    how are you Jo Hope you are good.

    Hiya Fay, I'm good (ish!), done a lot of soul searching over the last week and reality has hit here big time....but knowing what's going on is good rather than burying my head as usual.. How's you? x

    For some reason I thought it would be a great idea to have drink on saturday night. 25 days of alcohol-freeness wasted.

    I felt as agitated and anxious the next morning as I did in december, so now I am convinced that it's the beer that is the root of the anxiety thing. Feel like a complete and utter failure now.

    Suppose all I can do is reset the clock again. Lurkio, I'm 11/12 at the moment mate.

  • Wiis Good :D
