Thats what this thread is all about. Support and understanding and the ability to shoot off at different tangents that bear no relation to the subject matter we are all here for :T

4 for me please Miss P. I doubt there willl be another one to post for a while as I am off on my Hols Thursday morning so will be unable to log on for about a week :eek: Hope you all behave yourself on here and if not .....Good

2AF please Miss Piggy.

I'm a bit tired to post much tonight and those disgusting feet :eek:

This thread is impossible. You're either cooking or ebaying coats or flashing legs but those feet are just too much :rotfl:

Sorry you're feeling down Caz, shiny new day (well after the hangover wears off)

BHB, we're all excellent at the excuses for drinking but at the moment I think you have a genuine reason.

Well done jo, do you think there was any connection between that and the pressie from OH? Does he know do you think?

Bon Vacances YM, enjoy the bacon!

Well done everyone else on an AF night if you've managed it and if you haven't I hope you enjoyed it !!!

I am !!!!ed off, angry and drunk. :mad:

I HATE work (I was crying this afternoon). I have scoffed lots of booze this evening when I promised myself I wouldn't.

I am feeling total poo. Probably my worst post so far.

Very unimpressed with myself.

On a positive note, after the wine, it all doesn't seem so bad.

On a reality note, in the morning, I am going to have to cope with the mountain of !!!!!! work I have to deal with and the complaining clients I just wish would crawl away into their scabby holes (like I wish to do myself) AND a hangover.

Marvellous.

This is serious. I used to drink to change the way I felt.
Dangerous road to go down - feel rubbish, then drink and feel better. A nasty pattern emerges.

In reality, what I was doing was burying those feelings until later.
If I had a bad day and get ripped into by the boss, I would often drink heavily. However, the next day those feelings of fear, self-loathing, etc were still there. AND a hangover to boot.
The feeling of hopelessness was there for me too - I would promise myself I wouldn't drink, but then after I had a drink I would be angry at myself for caving in.

Thank god it doesn't have to be like that any more

Hope you are feeling better today caz - it is just one day and today is a new one

Morning
Caz hope you are okay.
Bells were ringing at 9pm as BB started, urge-surfed through it.
I love that springwatch girl post, in fact when I went AF through May, I did receive comments that I looked really well.

Miss P, I'd like to adjust target to 14. Unless the powers that be add another 2 days to month of August I don't think I'll acheive. So far I'm 2/14.

However I am going totally AF September and possibly October. I know the wise amongst us say one day at a time, but my vague long term plan is to be ready to stop for good 2010.
