    Jo - I know what you mean about feeling panicky about not drinking.

    I just worked out that to beat my AF result from 2009 I have to have more than 11 days AF for every month.:eek: I'm worrying already that I won't do it and then I think well if I can't beat the target then why try at all.:rolleyes:

    Having done a bit of maths, this is the same for me. Don't think about the long term..... just try and do as many as you can THIS month... compare totals in a year's time ;)

    A guy walks into a pharmacy.
    He says to the pharmacist, "I've heard a lot about that viagra stuff. Does it really work."
    The pharmacist says, "Yeah, it works great."
    The guy asks, "Do you think I could get it over the counter?"
    Pharmacist says, "Well, if you took enough I suppose you could."

    :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    :DNeigh, neigh, and thrice neigh :D

    Typed a mammoth post and forgot to say what I come on here for :rolleyes:

    I am positively panicking about being sober tonight, ridiculous huh :confused: after so many sober days and knowing how much I enjoy being sober, I just can not get my head around the fact that I'll be okay without alcohol :confused:

    You'll be more than ok, honey...you'll be fabulous ;)

    Well thats 3 of us already. Lets do it .:T

    40SMx

    And don't forget the Stoke on Trent'ers either :D

    I know we are from up North, but we will behave I promise and also I can technically count myself as part Southern as my DS lives in London. (Just in case you were wondering ;))

    Hugs to you all :A

    Also I wonder what meeting each other would feel like :confused:

    I have a mental picture in my head of some of you:
    Graeme bless him, I see him as quite a big chap, but very nice might I add :D Sort of like a guy I used to work with a few years ago in new homes, he used to tell me that everything is solveable (sp) whether it costs: time, money etc, and the only thing that isn't is death. Very true.

    Dear Lurky I remember the picture you posted a couple of months back, well we shall have to hold our Dear Winebox back and then some ;)

    Miss P well I think she is totally adorable, Darling Jo and Dear Fay and YM, oh and Bhb we have seen their pics . So no mystery there.

    Lots of you are so dear and I wonder how we all see each other :confused:

    Ok rambling over, THE DIET IS DEFFO ON NOW :rotfl:


    115K thanks for the jokes hunny :T (()) xxxxxxxxxxx

    Love n hugs off to catch up properly.

    Though I will of course recoginise Dear HoneyB its a bear thing ;)
    Budgie xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    I would like to come and meet you all but I get quite anxious about meeting people so I will have to see how I feel nearer the time.:o:o:o

    I feel the same - excited about it but VERY nervous!! You could maybe meet up with one person somewhere else, first, rather than have to walk into the whole shebang on your own?

    Must must go, every time I submit a post there are another 6 while I've been writing!
