    Hi everyone!

    i think i will forget October as a terrible month for me, in terms of drinking - i drank more days than not, which is awful.

    November is a new month, but i can only see if i can better October at the moment.

    On a positive note, i had the MOST fantastic halloween yesterday, on a date with someone i've been seeing - we went to a party. It was totally AF and utterly fantastic - i am still smiling today, in fact i am almost floating i am still so happy! :D :heartsmil

    So yes, it is true, life can absolutely make us 100% happier than booze ever can, it's just that we can't see it due to alcoholism.

    Hugs to everyone, as i am sooo full of love at the moment, LOL!

    Lots of positivity and happiness on here today. It's great to hear you sound so upbeat cazz.

    Good to hear from you sim, your AF total is certainly building up nicely:T. Try not to get down, make some plans for when your training starts next week. Plan a routine for your day so that you do other things than work and make some definite plans for what you will do with the money (cause you know what you mustn't do with it).
