Afternoon everyone
Lala - well done on the 3 weeks - must feel fab!!:T
Quietish day here. OH just taken Piglet to visit his Mum (I don't go there anymore!) so I have a nice hour or so's peace and quiet. Time to settle on the sofa with a coffee and a book!:)
Not sure if I will be AF tonight. Am cooking a roast and always get the urge for a glass of wine whilst I'm busy cooking it. Will wait and see.

Afternoon :hello:
I wasn't Af last night but thought I'd pop in and update the totals.
ShaggyWhat 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 -

Rachelww1 don't beat yourself up-you are having such a terrible time at the moment. I know when my mum was very ill with cancer five years ago I coped and self medicated myself with a bottle of wine every night and cigarettes to try and keep my mind off things. Good luck with staying alcohol free for May-I'm trying to do the same. Mind you I must have had a fuzzy wine head this morning because I thought there was 30 days in May-doh! Thanks for everyone's kind words about me not drinking-I'll look to trasijocha and bhb for inspiration this month and everyone else who is doing so well.
Ditto from me. When my Mum died of cancer 12 years ago I drank too much. The night she died - she died at midnight - I sat and drank with my sister until the sun came up. I drank through the funeral and for a few months afterwards most evenings. I then decided it was time to stop.:o To be honest, if anything happened to my Dad or siblings I think I might do the same.:cool:What do we do when we fall?

I haven't done anything silly but I wish that I hadn't bothered. So I have decided that tomorrow ie 1st May is day 1 of no alcohol . Wish me luck. Have managed 3 months last year so know that I have the willpower.....
