Hello everyone, lovely to see so many new people on the thread.
I got back from Tenerife last Friday - saw my Dad which was lovely (he lives there), it always makes me a bit sad - he's not very well at all now, late stages of emphysema and a multitude of smoking related illnesses and is now on oxygen a lot of the time - still manages his first whisky at 10am....some things never change.

Have been a bit wobbly since I got back so wanted to sort my head out a bit before coming on here. Very very pleased to say that I am now feeling brilliant :j. 74 days AF and 44 cigarette free now :cool:.
I think I was getting a bit depressed and had begun slightly manic eating - chocolate and sweets and about 10 - 15 apples a day - don't ask me why.....I have no idea
So am now on the Dukan diet - which is just proteins and no sugar. I feel quite relieved to have stopped eating constantly and am now learning to live with myself.

Just feeling very calm, spending time enjoying my children, reading and nice stuff. Hopefully lots of gardening this weekend .

Hope everyone is keeping well, (((Hugs))) to those in need, and well done everyone - this thread makes such positive reading.

Please could I have 31 days for March Shaggy - 9 AFDs so far

Just wanted to send happy vibes to Bearacus on holiday

Welcome back; I think you are an inspiration!!!:T:T:T:A
I'm finding it hard enough to cut down alcohol, lose weight and get fit, without throwing stopping smoking into the mix.
Hope to join you by gardening this weekend.:j
Happy digging.:)

Well done crazymum, you are so strong, and think, more time gardening, less time eating My plan anyway!

9AF now for March please Shaggy
New man popped by for an hour last night - bought me flowers and chocs, am worried now - never get flowers for no reason

Happy Saturday all xx

Morning, planned alcoholic frolic last night but shared ONE bottle o vino with best mate a vast improvement on our usual escapades. Usual service we hope for the future, be a good habit to form.

DH is away for the weekend so:one more for me please! enjoying having a nice quiet time. the bells only ring when he's here.

I'm trying to stay off booze until i go away in august now (or if by some miracle i actually manage to find a job, then I'm downing champagne without abandon). i drank a bit last week and it lead to me eating a load of rubbish and i put 3 pounds on in a week when I'm desperately trying to loose weight.

MrsR - thank-you, Im fine. Still dealing with family stuff - Mum very upset about her brother. He has been given 6 months and is going to live with his Son. Going to be hard on everyone

No advance on scores but am ok with it.....just spent night away with OH - late anniversary treat to ourselves. Went to a boutique B&B in Hamble and it was lovely!! Didn't want to come home, had a lovely time. Still...came back relaxed and happy

Hope everyone is ok!!

Is the saying the bells are ringing, cos if it is mine are soo loud tonight!!
Spent most of the day gardening, the urge for wine is overwhelming....bath and early night I think!
Habits again, will crack it, will crack it, will crack it....

Well after spending all afternoon yesterday spending money on my rental place because of icky former tenants I consumed a bottle of wine, and slept badly and feel blergh and have to spend the rest of the day completing the sort out of said house garden as tenant clearly was incapable of cleaning anything or properly disposing f anything

No booze tonight though even if I end up spending even more money on the place
