WB, had a carrot for a nose, mushrooms for ears (??) and a hat and scarf! Still stood up proud in the garden!

Fay, thanks for sticking with me, although just had to go to the shop to get some natural yoghurt cos I put too much chilli powder in my curry, came out with just the yog thou Feeling very proud of myself...albeit VERY jittery...tonight....looking forward to a mint feast and a mars bar after dinner :eek: :eek: :rolleyes:

Had to add...for those that might be interested and those that realise that I suffer from shaking due to drinking...shaking has stopped today, haven't had a drink since Friday

Hi thanks to glasgowgirl, winebox, grey pilgrim, miamoo and eselt for your kind thoughts.

I have been to the Dr's as the whiplash has kicked in big style. Will be stiff as a board tomorrow I think and v.painful. The shock has worn off now and the adrenaline has calmed down.

Still AF today so 2/24. More worried about my lovely little motor being written off and only being able to afford a rubbish high mileage one with a low compensation payment. Hoping with fingers crossed it gets sorted out and I get my reliable lovely car back together again!

Hi everyone, hope you are all safe and well?

Fedup so sorry to hear of your accident this morning it is so upsetting. Outside my work tonight a car and van collided which ended up with the poor car in a lampost. Luckily both drivers seemed ok but still an awful thing to happen. So please take care, big hugs. xxxxx

Glasgow Girl seems I have ordered the same Allen Carr book as you, it has good reviews so lets compare how we both find it? I'm hoping it does the trick, lets see? Though it does seem to focus on giving up and not cutting down. Hugs xxx

Winebox another afd thanks for keeping the scores, take care. Stay warm its freezing here too. Hugs xxxx

Molly Polly sending you hugs, you have done so well on your journey to stay af, I can see what you mean about the stress of constantly not drinking. However I found with myself that although I didn't drink everyday I have issues with being able to trust myself to stay within limits? I guess you have to ask the question that if you drink again could you trust yourself to do it in moderation? Lots of love xxxxx

Miamoo so glad your mystery meet up went well, your doing great on that alcohol front. Hugs xxxxx

Miss P seems you will be the first to get the Allen Carr book, (wish I'd paid for next day delivery now). Let us know please what you think? Hugs xxx

Jo and Ntc well done, both of you take care and look after yourselves. Hugs xxx

IN A LOUDER VOICE, STILL NO POLAROID OR BHB, if you are about please let us know you are ok?
Hugs xxxxx

Lurkio and Esther, Hi are you enjoying the rest of managing that target sheet? Hope you and your family are well and enjoying the snow? Hugs and take care xxx

So take care everyone and stay safe and warm.
Love n Hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi all, do you mind if I join? I've typed and deleted this post so many times now but it's really, really hard to post it. Like finally admitting I've got a problem I suppose!

Won't prattle on just yet, suffice to say my drinking's out of hand and I need to do something about it but I'm not aure I can, at least not alone? I've been on the AA website but it all looks a bit scary...

Thanks
