    Back with the hair dye and a new top!

    Thanks Sparkles - good advice. The weekend/drink connection is still a strong one for me.

    Well done tonight HB :)

    Will update scores tomorrow.

    Hello everyone!

    Just popping in to say a quick hello. I've had to remove myself from facebook :-(( as was getting posts on my wall from foreign people and facebook didn't seem too keen on sorting it out. So I'm missing you all!

    Lots going on here. This week had MAJOR falling out with mother in law. Think we now know where each other stand...we told each other we don't like each other (she told me kids all hate me etc etc...my son gets in the way of the other two..). ou get the picture! So this weekend was spent sorting stuff out with kids and their mum to try and reduce MIL's input. Been a nightmare. Things can only get better eh??? :-/

    I've been quite good on alcohol front. Not perfect but much better than usual, despite circumstances.

    Hope you are all ok!!!

    Miss P

    After a bit of feeling sorry for myself not drinking on a Saturday, I've managed 1 Merry AFD for May.

    (4 AFD's so far)

    Night everyone x
    This time I haven't smoked since 6th Jan 2014 and still going ok.
    Fingers crossed x

    Made me think..

    The 'not drinking' is not that hard. Be careful here! It can trick you or you can trick yourslef

    It's the feelings, fears, and memories underneath, that are tough.

    But also the future. That is yours. Don't give it away.



    Take care

    For what I've done...I start again...And whatever pain may come ...Today this ends... I'm forgiving what I've done -AF since June 2007

    Hugs MissP....sometimes clearing the air can be a blessing in disguise as at least you all know where you stand. .All families have people that we don`t always get on with.

    For me, it's admitting that alcohol has that hold on me that makes me deal with it. Have no idea if that makes sense shrug.gif

    Anyhoo, feel better for saying it & will (hopefully) get through the night ok :D

    Makes perfect sense HB.....hope you are OK Sweetie.

    Morning all,

    Long time lurker here but decided to finally post. DB please can you put me down for 15 AF days this month. I know it will stretch me but that's what targets are for i guess!!

    :j Hiya PR

    Well done on finally posting....I find that popping in every day keeps me focused on my target. I started one day at a time & its been 8 months now....I would not have got that far without this thread.

    Good luck.

    Welcome PR :hello:

    Woo Miss P MIL sounds a right one :( What a nasty thing to say about Piglet. "That he gets in the way" :mad: Does she know he has adopted parents on here who will come and sort her out ;)

    Hope your chat clears the air for you.

    1 Merry for me please DB

    Have a nice Sunday. I am off to work smiley-computer002.gif
