    Hi all,

    does it start at midnight tonight?

    If so I am in.....

    have to be honest just couldn't resist the bells tonight but i had a decent meal before starting ( as opposed to drinking on an empty stomach ) and it has made a huge difference.

    However i will be in bed before midnight so if the challenge starts then i am in

    If it has already started I am out ( gutted )

    Hope everyone is good tonight

    Hugs

    And what reason would anyone have to drink on a Monday:rotfl:I'm sure you'll cope great with the challenge.

    Have you been to Devizes marru, that's the only place I know with so many locks? Sorry to hear about the black dog. Stick with us on here, I'm sure it'll help.

    Hope you're OK fay as a bit curious (and concerned) as to what the tablets are for. Hope les enfants are now home safely and life can get back to normal.

    You too, Budgie, as you don't sound too well either. It worries me as if there's a bug about on the thread it's often catching.

    Have a good week everyone.

    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 Ladies and Gents :)

    Hope you all had a relaxing weekend.

    I had a difficult couple of days (felt flat / regretful of the money I've wasted etc) and a very anxious morning earlier today, worrying about how I'm going to pay back the £500 PayDay loan. (Have a plan in place though, and should have at least half of the money in 10 days time).

    I forced myself up at about 6am to stop thinking, and have already sorted out a couple of emails (re waiting list for CBT / my Housing Association re repairs)!

    Sober here for 9 days now. Feels good.

    Off for a haircut later this morning, and to chase up a job.

    Have a great day all.

    Hi all,

    Can I join the challenge?

    I am obviousley planning to do a week sober but like these little challenges!

    Hope all is well.

    Thanks for support other week when head wobbled. Didn't drink as I know today drinking is not the answer. Waking up each morning full of joy, aware of what I have done, no longer being embarrarsed by my behaviour or ahving to apoligise to everyone definatley beats drinking!!

    Jg
    Sober and Fabulous 4/1/10

    Maintaing 10 stone since 22/3/11
