    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.

    Hi Shaggy, I am actually on day 7
    Thanks for keeping score
    Have a great day

    So sorry. I was having real trouble with my lap top over the weekend. But BF seems to have fixed it so I'm back to normal :T

    hey everyone,
    I will be running the challenge this week and will put a list up in a little bit x

    I wasnt AF on Saturday ... In fact I went for an all day drinking session from 1pm till 9.30 pm :(:( The plan was only to stay for two drinks! I wasnt even sensible and the tipple of choice double vodka. I honestly lost count of how many we drunk but I guess it must have been at least 8 :eek:. So as you can imagine yesterday was spent depressed, hungover, throwing up and ashamed (but thats what alcohol does) as I thought I had curbed this need to drink in excess.

    Sorry for sharing, its just that this thread is so honest that it would feel wrong for me to only to come on and tot up the AFS and hide the bad.

    As you can imagine I stayed AF yesterday so 6 Af please Shaggy.

    Bearacus, I've not been about recently so don't know what's on offer for the SNC, is it possible to go for a 1 dayer today and see how we go tomorrow?

    Morning to everyone else :wave:

    By god did I get drunk last night :(

    This has to stop.

    I have put a plan in to place, I have brought 2 litres of orange squash in to work and stuck it in the freezer (if I left it at home it would be an ice block!). I need to eat before I get home and make sure I have a stash of choklit. It's gonna be a long long night :eek:

    This is my first potential AF day since November :eek:

    Wish me luck :)

    Good luck, Jo!

    Please sign me up for the full monty this week, Bearacus, thanks.

    Feeling fat today, due to all the wine I had on Saturday night, which made me eat lots of carbs yesterday - crazy. Thanks for sharing your experience on Saturday, Bearacus - I have these mad s*d it weekend nights every so often, and I certainly feel bad about it the next day.

    Have a good week everybody.

    Morning All,

    Shaggy - I'm up to 4 AFDs now

    Bearacus - Could I please sign up to 3 nights of the SNC? And don't worry :p - you'll be back on track! I'm just the same - if I have over a certain amount to drink I just can't stop :o. You've done the right thing being honest and telling us all about it. Big Hugs to you.

    TooMany xx
