Jo, angel, so pleased for you that you're on the other side of all your horror. You're doing brilliantly :T This is for you: :EasterBun

Thank you CW, 29 days ago I felt suicidal, never felt that before and I refuse to go back there x

40SM, where are you hun? X

GG, 12 please!

I am here , hun.

Just been lurking lately. Having a few problems with DS1 and his autism, managed to hurt my food by running into an open door, and DS3 came down with the flu on Thursday ( his 6th birthday):eek:

On the plus side, my mum is now out of hospital:T:T AND it is only 2 weeks until we get our puppy:T:T

BTW , Jo , I am soooo proud of you.

GG. ..... I am only on 4 days.:o

Love

40SMx:D

Hope you all have a lovely afternoon and manage to stay dry and not too windswept :eek:

Jo jealous of M&S action - I looked online and the 1p bizarre thing yesterday was only instore - boo hoo (not jealous of a visit to the evil toysrus shop - shudders!) have fun!!

Pancakes and HM jam all round - not too windy here at the moment - but its heading our way I guess............BHB will be in touch about willows later in the month about to work out my 'destructive' sampling for later this year -

Waves to 40SM and anyone around.

Wierd that its becoming almost 'normal' to not have a hangover - still wiped out I must say, not got to the 'happy' place yet but that's more cos of work than missing alcohol. I still seem to have alcohol blips - but having looked over my diary - they are becoming blips rather than 'normal' events. Progress I guess - but small..........

Got a mate coming tonight - will be a test as its takeaway and probably he will bring wine/beer - so I need to keep myself topped up with squash and make sure I remember all the stuff I Have to do tomorrow AM. That should help keep me on straight and narrow - must dig out my book and read a chapter - that normally helps.....................

A very wild & windy day here in `not so sunny `Derbyshire.

Trying to get the motivation to go for my contact lens appointment....really don`t want to venture out there today !!

Keep safe everyone....just seen on TV winds have hit 100mph on south coast!:eek:

See you all later.

And that has gone too! It feels such a revelation, like I have a new,lovely future ahead of me and my family now. I find it weird (and am very grateful) that it did not take as long as I imagined it would to feel like this either.
Don't get me wrong,I still think about alcohol at times,but not first thing in the morning anymore and the craving has gone totally.

be very careful...I can feel on top of the world one minute but am sometimes only seconds away from doing something unbelievably stupid...and you know what I mean,...it would take minutes to cross the line again sometimes. I feel that some days more than others...today was a real flash from the past...the old voices were still there....

constant vigilance!

well done though!

Hi Budgie,
Good to 'see' you.I am good thanks ...plodding on as usual.
Mr MP. is doing well.....not being AF but just drinking a couple of cans on weekend nights.(He used to get through 3 bottles of whisky a week)so doing really well.
He is very lucky as he knows when to stop and in 30 odd years I have only ever seen him drunk once and that was on DD1s wedding day.(And then he was a happy drunk).
Anyway....good luck for Mr BB.Hope he soon gets some work.And good luck to you with your cutting down.

Take care of you
Love Mollypollyxxxx

HI P...been meaning to post for you for a while...awesome job! 18 months now isn't it!

And turning Mr MP around too....some effort....

take care
