    Budgie, hope you start to pick up soon and that you get a good night's sleep.

    Well done to you BHB on your AF day and to all others who've managed one.

    Good luck for tomorrow Jo, we'll be thinking of you.

    I've had wine bells tinkling for hours. I considered 'cheating' by swapping tonight for a day at the weekend. But told myself I wasn't allowed a drink under my rules (not a weekend and not socialising) and amazingly I listened! Stuck to water and hot Ribena and only a small piece of cheese as a munch.

    3AF please Miss P.

    'night all :A

    Morning all:hello:

    I am up early to try and get a couple of hours work done before the boys get up:eek:. Then I have promised to make chocolate chip cookies with them:D . I will then be going into the office in the afternoon to do some "proper work ";). No doubt I will catch up with some of you later when I am " working":D

    Good luck today Jo:kisses3:


    Have a good day everyone.

    Hi all,

    Slept ok but other 1/2 struggled to sleep till 1am! New day & all that & every day she'll get a bit better from her latest 'blip'..Really proud of myself as yesterday was STRESSFULL & no alcohol! Acheived my personal target of 7 days AF (obviously still aiming at 21 days af free in Aug as agreed!) but just for me will do 3 more now to make 10af free in a row! Will help me look after G/F & I also look/fee great!

    G/F has her pathways to work interview (allthat we need with her being ill!) this am but we're gonna have a structured day with gym & healthy food!

    Catch you all later!
  • Not good in DC's house. Bells clanging at 9pm again, gave in. Big Bro trigger again, Will have to start watching the morning repeat. Or just stop watching it. I don't like any of them anyway ! Sad.

    Still on 2/14 :(

    Hi all

    No AF day to report - got a bottle of wine at supermarket to have with tea. Good point though is that I shared it with OH - thus only drank half - not the full bottle - and it was with a meal not instead of

    MS shop tonight and have to buy a glass of wine - but will stick to 1 only!

    stay strong everyone
