    Please dont cry Jo.
    You can do this...you have done it before for weeks at a time.
    Good on you for joining the school PFA.That means you cant really have a drink now as it would be smelt on your breath later and also I presume you have to drive there.
    Make yourself busy...do some ironing, clean some windows...KEEP OUT OF THE KITCHEN if thats where you have got it stashed away.:rolleyes:
    Good luck, Stay strong and remember......

    Molly's watching and she's got the whip out;)

    See yopu all later
    Love Mollypollyxxxx

    Thanks Molly, I wouldn't drink before I went anyway, not only would they be able to tell but I feel safe once I know I'm not going anywhere. I hate this :(

    Sorry to be miserable, you are all doing so well :)

    Jo, I'm finding it harder the last few days too. I swear it is the weather. I have just got in and it is so lovely outside and normally I would pour myself a large glass of something very cold and potter in the garden come 6pm. Bliss! But I mustn't.......not until the weekend anyway but that isn't making it any easier right now :confused: Aaaaarrrggghhhh :eek:

    hello everyone!
    i was not af yesterday after having 5 great af days on a run, i was given a bottle of my favourite cider and the money saver in me thought 'i'm not wasting it' i sat down last night and had two large galsses and was enjoying them, but stopped and thought what was i doing after being so good! i threw the rest down the drain, before i could drink it, so i was very pleased with myself for doing that.
    also i bought online and it came today Alan Carr's book on Easy ways to control alcohol, so i am going to sit down with a large glass of diet ginger beer and start reading the book.
    good luck to everyone jo-jo

    Jo, I hope it's getting a bit better now and the bells are beginning to fade.

    i agree that the nice weather makes it more difficult - very srong associations of warm evenings and cold wine.
    Having a funny old day today - don't really feel quite 'right' IYSWIM. i think I need an early night.


    (not yet though, that would be a little extreme)

    Another one for me please Happyshopper.
    Feel dreadful, have picked up some horrible sickness bug and can only just manage a cup of tea.
    Have finished all house and kids jobs and will be off to bed shortly to feel sorry for myself _pale_
    Really dont want to miss The Apprentice though as result is always in paper next day!
