    I will score in March if you want?

    Start setting your targets! I'm not very creative but I'll do my best:D

    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.

    Thought for the day:

    I was up last night until about 11.30. Was just about to go to bed and my youngest daughter comes in complaining that she was too hot.

    So I go through and settle her down. And come back and think to myself - THAT'S one great thing about being sober. In another time I would have been barely conscious and resentful of being interrupted from a bad "sleep". AS it was, she goes to sleep feelign cared for.

    Small things....

    take care everyone!

    Lovely post. One of the many gifts of sobriety is being there for our families and friends, and another one is the gratitude

  • Hi everyone. Thanks to Shaggy for offering to keep score in March - can you put me down for 27 please (cos I do tend to have an odd one now and again). Thanks to Fay for scoring in February, you've been brilliant and full of good ideas and support. I ended up having 2 glasses of wine last night at home which isn't like me (any more) but I found the bottle that I'd hidden away on New Year's Day and just HAD to have it. Which proves to me that I just can't have the stuff in the house any more. Oh well, never mind. Definitely an AF weekend cos I'm all headache-y today which reminds me why I decided to stop drinking in the first place! Will stock up on the Diet Coke, lime juice and soda water. Have a lovely weekend everyone xx

    Fay - Thanks for the offer of helping me use the internet spreadsheets but I think I'm just gonna cut and paste to begin with,; 'cos that way I can download images easier IYSWIM.
