hi guys off in Scotland on a residential course at today, was stressed and escaped to local shop for a bottle wine but got there and thought why.

Bought crisps instead!

Hope u all good x

Catch up
Properly later x x

Ps E am ok bit of a wobbly weekend - shared a bottle wine with a pal which turned into two and ended up humilating myself - once it gets past a couple I don't seem to stop. I never learn. Spent the next few days feeling stupid.

B hi x

Hey Fay- you are absolutely not stupid, look what you do, work, PhD, kids, house, relationships.......I'm exhausted just thinking about it, I think you are phenomenal.

Bis-you're back!!!!! Hurrah!!!!! I always worry when Captain Bismark disappears for a while, and GC for that matter- you are our rocks guys.

Talking of rocks, Molly, I am starting to feel so emotional about your achievement, you are just incredible, well done and thank you so much for all the support you've given me and everyone else on here. You are a warm, caring, wonderful person and I'm so pleased you joined this thread-a lot of us couldn't tackle our demons without your input, and I am really really grateful. Enjoy tomorrow.

Hope everyone else is OK tonight- catch you later.

AF2 for me please, HS.


Usual struggle to tell myself I'm not drinking tonight but I took the Kudzu and a big glass of fizzy water and I'm here! It's really silly but I'm sure I miss the anticipation more than the wine itself. Reading a bit of chick-lit tonight and they seemed to be cracking open a bottle of wine on every page and I so wanted to join in! I'm off to NYC tomorrow so unlikely to clock up another AF day until after Easter. Have a good week everyone and good luck.

:A This is for you Molly Polly!!

**Upsy_Daisy**

I hate Threshers and their 3 for 2 offer almost as much as I hate myself

Needless to say I am stuck on 1 AFD :mad::mad:

Just checked in really to say well done to Molly Polly - you really are an inspiration:T:T:A:T:T:j:T:T:A:T:T

(Remember this from a post by Springwatchgirl?)

Well, ONE YEAR of no alcohol and I see a different person in the mirror. My eyes no longer look dull and vacant, they actually have a little sparkle and my skin doesn't look like uncooked pastry anymore. I feel that I have won a battle but not yet the war. Hope everyone else is at the point they want to be, I never want to be that person I was, I have been tempted but I just think back to what I had become. The sun is shining at the moment and I feel good and want to continue to have the sun in my life.

This says it all.

Thanks Guys......I couldnt have done it without you.

(I dont normally like to name names for fear of missing someone out but would like to say special thanks to Bismarck for his words of wisdom,also Jo, BHB and Lurky who have been there since the beginning, and also InSearchOfMe for starting the thread.)


Night night, sleep tight.See you tomorrow.
All my Love
Mollypollyxxxx

ETA Thanks for all your good wishes.

mollypolly

Happy Birthday jo.
