Good luck to everybody on keeping to your targets

evenin' all - chalking up day 3-in-a-row here, by skin of my teeth. Saw OH on my way home & one wrong word from him & that would've been IT, but all was fine so I left that wine I had at his house to stop it shouting at me here. Still not sure why I've felt so weepy today, so unlike me. OK now, watching vid of soap awards, bliss. simple things, etc.....

Hope you are all OK out there x

Oh Dear.........................

Must have been something wrong with the way the planets were lined up last night:D

I think you must be right Molly . Really struggled today myself. Had an appointment with the child mental health consultant peeps today regarding little ones autismy thinghy. All a bit stressful, being in a room with a load of people behind a one way mirror watching and recording everything. Littlun seemed to cope alright, but Mrs BHB was ..... er??... 'in bits' and stressed to the max which made me even more tense that I already was. To top the lot they can't do an exact formal diagnosis until they see him in a social situation ?? So have to go through the whole thing again somewhere else, possibly even at home. That should be a laugh in a tiny cottage with 4 man eating dogs :eek:

Anyway needless to say, Mrs BHB 'needed' a bottle of wine (much calmer now ) and I very nearly went for the stella. Decided that it would be appropriate instead to have one of my diazapam tablets. So I did and now feel much better. I have not had one before so manage to hold out fairly well and didn't really have the need before.

I decided it was better to have one tablet tonight and calm down a bit than risk popping out to the local offy later! Think now it was the right choice. I know its just a replacement for the beer, and its habit forming, but have promised myself that they are only for real close calls like today.

Sorry for the long post but the main thing is still 14 for me please

Hope everyone else is OK & sorry for unloading on you lot without even reading back through to find out how everyone is

Best Wishes
Stoned Andy

PS. Good these - can see why they are addictive too :eek:

Well i struggled through last night and it remained a AFD, but i've already failed tonight. I'm on my 2nd bottle of stella now but still feel shattered so i'm going to go to bed and sleep. My bro has collapsed and the excess weight he has doesn't help, as well as the drinking every day etc. So its another motivation for me to sort my crap out, so how do i handle this i get a beer - i don't even like beer, but i poured the wine away. I suppose it could have been worse and i went for a bottle of wine.
Well done to everyone working so hard, Fay - i'm so jealous and i've only got 5000 words to write!!! ( i think my problem will be understanding what i'm writing about;)) BHB -be careful and take care of yourself.
i think if the planets were out last night i'm still feeling it!!! jo - You okay dear???

Well done, BHB, on not caving in. Stoned :rotfl: but better than alcohol, I'm sure :eek:. That sesion sounds an ordeal for you all. I know my reaction would have been the same as Mrs BHB :beer:

I hope Jo is OK, but perhaps she can't get to the computer if DD is doing her coursework ... ?? :j
