  • Big hugs Winebox. So sorry to hear about your dad and I think you are being incredibly strong to keep to you target at all. I know if it was me I would have seen it as a great excuse to discard the idea, no common sense in that eh. I bet your dad would be really proud of what you have achieved this month and whatever you decide tonight be kind to yourself, you will be in my thoughts tomorrow

    Thanks for the good wishes everyone, just off to bed now, sober I'm pleased to say. Lurky pls can you put me down as 8/14 that covers tomorrow as well which will most certainly not be AF. Should be back Thurs eve, am staying over tomorrow night, & in the meantime hope you are all doing OK - it's quiet on here tonight hope I haven't made you all scurry away. Watch out or I'll go back to my joke book.

    good luck all! xx

    My very greatest sympathy to you winebox, I think you have been an absolute hero completing any AF days at all while coping with your father's death. If I were you I would have a drink or do whatver it takes to get you through it. You can come back to us after, whenever you're ready.

    Good to have more new people on board, welcome to any late starters.

    Not an AF day for me today. As planned, I went out for supper (pub) with friends. Wine tasted vinegary again (although didn't stop me drinking it). I think AF days must be making me more discerning. Sleep still carp last night.

    Goodnight all.
