    :hello:MOS. Welcome..

    Jo, you just detailed the argument between angel and demon pefectly...exactly what I go through. Your posts have a definete up beat, lightness about them recently.

    Now I have a little dream, posted it on my diary, a nice little villa in Barbados some day, for when I'm a Granny (not wishing my life away here) was a dream of DH's too. I'm not gonna get there on the last dregs of the Christmas whisky feeling sorry for myself re car/DS2/ or anything else I want to whinge about. Get rid of these addictions, get out of debt and learn to live again.

    Glad to see the back of last week. Bring it on !

    Morning 40SM, how you feeling today :)

    ETA: sorry it's afternoon, time flies etc etc...

    Hi Jo,

    Sorry I didn't get back to you yesterday , I went shopping & then got all cosy with Marian Keyes book and then never got a chance to get back in here.

    I felt ok yesterday, just a bit tired. I was just a bit disappointed that I had given in to the wine on Friday evening. The stupid thing was I didn't really want the wine . Just felt I needed a reward after a stressful week:confused:. Old habits die hard ;) . Anyways I am still well within my target of 20 days ( will be on 11 by tonight ) so am not going to worry too much about it.

    I have not yet read back through yesterdays posts so hope you are ok:A

    Hi So Sad Angel

    I am hoping that being on here will have the same effect on me and keep me sober, but I know it is early days.....

    I've not come across YM's scary eyes yet, will have to go have a look - can you point me in the right direction?

    MOS
