    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.

    Morning all - I had forgotten what it was like to have an AF head firstthing on a Sat and how much I like it!

    I told people at work I was thinking about stopping drinking and the things that came out of my mouth sounded just like the people I work with who don't want to stop doing what they are doing.

    It followed me saying I was going home for a large glass of wine as I had a v.busy afternoon then as my dog needed to go to the vets for the last appt I had to delay the first glass then I realised I didn't want one afterall and the craving had passed.

    It was a lovely experience to be AF again on a Friday and wake up with a clear head today

    It's always an enjoyable experience for me to read the posts of molly and bis and to see how strong they are.

    Have a great Saturday everyone and I'll see you all later today!

    HB - Hope you're feeling better today. Mouse flu? :rotfl:


    Well, I met my friend in the pub last night and as pressure goes, he was fairly relentless for a while. I stuck to my guns (and my blackcurrant and soda), so am happy to report another AF day, making 13 I think, Honey Wan :D

    Hope we're all well. Today I are'll be mostly rebuilding a pooter :rolleyes: and making HM pizza for the DSs :drool:

    Happy Saturday

    I don't need a bracelet. I wear a wedding ring that I nearly lost.

    I lost mine.

    And my children, house, job, driving licence and health.

    I'm sorry, RA

    I guess it's important to remember why we're all fighting this, in our little ways
