    Good to see you posting Miss P.
    I can't believe I've nearly made it through January AF!! I have to admit I'm quite chuffed with myself. I've noticed a few things that are prob a direct result of me being AF:

    * My skin is clearer
    * I'm sleeping like a log (when poorly piglet lets me **rolls eyes**)
    * Despite it being a 6 week month, I still have money in my bank! (not a lot but much better than I would normally have expected it to be!)
    * I've not had a single argument with OH - in fact, we're getting on rather well!
    * I'm generally more placid.

    Makes me wonder why I ever drink in the first place?? I hope it continues.

    My local AA Group considers that 6 months AF is the first major milestone.

    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.

    Just poking head round door to say hi, having a carp time over the past few days, also feel like I've got the lurgy and dreading the funeral tomorrow which is in 2 parts, first bit at the church for the ceremony, then to the cemetory up the road for the burial, then back to the church for the wake :eek: just want this week to be over. Gotta run, speak to you all later :wave:

    Oh yeah sorry, hope all the sicky ones feel better soon xxx

    ETA :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: I just read this post back after submitting and realised I'd put 'I've got the Lurky' :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: oh that cheered me up :D
