    Evening everyone, I'm posting my list to keep me motivated to do it as I could leave it in my mind otherwise and ignore it

    All well here and yoga completed, went much better than the first time and could feel the stretches improving. Need to stick at it now and attempt some when I wake up which would make me feel as though I had come a long way if I did this :D
    AF no problems making it a MAD 23 for me tonight :j

    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 everyone! Happy Birthday HB! Have a lovely, lovely birthday - you deserve it and thanks for your encouragement. Can't update my score at the moment cos lots of celebrating going on in our family but will keep popping in to keep up with everyone. MOD - I know exactly how you feel - being on this thread and trying to be AF has exactly the same effect on me - I'm working through lots of issues myself but we're all here for each other and it's wonderful. Bye for now everyone and have a great Friday xx

    I would be happy to score in April but I'm also happy to pass the baton to someone else :D.

    Holler if you want to do it, otherwise I'm happy to score April:)

    I've lapsed and fallen in to a couple a night habit since Monday. It's so easy. Made it to 15 AF so far.
    What I don't like is the instant effect and change in my feelings and actions it has on me. Particularly as it's been just me and the children this week. I've had no driving duties, both of them have been in - due to weather - so I've slipped. I've been falling asleep halfway through Masterchef or whatever at 9pm. Admittedly already snuggled up in bed.

    Got a bit of a social weekend coming up. But I really only want to drink socially. Not at home. Hmmm, that sounds like I'm justifying it....

    When I'm down the alchohol pushes me further down. It's not good. I know it's only a couple but it stills sends alarm bells of dependency to me.
    Things really have to change.
    DC.
