And how about YOU, Miss Zipp-a-Tude? I take it from your posts today that things are continuing to go well for you, cool! Yes, sometimes it's best to not over think things and just let 'em RIP. Have a good weekend: you and Max and Big Foot.

Heya!!!

So good to hear from ya Big Sis! Saturday Big Foot and I celebrated our 1 year! We went out to dinner at one of my favorite places in Detroit then went to see The Blue Man Group at the Fisher Theater. It was so much fun we promised to do this once a month, it takes that to save up enough to do so.

This weekend I let my excitment get the best of me and over did it with the cocktails. Paying for it today! I'm not going to let it get me down, I am promising to start putting moderation techniques into play. Starting with an AF day today! Forcing more AF day's and really start putting more effort into this thing. I am really tired of feeling like this!

Have a great week!

Zip! Congratulations to you and Big Foot...say, will you exchange Toe Rings @ the altar???

Sounds like your last # of weeks have been very, very good and so last weekend was just a bit of an extinction burst, right? And those nal-overs are quite reinforcing in their cruelty, OMG...Nal on!

OMG you are not kidding! I am so thankful last week was somewhat back under control, the nal-overs where cruel! We have the promise of a new day each and every day! j



Sounds like we could start a new tradition! I can picture that...

Thanks for being here!

Zippy, that is WAY "huge", and I bet that is because you KNOW you are overcoming your alcohol addiction, and no longer have to beat yourself up for "having no control". Sure, there are still some hangovers and overdoing it, but less and less, right? We're gettin' there, and even the hangovers are WAY better than the pre-TSM self loathing. We've had enough of a reaction to Nal to know it will work (though not as fast as we'd like).

We GO, Girl!!!

Oh, there you are, Zippy!

I'm really glad you're getting to fly again: you're right, you need something fun and engaging to help not be so caught up in the other..."less good" stuff that is going on .

Well, I also admit I've been playing it a little fast and lose w/ the "ONE RULE"...60 minutes becomes 30, more often. Lizard Brain is stickin' out it's Lizard Foot and tripping me up some. The AFs are pretty easy, but the Moderate Days??? Not so much. But we will get there, and I'm glad you've showed up, suited up and are ready to get another run @ it.

Today is my 5th anniversary of getting married in the backyard...remember your goals and how much progress you can make by then!

Hey there! You've been..."Zipper-lipped" for a while now... Whatever is going on w/ you, your TSM pals are thinking about you and sending you a positive Force Field !

Hey Guys and Gals!

My lizard brain wouldn't shut off, I kept drinking through the nal and eventually got so bad I was drinking mouth wash. Lost 3 days in some kind of blacked out drunken stooper, missed work never called in, bad...

I decided to go back into treatment and that it's best for me not to drink at all.

I stopped in to check my journaling as part of my recovery now. Thought I'd send a quick note to let ya's know I'm alive and have been sober for 30 days.

Thank you all so very much for your support!

Love and best wishes,
Zippy

Glad you've found your way back but sorry you have had such a rough time. Keep us posted as we can learn from your experiences and support you as you get back to your previous "better place"

Hi Zip - thanks for checking in.

That sounds like you had quite a bender*, but good on you for realizing the the best solution for you right now is to not drink at all. Congrats on the 30 days AF - that's quite an achievement.

*Mouthwash!? Oh man, that's the worst. When I was in college, I was so hammered that I did that once. The next day, one of my friends asked me why I was chugging Scope and I was like: "What? What are you talking about?" I couldn't even remember it. He still gives me sh*t about the "Scope Incident" to this day.

Do pop in every once and awhile and let us know how you're doing. Best of luck.
