    tonight I actually had my hand around a bottle of wine. Had a mental tussle then put it back. Was feeling all uptight and urghhhh! I've just got back from the shop, made myself a pint of blackcurrant, and caught up on here. Feeling much better.

    I'm irritable, moody, shouty and not a particulrly pleasant person to be around tonight BUT i haven't had a drink.

    So thanks all for you being here!

    Well done! :T :T :T

    Thankyou all fellow FAFFers. I've been doing really well. Only one alcohol day since 27th October but tonight I actually had my hand around a bottle of wine. Had a mental tussle then put it back. Was feeling all uptight and urghhhh! I've just got back from the shop, made myself a pint of blackcurrant, and caught up on here. Feeling much better.

    I'm irritable, moody, shouty and not a particulrly pleasant person to be around tonight BUT i haven't had a drink.

    So thanks all for you being here!

    Just read back properly.

    Jeez Christ, well done!! :T:T Hard when it hits innit? So proud of you xx

    Hi all- you are all doing so well I could weeep, I really could.

    Sorry I've not offfered the support I should have to you guys over the last few weeks. I had a bit of an alcohol shock- cause after giving up for all this time I have I thought I would be OK- but I've (alcoholic) problems with my pancreas (any biologists know about this?) and I've been in and out of hospital- guys its been horrible, don't put yourselves'or your families through this- even though I don't touch a drop now everyone knows why you are there and your families will go through hell. In fact my 15 yr old said to me today, 'well I never thought you'd see me go to university mum'.

    Please be careful everyone, I don't want to bring everyones weekends down, but this stuff is treacherous- enjoy it, but treat it with care

    I think everyone on here is great- funny, clever, thoughtful, empathising- catch you all later.

    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.
