Hi all and Happy New Year

Haven't been around much in December - and not very alcohol free ( I'm a cutter downer) but ready for Jan now. Am going alcohol free from the 3rd (am out tonight) - so that's 29 days for me

Thanks

*Mari*

1 for me please HB

Feeling great this morning, loads to do but it feels achievable today :j

40SM, remember baby steps - I've decidied to go a day at a time this month and see how I get on, last month once i knew I couldn't make my target I gave up and thought whats the point, which was ridiculous. So Im going with good old GC's advise just thinking about today...which will be Af made sure Im the designated driver tonight :A

kittiej, welcome and good luck, this is a great place to be if you need help and support on your journey to be AF or cut down.

:hello: to everyone else, hope you are enjoying this beautiful, frosty morning,

Take care

Mari

and to you.

thank yourself first...and always remember how important you are in this.

To anyone with thoughts about going to AA, I'd say give it a chance because, if you're anything like me (!) you'll pick up a whole load of quotes that just help it all make sense in your head. There are some old veterans there who have a lifetime of good advice,,,,

I'd said something about what I'd done etc and quietly, after the meeting he just said "remember to forgive yourself".

another thought for the day is that I met some VERY clever people there...some who you'd never believe could possibily have an issue....it helped me realise I wasn't dumb and stupid....just vulnerable.

And I certainy wasn't alone.

take care everyone!

Thanks for that, Bis - a bit deep for a Saturday morning perhaps (I've only just got up ) but I think they're both really important thoughts for us all to remember :A

Morning all :wave:

Gotta scoot, taking DS to have his mohawk cut off into a normal short back and sides with a long bit on top apparently, well that's what he wants :rolleyes: he's going to a pantomime with his friend and his parents for the boys birthday at 12pm so better go :eek:

Welcome to new people and returners

Morning. I've got a stinking streaming cold...yuk!

Anyways I'm AF for the number of days of the month!

I would like to go to AA meetings but it's so hard for me to sort childcare...are they always in the evenings?
