Thanks for that Pbt I have never looked at the website, I have just read a couple of the stories and how people have suffered. It is truly heartrenching, I guess we all think that, this won't be us. But how can we be sure?

I shall read through the rest of them in the next couple of days, I read quickly at first and then I like to go back and re-read and digest the information. I do this with posts on the thread, especially someone like Graemes, I actually re-read alot of his, so as I digest and understand what he is conveying.

Btw have you decided if you are going to a meeting? I wish you well sweetheart in whatever way forward is the best way for you. But let us both and hopefully us all make this New Year the year that we change for the better.

Big hugs hunny and thankyou again, alot of people will gain alot from looking at the link :A

Thanks BB, for your hug and best wishes. The same to you, I so agree with your post, I am strong as long as I dont have the first drink. So like you I choose each day to not bother. Life is so much better without having to make that choice. Without waking up each morning, and my first thought being, tonight, I wont drink, and then failing:mad:

Stay strong, if we take each day as it comes, like Graham says, we can do it. "Just for today, I will not drink"

Jo, well done, on staying strong. Were in this for the long haul. Stay safe in the snow.

GP, keep it up, and well done on the diet:T:T

Hope everybody is okay, keep warm.;)

:hello: Good to see you back posting wb, we've missed you.

Hope your back isn't too sore in the morning Budgie, so glad it wasn't worse. You could so easily have broken something.

Well done jo for resisting after such a difficult day.

I found it a bit easier tonight. Bells rung late afternoon but I told myself NO! I'm sure that as I start to think how I'll spend the evening I start thinking how some wine would be nice and on an AF day I feel disappointed. Once I've fought that, got home, taken my Kudzu, started supper etc I'm usually OK. Tonight I promised myself a glass of coke and some yummy cheese (Epoisses, it's delish but soooo fattening). Hopeless for lardloss but it was great.

:grouphug: to you all....to keep you all warm and because you're such nice people!!

3AF please HB

(hope you're OK and that the mice haven't got to you)

5 for me please HB

Shaggy - how's the diet going? Day 3 for me today....feels like 300!:rotfl::rotfl:

I've done 2 days. First day 1500 cals but yesterday 1700 (I discovered 2 mince pies and ate 1:cool:). I'm aiming for 3 Lbs a month which, if I achieve it, will be 36 Lbs lost this year - well I can dream:rotfl: No room in my diet for booze. I'm going to weigh myself on Saturday's. How's things going for you?

I have another incentive not to drink, as I'm now only £900ish away from being debt free. If I have a few good months, I could be debt free by the summer. Wouldn't that be nice.

Totally off topic, but there's a bit on the radio just now about feeding and providing water for birds during the cold spell. So if you can get out to feed our feathery friends, please do!:A

I have a seed feeder but after I read your post I put some water out too, as my bird bath is frozen solid.
