    Jon so glad to hear that you are at last picking up and not drinking as much. I have kept doing a: where are you post?

    So I am really glad to hear from you, and yes you do need the time off work and I hope that things continue to get better for you now.

    Re: the footy glad you got the result that you wanted :cool:

    Please don't leave it so long before you post again.

    Lots of love and do take care

    Hi all early finish tonight so been catching up on millions of posts.

    Hello to all the new people!

    Lillibet: i work in a kitchen and we don't stop serving till ten then have to clean everything and close it up. My bright blue nails are hidden under my ugly chef shoes but i know they're blue and will be unleashed after midnight haha.

    Fedupandskint: I also have werewolf drinking activtiy. Every 28ish days i have strong urges to just go out get drunk and be a non sensible mom type person and more a reckless idiot type person. If i resist the feeling lasts between 4 and 7 days. If i get drunk it ends with the hangover.

    Fay: sparkly purple sound great unleash them from the socks!

    Jo: sadly my fingernails are fingernail colour until tomorrow now that i start my 5 days off.

    40SM: loving the sound of a mars party!

    Maz: I really could have written your post myself, prat is the word i use to describe myself. Once i've had one drink its such a good idea to get drunk. I can almost even hear a voice saying go on kelly have a drink it's fun and i'm like yeah ok. then it all turns into a drunken blur and im left feeling guilty and hurt and dissapointed in myself.

    I've realised since joining this forum that i have discovered a drinking problem which i believe most of the one side of my family have and stopped it before it becomes any worse. Although my last drinking session could have brought my whole world crashing down i'm so stupid. I will never ever let myself turn into that person again. I love my little family i've made and i would never want anything to change that. Why my other drunken side wants to ruin my life is beyond me. I could not be more different when i am drunk and that scares me.

    Anyway another AF day for me yay! I'm really proud. Night out on friday will be the test.

    Thank you all so much for being my inspiration to do well and sense to change.

    :hello: WOW it's been busy on here tonight!

    Welcome Posie, starting drinking early is fatal. I think you did well to remember how much you got through!

    Eselt, I'm confident I caught my cold/chest infection on here in April hope we don't end up with scabies!

    Sorry to see you leave Miss P, I think you're being too hard on yourself. Be back soon.

    Back on the wagon tonight.

    AF4 for me please BB.

    'night all.

    Quick tip - stir in 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper powder :D

    Makes all the difference ;)
