    Hi Guys :hello:

    Sorry this is just a very quick post as just got in, been out all day at work and then I have been to my meditation class which is a few miles away. But the most local to me at the moment.

    Logged on to see how our Darling Jo has gone on at the doctors. Was at the class tonight trying to empty my mind but kept thinking about Jo and hoping she was ok.

    So Jo sweetheart I know you are scared at the moment but if you do stop drinking then your liver will improve, just look how bad Eselt's was and how fantastic her liver has improved since she stopped drinking. YOU REALLY MUST now try and stay off the alcohol and get yourself healthy again. You are still so young and gorgerous as well from your pic :). But as you know yourself you must now take care of yourself, not only for you but for your darling children.

    You have a chance now to change but as I have already said you can never change your past. I hope that you can stay af? I really don't know what else to say just PLEASE DO TAKE CARE and you can do this. You have the inner strength, you are strong enough.

    Sorry to go on but its the first thing I have done when I walked in tonight was to log on and see how you had gone on. You have been on my mind all day.

    Hugs my Darling Jo and here is an :A to watch over you. Wish I could give you a big squeezy hug ((())). xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    So to everyone I am sorry but I shall have to catch up properly on Friday as I have stuff to do before I go to bed.
    Hope everyone is ok and I will tell you about my meditation class later, nice though. :)

    Fay I have posted your prize today, very organised for me ;) I have sent it first class and the lady said you could get it tomorrow? With our post that would be a miracle ;) Ignore the outside wrapping it gets better inside, well it should do? Might just need the top plumping ;) I hope you like it and it gets to you intact? Will spoil it if it doesn't. Would have hand delivered it but you live a bit far :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Gc hugs matey and I shall catch up with your posts. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Hi to any new people, good luck and take care. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    40sm hope the little ones are better and you are ok to? As I said last night I am af tonight and tomorrow. Hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Ok gotta dash, will catch up with you all on Friday. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Jo please do take care, we all do worry about you and want you to be well. God bless Angel xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Love n hugs guys
    Budgie xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    Cherish the ones you love and travel back on the road that brings you home :)

    Well now we are on a mission eh to get your enzymes down.
    What was it that the springwatchgirl post said about after a certain amount of weeks we'd be all bright and sparkly????

    MP will remember ?[/QUOTE)

    Post By Springwatchgirl.....

    Well, week 5 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.

    Hope the above link works:rolleyes:
    This song means so much to me I thought I would share it with you all...especially Jo.....

    It carried me through some very dark times when my drinking was at its worst, my marriage was very nearly over....found drunk in the gutter and taken home in a police car...the shame.....please everyone ....don't go there.

    If you can just cut down then good luck.But if you feel you have the slightest problem with alcohol...Stop now.

    And remember,.....Take Care of you.

    (OK....that was a bit deep for me) But a lot of posts on here over the last few days have really got to me:o
