA, about 45 mintues north of San Francisco! When I saw on the news last night that our nights are going to be between 38 and 42 all next week,I got the chills. that is COLD for where I live!!!

We had snow one day last year, last maybe an inch or 2 on the ground, enought for the kids to build small snowmen and play in - but the town SHUT DOWN. Schools closed and everything, we don't do cold very well around here, and snow. we dont' do that AT ALL!
have a great day!!! One day at a time!!!

Hey you guys I'm from Long beach CA and the first time I went to sanfrancisco, i think it was in a different land because it was so cold to me. Ha, i use to drive a mo-ped to work! ha, pauline too funny about the whole town shutting down! Our first snow fall here and everyone is stupid for a day until they can get into the winter mold. I'm waiting on my hubby to get home so I can do the shopping thing! It'smy time to get out by myself! I just love to walk around and talk to people, O and shop when I have money!
