Saturday nights are so dull. I think I may go up to bed and read my book in a bit.

Geez-you miss a day here and everything happens at once!

Rella-I'm so sorry about your situation with your mom and your brother.I know I'm late but *hugs* to you. That can't be easy at all.

Hi ro, ananda, dee, wooli, stoney and everyone else here today!I hope you're all doing well.

I have my sister's birthday dinner to go to tonight which I'm not looking forward to.She always brings a bottle of wine to share with me as we're the only two who used to drink.I'm not sure what I'm going to say exactly but I'm hoping I can just keep it simple and say 'Im not drinking tonight' and not get questioned.Her birthday is hardly the time to announce I'm an alcoholic.I hate these situations.Ugh.

I'm not going to drink though.

Good luck Jules. Just say you have a headache or something. That usually works for my missus when she is trying to get out of things

Me and the my other half are having a minor disagreement because I want to break going to her mums all day wedding by going to see a friend and then go to a meeting. Also because I did not go out on the stag night tonight. I really should tell her that I need to put myself first when it comes to recovery.

In other more positive news tomorrow is day 14.

Jules thank you sweets!

Glad you are not going to drink! Glad you are back to btw!

Sending you positive thoughts to get through tonight-Hang in there sweets!
You can do this!

Morning Jules & Rella & Wooli (LOL how many ppl posted when Jules got here??? LMAO)

Jules - I'd hope 'I'm not drinking' will be enough...it's not like she hasn't heard that before from you, is it?

but if she gets bratty LOL...the ol' 'I'm on antibiotics and need to drive some heavy machinery later' excuse should work

Rella - hope things are better....

D

Jules62

Thanks guys-it helps just to know I have your support. Rella-I appreciate the positive thoughts, greatly.

LOL about heavy machinery Dee! The antibiotics or headache thing could work-if I'm pushed to explain. I hope I'm not though.

Anyway, it's morning here-so I have the day to prepare myself mentally.I'll be ok

Ok-time to get coffee! Thanks again :ghug2

P.S wooli-congrats on your sober time.2 weeks tomorrow?That's awesome!

Rella927

Antibiotics are a great excuse. This time in two weeks I will be in Portugal. I can't bloody wait.

Iloow

Ananda

and i found a picture of my friend! Isn't he cute!!!!!!

Iloow

I would love to live there. It's an amazing country, even if you have to have no feeling in your skin to enter the sea.

We went last year and had a great time and we are going back to the same Villa. I googled obvious sweets and it came back with links for here. I was confused immensely Nands, however I shall not pry.

Ananda

its under misc. forums/eating disorder....not really a "secret"....i take it pretty seriously, but like to joke about it here to keep perspective...i believe my first post to bottoms may have been about it...something like this:






Danger Danger Warning Warning......battle stations everyone!

gypsytears

I think I am almost caught up here.

NOT!

Hugs out to all that need or just want some.

Congratulations to everyone that made it through another day sober.

Rellz & Ro Jules & Dee thinking of you girls especially.

You too Ananda.

Stoney .

RK, Astro, RZ, Frst,Butterfly, new peeps (Soozie, woolie etc) CMC, IO,Tanya, PD, K, New Leaf, Tellus...et all.

Happy 5th of July.

The Happening wasn't a Happening movie. Put me to sleep 3 x's so far.

I will catch up with everyone soon. Things are semi-normal around here, my ear still hurts, hamstring is getting better, have cut back my yoga classes to 1 p/day... taking the gentle one in the morning though.

Thanks again Jules... I think the movie thingy is going to work as soon as I really start putting it together.

Whoever I missed, I miss you.

:ghug

Hey nands I think I need to do that obvious sweets thing. It's a big problem for me. It used to be a PMS thing but now it's a whenever thing. I need to use better coping strategies than eating.

So - I gave up booze, then cigarettes, pills, now I am working on celibacy (for the love of God!) - and now - sweets?
WTF will be left?

Ananda

well just remember I have a wealth of knowledge on the celebacy deal! I know on that one the longer you are away from the last slip....the less it bothers you!
