PLEASE PUT YOUR AFDs IN A BOLD RED FONTWhat 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.0 -
Shaggy I'm on 8. Wish I had something else to say.

2 more AF days to report so that's 4 now please Shaggy and Monday's challenge complete Pen.
It was easy being AF but only because I was down with an achey/temperature type thing so had two days at home with settee, duvet and daytime telly :eek: Back to work today and hoping to keep the AF run going.
Oh yes I finally got my copy of No Big Deal to read. Started it this morning. Chapter 1 had me thinking yes yes I've read all this before, but the next chapter said some things which have started to get me thinking. I'm looking forward to reading more later but I want to take it slowly and think it all through properly.
Coffee break over so I'll catch up with the thread at lunchtime.0 -
4th AF day today.....
(..I hope! The days with AF attempts are like pulling teeth for me at the minute.:eek: I am planning on telly, tea and snuggling up with a blanket tonight.)
Hope everyone is okay.:AHOUSE MOVE FUND £16,000/ £19,000

Oh, is it me that keeps killing the thread!?:D
Was briefly tempted by a bottle of wine in the local shop before picking Piglet up from school....and then figured that with the money I'd spend on that I could get the makings of spag bol and garlic bread and really treat Piglet and OH tonight. So thats what I've done.
Piglet brought home his first school photo today....soooo cute, I'm just going to have to order loads of copies!!:D

Hi you! Great analagy (sp?) :T
Hi to others who are in & out, like myself. So to speak.
Am being pretty carp on the drink front, haven't said before but had to have my dog put to sleep. It was actually a month ago but far from getting easier it's getting harder & harder to bear! He was nearly 14 & I'd had him from 7 weeks old; he went downhill all of a sudden, one week earlier I hadn't even been contemplating it. I've spent a whole month now crying or on the verge of tears every waking minute & am being a complete DRIP!! (literally, I suppose :rotfl:).
Anyway, sorry to be depressing, I keep trying to snap out of it but it ain't working so far. Wanted to tell you but PLEASE no sympathetic words it'll only start me off again.
Determined to be AF tomorrow. Too late for today, can only try damage limitation.

How sad.
Life goes on if regardless if we drink or stay AF.
I find I cope with things better if I am AF.
I can always find reasons to drink, but actually most of them are even better reasons to stay sober0 -
Evening everyone
((hugs)) WB. YOu are not a drip. Mum and Dad lost thier two dogs within months of each other. Mum still can't mention their names without crying. They're a member of the family.
Jo, not on facebook anymore. It was seriously doing my head in. Deleted myself permanantly. Will text you a picture
