Morning all! (although only just!)

Checking in to say put me down for AF last night please Pen!I'm just so busy in the evenings and at weekends at the moment that there isn't much time to listen to the bells. Am doing the rounds of unis and sixth forms for DDs 1 and 2. Tonight is parent's evening for DD3 and then tomorrow night I can collapse (hopefully bell free)

I'll go for 20 in Oct please Shaggy. Thanks for scoring again

Just for tonight (Weds)

Jo

Special Offer - 2 nights only - anyone want to join us for a Weds & Thurs night challenge?

I don't mind listing just one night, if you only want to think one day at a time

365days

I know I upset some people the other night. Some of those people have been in contact with me and we have sorted it out away from the thread. I've also had PM's from members on here who I highly respect offering support. Thanks Guys.

Hopefully what I say next won't upset anyone as I believe it to be fact.

There are people on here who want to cut down and can easily.
There are people on here who want to cut down but can't.
There are people on here who want to stop completely and have.
There are people on here who want to stop completely and can't.
There are other people on here who don't fall into any of the above but for their own reasons find the thread helpful and interesting.
This is a thread about ALCOHOL.

Sometimes people will post things about alcohol and alcoholism. That is because it is an alcohol thread and because alcohol and alcoholism sometimes go together.
Some people here are alcoholics in recovery, some are alcoholics in denial, some are alcoholics who aren't in denail but struggle to stop and some people aren't alcoholics at all.
Some people get passionate about alcoholism. Some people don't. Some people love to come here and read serious posts that challenge their thinking, some people like to come here to chat, some like both.

As i have said I have apologised to the people I have upset that got in touch with me. I am sorry I upset anyone. But this thread is about ALCOHOL so therefore my thoughts on alcohol and alcoholism are just as relevant as anyone elses. You may disagree with them but they were relevant to a thread about alcohol.

If anyone has an issue with me or what I said please feel free to get in touch.

365days

If I don't drink this evening then it will be 29 AF days for me this month and 37 AF on the trot ;o))) Next month I will be drinking whilst savouring my food it some Italian restaurant in Florence ;o)) not too much though.

Lucky you Florence is my favourite place. I can recomend a company called 'Tuscan Trails' (I think) who take you on a vineyard tour, stunning scenery, amazing food in a local 'slow food' resturant and (as you've allowed yourself some non AF days!!) a sample of all their wines. They will pick you up from various places in Florence.

Enjoy

365, please don't take offence at my flippancy at times, it just how I hold myself together to deal with this no harm is intended. Pen x
