    Morning all,

    No laptop here so will be brief and apologies but I won't be able to do scores till I get lappy back from menders.

    Another one for me please Shaggy, thanks muchly :D

    Went for a Toby Carvery last night and while we were waiting to be seated I was looking at a bloke at the bar with a pint of beer, thought 'mmmm it'd be nice to have a beer with dinner' then the thought disappeared and it didn't occur to me again, had a pint of orange and lemonade and it was bluddy lovely :)

    Hiya Fedupandskint, its lovely to hear from you. I was wondering how you were getting on, so pleased for you that your doing good:D

    I am feeling good today, I have 2AF now and I'm not drinking tonight.

    Graeme thanks for your post, I see what you mean. I think by try harder, I mean not give in so easily.
    Also if I do have a drink, to not let that turn into a bottle of wine a night for a week/month without even thinking about it. I will definately think about some of the things you suggested.

    I go on holiday in 2 weeks, Egypt all inclusive so I'm determined to not drink before we go. When we get there should be ok as I never drink alot on holiday, must be the sun I prefer a bottle of ice cold water!

    Anyway hope everyone is ok x

    Afternoon All,

    Very quiet here again, I hope everyone is well and where they wish to be today.

    Busy here and feeling much better today, still so so tired although seem to be sleeping o.k.

    Im out for tea tonight and not intending to have a drink but will update later just in case :o

    Miamoo Im so glad you are feeling more positive and have a few AF days under your belt :T

    Aaahh I hope you are feeling better now. I keep trying to remind myself how bad I feel after I drink heavily. Hopefully we will both get better at making sensible decisions regarding how much we choose to drink.

    Right off now must do a bit more work :cool:

    Take care

  • Good evening everybody,

    It's been a really yukky day, damp, dreary and depressing. If I weren't still on antib's I would have been seriously tempted to get slaughtered. Thankfully, that thought passed quite quickly but it has warned me to be on my guard next weekend when the meds finish.

    It's another very quiet night here, I hope that means everyone is ok.

    Jo Finished the Fri to sun challenge. Thanks for organising it.

    Shaggy 14 for November please.

    Good night.

    RN

  • Its been miserable and grey here too. I've spent most of the afternoon wrapping up pressies to hide them from DS. I don't think I can cope with another 6 weeks of hyperness and the arg*s book :o

    Not AF tonight but just a glass with the dinner. Will have to be AF for the rest of the week though as I'm out of spending money. If it's not here I can't drink it.

    Hope everyone is ok x
    This time I haven't smoked since 6th Jan 2014 and still going ok.
    Fingers crossed x
