    A little nervous, but I'll join you :)

    I have had your flat, lonely, sad, desperately unfit etc etc etc feelings for most of my adult life and it's all due to drinking, no other explaination. I used to think I drank because my life was flat and I felt loney and sad......but I guess that's the nature of the disease for me, it's turned on it's head.

    Just need the courage to try and turn it round :)



    Hope everyone's okay? xxx


    I can identify with that a well.
    Hand out courage to Jo and offers to join the fun - ta HB :)

    Well done Marru - :T

    Cazza - try not worry (easy said) join me on a sunday night - 'not its not really still the weekend, its really a 'school night' challenge?'

    Hi HB and Jo, I'll join you on a sober weekend.

    I've just done the big shop and on purpose didn't buy any white. Nearly had a panic attack about it at the till though.

    DH is out at the cricket all day so its just me and the teenagers tonight so I won't drink. I struggle more when DH is in and having a glass or too. I find it very hard not to join him.

    I'm off to de-clutter our room and wardrobes in a minute too :)
    This time I haven't smoked since 6th Jan 2014 and still going ok.
    Fingers crossed x
