Goodness me, all the old timers popping in today - hello everyone:hello:
Great Total BHB, just a few more days for the two months - good for you.
I got back from our weekend away yesterday and I have 2 more days to add to my total, thanks Shaggy, and I completed last week's SNC - can I join in again this week Bearacus? I am on two so far (didn't drink yesterday or today, depsite DH offering).
The weekend was a little bit boozy but nothing too dramatic and I don't feel bad about the amount I drank. DO feel a bit bad about how it made me feel though - I rather felt and heard the bells and had to work hard not to drink too much - worrying.Trying to keep in budget.

9 Af please ShaggyIt’s not what you have in your life but who you have in your life that counts0

14 for me, please, Shaggy
And 2 for the SNC, please, Bearacus
I wish I could get rid of that 'newbie' label - I've been on this thread for 2 years, but changed my name twice - once by mistake, and second time because I didn't like the 2nd name, iyswim!!!!0 -

That's wonderful news BHB, you're doing brilliantly!:T
Not AF tonight but I only had a single (planned) glass of Merlot with a meal out. When I got home I made a cup of tea. I'm really pleased with myself as previously I'd have done the old Mastermind trick and poured a bottle down my neck.
Well done everyone who'd had an AF Tuesday.0 -
Morning :hello:
1 SNC AFD for me please Bearacus.
ShaggyxWhat 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 -

Hi Folks!
Well, its just over 5 weeks since I last drank. It feel like a LOT longer.
I went to a friends last night for a catch up. I drank a fizzy fruit drink and my friend drank wine. I could smell the wine really strongly and am pleased to say that it didn't appeal to me at all. More worryingly is that I would have usually have stayed until about 10.30ish but was texting my DH at 8pm saying that I wanted to go home! I was home by 9pm despite my friends protests. I talked to DH when I got back - I just struggled for converstation with my friend, I'm a bit concerned that we have nothing in common other than getting drunk. I just wanted to get home to my PJ's and Kindle. What has happened to me? I was so happy when I got home. Have I become unsociable? I am usually arranging our weekends - who's coming over for drinks; who's are we going to for drinks - I'm now happier staying in on our own watching Saturday night tv.
I have more energy, my skin and eyes are clear and my state of mind is so positive.
I've applied for a couple of jobs (mine ends in September) and am feeling ok about that. I'm taking a more "one door closes, another opens" approach and seeing it as an opportunity for me. Although its a good job the holiday in August is already booked - we might have to wait a long time before any other break. The thing is that I know we will be ok, no matter what - we could live in a mud hut if necessary!
Love to all
Lala xAF since 10.04.11
