Waited 45 minutes for AA bloke but he didnt show lady reckoned he wasnt coming cos of bad weather so came out of hospital and waiting at bus stop when said lady came running out to say he had just arrived! Bless her it was a minute walk away and the only time Ive ever been here by bus and not driven! Bless her though she said on the walk back that her husband had just started going AA he smashed the house up before Xmas and she had to have him locked up for the night. Chatted to the bloke for an hour, he told me his story it was like a one 2 one meeting! Ill post more later when I get home, fingers are freezing off at this bus stop!

Jo,

Make yourself a nice mug of chocolate when you get in to warm yourself up. (((hugs))).

Do NOT forget how well you have been doing :A

Love as always.

Hi Guys,

Just trying to catch up.

But I have to send our Darling Jo some very big hugs ((())) sweetheart I felt so saddened to read your post. You are such a battler and you have done so well lately.

The thing is and as you have now realised, the dependency is there in the background waiting to take hold again.

I am so proud of you for keeping your promise to Graeme, and for seeking other help.

I am sorry your Doctor did not treat you better, but at least you are doing something positive yourself.

I am here for you sweetheart as are we all, words never seem enough do they?

What can I say that can help, I really don't know. There sadly is no magic wand to wave to make it all better.

But you are a strong lady Jo and I know that one day you will win this battle, just keep the faith and stay strong Angel.

With love and respect my friend :A

Jo, That is fate working it's magic if ever I heard it.

Jo: you have been doing so well. Just think how far you have come and how much more energy you have comparing to few months back.

Ummm - I might just found a way to stay AF to mid September 2011 :eek: (first 8.5 months pregnant and then 12 months breast feeding) :oWill get confirmation on Sunday. Will try not to bite all my nails before then.

HB 8 for me please!!

7/31 for me!

I feel like I'm 'underway' on the challenge again. Had a truly cack day at work and a small voice is saying 'Ahh, gwan - have a beer and start the challenge again next week'

But I'm going to resist and go to the gym instead. Go me.
