  • I am an alcoholic, and I don't get days off from my alcoholism

    Some methods A.A. members have used for not drinking.

  • I've got through Friday. Stick me on 23 please! Party time!
    Can we just take it as read I didn't mean to offend you?
  • Evening all!

    Hope all those planning on being AF are managing.

    Unfortunately I've given in to two glasses of wine. Was at Mums for the evening and just wasn't quick enough to say no. Luckily Mum not a big drinker (and Dad off of it at moment due to Crohns) so bottle was taken away when finshed and not replaced.

    I had a great evening. Note to self : CAN have a good time without a bottle and a bit in me!

    Also...had a good chat with Mum and Dad. As a result am looking to sign up for a course in Dec/Jan (they are fab at encouraging me to do things to make ME happy!). Want to learn History. Am fascinated with the royals (ie trip to Buck palace!) nd would love to be more knowledgeable about past kings and queens. Currently researching to see if local college or open uni would be best. Really excited!

    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.

  • I drank last night but not nearly as much as I would've not that long ago. We left the pub after two drinks, we were the first to leave, we used to be the last trying to encourage everyone to stay out! So only spent a tenner rather than £20 or £25. Also no hangover today :D

    There's some great scores going up, well done guys :)
