    Miss P, families, no troubleshooting guide or FAQ to flick through. Hope you are ok, don't dwell on it.

    Popped to supermarket yesterday, literally for bread and milk and was drawn to it, didn't stop myself, knew I was going to do it, like some sort of auto pilot to the stella shelf.

    So not AF last night, didn't enjoy it, never do when it's just me, so why bother ?

    Because is the answer.

    Right well onwards etc...

    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.

    Good morning all,
    Popped to supermarket yesterday, literally for bread and milk and was drawn to it, didn't stop myself, knew I was going to do it, like some sort of auto pilot to the stella shelf.

    DC - I think most of us have been there :o You are right though - onwards :)

    MissP - Hugs to you ((())) I hope things calm down.

    Declared myself Merry early last night then DSs came home early so no need to drive and motivation went out the window. Have to remove my star :o

    115K - well done on your AF day. Would you like to be added to my list?

    Will update scores later. How's the hair dyeing coming along?
    Just about to rinse mine out.

    You know what DC, I'm beginning to think you are my drunk alter ego, when I'm drunk I log on to MSE under the pseudonym of Different_Corner, then post and in the morning completely forget that I did it and actually believe there is person called DC out there somewhere.

    I too did exactly the same as you, cept it wasn't Mr T's it was the offy where they are cheaper and cold, then once I start, I just can't stop....I think the person that invented the pringles advert coined the phrase from having an alcohol addiction.....

    Feeling pretty useless and crap and not at all surprised that once again I won't be able to manage a full month AF :(

    Liver is hurting, mouth is swollen and sore, excema (sp) has flared up and most !!!!!! off that I didn't manage the 3 nights AF before I go back to work. Now it'll only be 2, probably be typing the same message tomorrow and saying it'll only be 1. Then Monday I will go to work with a hangover and be so !!!!!! off with my self-control that I will drink myself stupid on Monday too and so the circle continues.....

    Pah

    Plus, it's raining :(

    Apart from that, all is fine :)

    LOL Jo, well it's possible..!

    If I analyse, not too deeply mind, I know it's just old routines rearing their head. Was HM Pizza night, BGT....

    What I really want to do is go to bed after BGT, and read, but you can't read if you have stella because it isn't as consuming and you have to read it all again next time. Where's the fun in that ?

    I would love to cook dinner then go straight to bed and read at about 8pm but OH would moan and want to know why I'm going to bed so early, no excuse would be good enough. Problem is that I go to bed early most days cos I'm drunk anyway so if I went extra early he'd moan even more.

    Need to put a plan into place.

    My skin clears with such speed when AF, and I know it's alcohol/stress related, so why don't we stop ? Human mind is such a minefield of imformation, conflicting and arguing with itself.

    It's at this point when Allen Carr pops into to my head. 'Never doubt your decision.' However he didn't pop into my head yesterday afternoon.
