The 2012 Challenge

[1sunworshipper]

Dave, you need to have a follow up review with your GP to let them know how you are now, I would recommend you make an appointment soon.

Dave...really sorry to hear that you're feeling low....and Im not sure that I'm really qualified to help as Im so new here....

But I can relate to you wanting to be talking to folks you know - I didn't want to move from the 7 day thread because it felt a bit like a life support system - and I felt the same when I moved on from the two week thread....but I guess that's what this journey is all about - moving forward a bit every now and again.

A few posts - and a good look around - and I'm sure you'll start to feel at home again soon. The three week thread is a homely place too if you'd like to join in.....?? You'd be surrounded by girls mind you....Im sure you could handle that though!!!

I haven't ventured to the Late Lounge or to the bucketeers yet....as everyone looks as if they know each other really well and I'm a bit phased if Im honest!!! But for me reading comments from folks who have experience of what this journey feels like is really really useful....I'm sure if you've been here for a bit you've got some great advice to share too....

Take care.....and have a good evening

this LL doesn't do it for me,, its hard to follow

and chat rooms don't do it

I want ,,, like PM on Facebook.. you see someone you know online and go for a quick chat

[Oldenough2knowbetter]

I haven't done chat rooms either... I do use Facebook but not the chat facility.

Dave, how about the general chat thread? Or I know you're over a year sober but the one year milestone thread has lots of lovely friendly people, myself and Ragnar included

All going well here, keeping busy and been out a lot. All AF places!! I have more time in the day now to do so many things instead of sleeping off the wine. OH can't believe that I am actually doing a bit of essential sewing here ~ now that is one thing that always goes on the back burner!!
Hope you are all ok. We are going away for the best part of 2 weeks, depending on the weather so that is something to look forward to but also a big AF challenge.....

44 Checking in.. Not up to much, just sitting on my hands waiting until my next BIG milestone to arrive Very happy to do this sober..

#26 checking in. Linda, I just can't picture you sitting around waiting for a milestone. Isn't it more like you don't do alcohol full stop so nothing new to report on the AF front? Anyways, you are an inspiration.

Dave ~ what is this? An extra early start to the DIY?!
Morning all ~ off away today so shouldn't be here but had to wish you all the very best!!

No dave bud, i mean i am sitting on my hands ( to stop me keep coming one here ) No i am just busy doing this/ that and the other, so can not find time to get on BE very much these days. But when i can i do. So many new faces, and half of them do not even reply back so that is also another reason..But i am not complaining I was using BE too much and i am far happier in myself because now i am not here on BE every day, then i am not talking about drink or thinking about it (you need it to be in you brain to talk about it... So im happy

Roma I so love your avatar it makes me smile everytime I see it. You have a great break won't you

Linda, I know exactly what you mean, I for one have always found strength from your posts so I would appreciate it if you don't disappear for too long cos I often need a kick up the backside to remind me why I'm doing this.

N° 45b passing through to say “Hello, how are you doing, are you still on track?” and to compliment everyone that replies, “Yes, of course, you fool!!!” The folk that don’t say that get a round of applause and a clap on the back

[Ed]

aye. sort of. my 2012 challenge is 320 AF days but im wondering if that is allowed. Is the 2012 challenge a total sobriety challenge? if so i shall leave and never darken this doorway again...

I have had 70 AF days out of 77.

[George]

Hey Ed

No-one can be expected to be perfect. As long as you do your very best and make a good hard try at it then you get a clap on the back and are expected to have made the christmas cake and New Year's dinner for all, ok

[1sunworshipper]

#21 checking in and hoping everyone is well and those of you in the UK certainly in the South enjoy what we hope will be a sunny warmer week

[you're worth it]

Haven't checked on this thread for a while..........can I have a clap on the back please, George

[linda6666]

44 will be 46 in less than 3 months But a sober 46year old .. And 20 weeks and number 44 will be dancing and singing (naked if needs be ) , not a nice sight but who cares?? I will show the world that i am proud ..How time fly's
Watch this space
Don't come to close just yet, or you will catch my shingles...

[Grendelslip]

#26 reporting in. Linda - singing and dancing naked in the rain? Sounds like a healthy fun way to celebrate but folk may think you've been at the naughty juice. We at BE will of course know better.

Hope your shingles is improving. Not had it but understand it can be painful.

Edit: oh, you didn't mention rain. Obviously I subconsciously associate August with rain!!
