    ThankyouJo, Winebox and Orchid. Hopefully i am back on track and definately AF today.I am stopping, not cutting down but feel i have "spoiled it" for June so I am opting out of my 30 day committal ( being as i already failed!!! ) and just doing one day at a time. Today I have done AF

    Thankyou all for being here, it makes THE difference in my drinking.

    Well I forgot to take something out of the freezer for tea and had to resort to poppadoms and mango chutney and no curry for tea. Didn't get dressed to go to the shop or may have been tempted by an aperatif (sp??)

    Have been drinking a bottle of lucozade lurking under the stairs for a while as ran out of ginger beer, boo :eek:

    Have been doing a wardrobe clear and sort out to keep busy and help me feel better :j I've put it off for months and months and have made a start at last thanks to another thread. Big pile to ebay after the first clearance and a long way to go :o. How to live a Saturday night on the edge eh? Clear out the old and bring in the new :j

    This sounds like its turning into a sleepover party!!

    :)

    told my brothers i am needing to go to bed early (a tiny fib) and so i am not seeing them tonight - how come i am ok in virtual life but in real life people just overwhelm me

    i think folks turning up out of hte blue just doesnt work for me WHICH IS SELFISH I KNOW - we had a lovely day today and i am needing to just get some me time. I HAVENT SPENT ANYTIME WITH THIS BROTHER SINCE I WAS 16 - UM 25 YEARS AGO - HE'S EXPECTING US TO JUST 'BOND' - ASIDE BIOLOGY SADLY WE DON'T REALLY HAVE ANYTHING IN COMMON - ITS A BIT OF AN ODD SENSATION..........I SOUND A BIT HEARTLESS EH?

    bb your post was really thoughtful - hope you are ok dude x
