    I'm on 4 now HB
    AF days in Feb 2010 - 2 :A
    No new toiletries challenge 2010 (no buying new stuff until existing stash runs out!)
  • Hi eveyone I was AF last night as well and will be tonight to so tomorrow that will make it 3.

    I know its only a small step but I feel chuffed with myself. Even when getting stressed earlier this evening I did not reach the bottle.

    I plan to go AF until Friday, but part of me is thinking of trying it for the whold weekend as well. I want to loose weight so it prob would be a good thing to do.

    Good luck to everyone I love reading your stories, there is so much inspiration and also good old banter.

    Nighty Night.

  • Only a quick post tonight, just finished the ironing pile:eek: Budgie, well done on resisting that first glass.

    I'm off on holiday next week, so wont be posting much this weekend, as busy packing.

    Next week will be a real test for me, as normally I would have enjoyed wine, in the evening on a holiday, especially with a meal, but I intend to be strong. There is a pandora charm, with my name on it, just waiting for me.

    Who needs wine anyway:confused: I would only regret it, so I will avoid that first wicked glass. Have packed lots of lovely hot chocolate instead.

    Will miss posting, and reading on this thread though!

    HB thats 13 AF DAYS FOR ME PLEASE.

    Hope everyone is okay, especially with all the snow around. Take Care

    Good Nite:D

    Morning all :o

    I am afraid that you will need someone else to score for Feb. I am sorry to have to do this but I need to sort myself out mentally. My head is not even in the same body let alone the right place so I am going to take a break from posting and MSE in general and deal with things in the real world.

    I hope you understand and all the time I am away you will all be in my thoughts and I wish you well.

    I will be back but dont know when ATM

    As the French say

    "Au Revoir"

    What do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.
