THEN I shall dance naked in the moonlight - and hope to God that no-one is around 'cos that would NOT be a pretty sight - LOL

ROTFLMBO!! That is hilarious!! Yes instead of putting ourselves on the CURED list, Maggie, we can all dance naked in the moonlight!! The only problem is that I don't think I could do that sober. Seriously, thank you, Maggie for your usual cheering me on and encouraging me and worrying about me and all of us. You really do have a heart of gold.

and Jaba - thank you for your kind words. I am honored to think I might be helping someone. AND thank you for taking the time to read my thread and remind me because No, I had FORGOTTEN about the affirmations. They did help me and I am going to start them again. Affirmations sound so silly but truly they have worked for me in a lot of areas. I just didn't do them for long enough with the AL. Thank you for reminding me.

So - as they say in Savannah - Nal on, Y'all!! Newlife

You are from Savannah newlife? I thought it was fairly common for the folks of Savannah to dance naked through old grave yards at night or something

I love Savannah. My wife and I have been going almost every year on our way to our usual long weekend trip to St. Augustine. Gosh, Savannah sure is a drinking town too! I've spent enough St. Patricks days there and hardly remember a single one But what a beautiful city. I need to check out Charleston one of these days.

Sounds like you are coming along nicely with the TSM.

LOL Ocean - no, it was me that was going to dance naked in the moonlight when I was finally cured - but I had said that it would not be a pretty sight !!

Hugs, Maggie x

Now you've done it. Can't unsee that image.
This forum is slowly taking on the character of a coven.
Maybe that will WORK!

Steve

ROTFLMB !!!!!!!

LOL - no Ocean, I am not from Savannah but I just vacationed there for 5 days so had the Southern accent stuck in my head. I love it too. Nice tradition to go there every year.

A coven - Ok, instead of affirmations we can make up some spells to aid TSM.

" Take your apple and carve the name of your addiction on it with your boline. Then, spread the black salt on it so the word is easily visible. Go outside and dig a hole two apples deep. Place the stuff representing your addiction with your DNA on it into the hole. Now, place your apple in the hole. As you are covering the items in the hole with dirt, imagine yourself quiting the addiction forever. Finally, stand on top of the stuff and say, "This addiction I shall stop, as this fruit in the ground rots." You won't quit cold turkey, so don't worry if it doesn't work right away. "

Steve - you are cracking me up !!!!!!! LOVE your sense of humour !! ONE day we will meet up !

I am sitting at my desk at work cracking up, thanks for the laugh Steve. (But what if it really WOULD work??) LOL Newlife

Steven, I had to google "boline". Where in the world did you come up with that?
