  • Evening all.

    I am SO glad that I am AF tonight. My attitude must be changing as not long ago I'd be disappointed if I couldn't chuck a glass of wine down my neck when I got in from work. Looking forward to getting some proper good sleep tonight. So that's 1 for the SNC :o and my 6th AF day please. :D

    Shaggy - I have a feeling the van thing was motivated by the fact it's a camper and they thought there's stuff of value in there. It's more than likely it was the same person both times. Strange that it's happened though as we live in a quiet cul-de-sac and the policeman said there is never any reports of crime in our area. From what I've been saying on here it sounds like I like in a bit of a s**thole!
  • AF for me tonight please Shaggy.
    This time I haven't smoked since 6th Jan 2014 and still going ok.
    Fingers crossed x

    Shaggy – glad to hear that you had a good time in bath and well done on staying AF :T

    I’m feeling pretty pleased with myself right now - it’s my birthday today and I’ve not touched a drop, I've poured plenty into other peoples glasses but I managed to keep to fizzy water….I reckon this will have been my first AF birthday in just short of 30 years!!! :eek:....I must quantify this though by adding that I do have a birthday bash planned for the weekend during which I’m sure I’ll partake of a glass or two ;)

    So the SNC remains intact with 3 days please bearacus and 13 AFD’s so far in August please shaggy (thank you for updating our totals today...I'm rubbish without the updates LOL)

    I always find August really bad too!

    One (and only) good point about the poor summer weather is that I've not been tempted much to sit in the garden or outside winebars enjoying a chilled glass of white.;) I'm indoors with my cuppa! So glad you enjoyed Bath, Shaggy and well done on the AFness.

    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.
