    However I would also like to say that i'm definately joining the cutting down not the giving up club! ;) If I can control my drinking during the week I intend to continue to enjoy my units at a weekend.. not perfect but a large improvement for me. If its okay I would like to join and set myself a target of 16 AF days for June, thank you. x

    So i've just popped on to wave and say thank you, i'm sure there are many of us lurkers learning all the time from yourselves

    Welcome Time2growup ( another great name).

    I have added you to my list for June. Well done on your 3 days so far.

    Help!! wine bells are seriously clanging for me at the moment :eek: was hoping to get to Saturday....going to have my tea then get a bath and see if I can 'surf the urge'

    Hi Orchid,
    My wine bells are clanging really loudly. DS1 is in a foul mood because I sent him to school (when he was obviously really ill:mad:) . Ds2 is tormenting DS1 who is really grumpy because he his really tired . Bedtime has got to come soon !!

    pick up the phone, ring someone, and ask how they are. Especially someone going through a hard time. You'll forget about your urges:T

    Welcome Timetogrowup :wave:

    Orchid, good luck with the wine bells :)

    BHB, congratulations :D:D:D

    Fay, where the hell are ya, we wanna know what's in the parcel!!

    Just got back, took kids to the Natural History Museum and then a butterfly exhibition, I'm cream crackered, then did Tesco, came home started the dinner, went out to vote, dished kids dinners up and now waiting for mine.....now waiting patiently for Big Bro!! Though Americas Got Talent and Lie To Me is on at the same time :mad:

    Had a lovely day with the kids, lucky the museum was free cos I spent a fortune in the gift shop then found I had a parking ticket on my car :mad: :mad: :mad: plus I won't have £50 before the 14 day cut off so I'll probably have to pay £100 :(

    Other than that, I'm sober, day 4 will be AF and all's good (apart from the vertigo and the fact I've gotta get up early for work tomorrow :rolleyes:)

    FAY............WHERE ARE YOU????????????????
