Hi everyone :hello:

Just wanted to send everyone the very best good wishes for the weekend. It will be the first time since I joined that the forum will not be available.

It is reading the posts that have helped me when I felt like giving in and having a glass of wine.

So Hp I intend to stay af and I hope I do? Kinda worried to be honest that if I do have a drink that I will get the taste for it again? Though I was not an everynight drinker I just had a problem with knowing my limits when I did start. A common issue me thinks?
Btw sorry to hear you have bike problems I hope you get it sorted for the weekend? Take care and hugs xxxxx

Quickly before I go just wanted to say: Upsy glad to see you back sweetheart, take care and good luck. Hugs xxxx

Ld glad you are feeling happier in yourself and good luck when you take up your new post. Hugs xxxxx

BsNtc have a good weekend and I hope you get a winner in the Grand National, hey your a winner in my eyes. Take care Angel and stay lucky. Hugs xxxxx

Wbf Hugs and take care it will be strange for us all not to have our virtual support but please look after yourself and I hope the weekend goes well for you? Lots love xxxxx

Dear Lurky and the Lovely Esther as we have a free weekend are you planning another trip into the woods? If you are then Esther please wrap up warm and take an extra jumper :j Hugs to you both and the family. xxxxxx

Eselt dig down in those trenches and I will see you Monday, have a good weekend and take care. Hugs xxxx

Fedup hugs to you and Mr Dog have a good weekend and please take care. xxxxx

To all the newbies it seems a shame that as you have joined that we won't have the forum for the weekend so wishing you all the best and we will catch up with you on Monday. Hugs xxxxx

Miss P have a good weekend with Piglet and enjoy your us time. Lots love and hugs xxxxx

40sm yes you can not drink on either Sat or Sun and that will mean you will still be on for your target. So wishing you all the best and have a good weekend. Hugs xxxxx

Oh and on that note, Molly Polly, HAPPY BIRTHDAY :bdaycake: for Friday 3rd April. (I mean your real birthday, I have got that right haven't I?) Also hope that you enjoyed your break away and had a good anniversary? Also that Dh enjoyed his birthday too?

Please let me know that I have got the above right and that I am not rambling? :eek:

Anyways sweetheart glad to have you back and I hope all is well with you?

JUST TWO DAYS TO GO NOW To your 1st af birthday, Absolutely amazing. :T

Btw I am going to let you into a little secret. :shhh:

Its reading your signature: af since 7/4/08 that inspires me not to have a drink, I keep thinking that if I do just have one drink then its kinda spoiling how well I have done so far.

Told you I was competitive But seriously I keep asking myself is it really worth it?

Time I guess will tell?

But this week is your week my darling, just look how well you have done and how far you have come. Its fantastic and I can only send you my love and very best wishes and to say THANKYOU for always being here and supporting everyone. :T

You are the: "JEWEL IN OUR CROWN"

With love and respect

Hi BB,
LOL, you did get it right...all of it.
I have had a lovely time away and wasnt even tempted to have any alcohol although I thought I might be....I just kept thinking of the hangover that nearly ruined last years celebrations...and thought...never again.
Everyone is doing so well on here with the challenges and I feel so proud to be a part of all this.
As for my sig..I am glad that it encourages others to be AF.That was something that has kept me going...knowing I would have to explain myself on here...and believe me Being Alcohol Free 'IS WORTH IT'.
Only one more day now and my year is up....how time flies..
Thanks for your praise and good wishes, and I really couldnt have done this without everyones support on here.
You really are all wonderful!!!
Hope everyone else is ok and enjoying the weekend.
Take care
Love Mollypollyxxxx
