full of mac and cheese

nearly caved in to go to supermarket when brother was going home, instead I took off my shoes and quickly got innto my pj's - was only going to let myself get a 'small can' (large glasses wine) - but am now in my beddybye clothes so no chance of me moving

sad sad sad that I have to almost cajole myself - won't say af yet as night is young......

waves to all

But well done for resisting so far, Fay :T

Hope for you that you do make it through the evening

Evening,

Really tired but AF, that is no 21 for me please YM. After picking DD up from after school club she screamed at me the whole journey that she needed a toilet and by the time we got home there was no urgency. I almost put her back into the car and drove to the shop to get sherry but didn't I think this is getting easier slowly but surely.

Well done everyone and thank you for really inspiring posts today esp Caz and Angie.

I am actually thinking of going to bed...

Oh Marru

Well done on not buying sherry - think it does get easier over time as going for the drink stops becoming the reflex action - but it's still tough sometimes.

Big hugs to you

Just remembered that I dreamt last night that I slapped someone round the face! Don't know who or why but it was an almighty slap!

Have never slapped anyone hence being a bit shocked

If this is what sobriety does to you then I say bring back the booze

ps.thanx for the scores, YM

I agree entirely - it's stopped being a reflex action for me to grab the nearest wine bottle and pour a huge glass every time my DDs or Mr PIR upset me and I feel much stronger for it too, but as our wise little Honeybear says, it is hard sometimes.

17 for me now please YM.
