Good afternoon everyone! Hope you have all had a nice day?
I am not feeling bothered by having an AF evening this evening, which is nice after my cravings yesterday. Normally i will start on the wine when i am making dinner, but i am in the middle of making dinner as we 'speak' and am happy with a nice cup of tea

So, 4 AF's so far!

I DID IT!! My first AF day since mid November!
it was so so hard- I couldnt sleep and didnt sleep until gone 3, and was all panicy and horrible but there was NO WAY I was giving in. I nearly got up and had a large rum twice- just to knock me out, calm the anxiety BUT i knew if I got through last night then it will be a breeze. I am not drinking tonight- hubby is out until 9.45pm ish so I am going to put all the kids to bed early, cook a nice tea, plate his up for when he gets home and go to bed with clean sheets and a good book.

Well done Crazymum. I love this thread too xx

Also I dont want to shout too loudly BUT I havent had a fag since Monday

Cleggie you seem to be going from strength to strength - well done you....so proud of you :T

Iristhedragon you go girl.....fantabulastic, well done :j. Little steps by little steps.... just remember how good the mornings feel. I couldn't sleep last night either - too much emotions, eventually got up and instead of reaching for the whisky bottle....ate half a tub of ice cream instead :j. Proud of you too.

Thankyou to everyone who has said such kind words, feeling a bit knocked out today with emotions and exhaustion. I would like nothing more than to sink into oblivion with a bottle of whisky....but am thinking and understanding instead of drinking.
I understand more and more that it is not the way I want to live and that all I need to do is take one small step at a time.

7 children and 2 dogs in the house tonight - chaos as always, tea is done, lunchboxes packed up, looking forward to a calmer evening.

Sending you all the strength to go where you want to go and big sparkly rainbows to everyone who has done so well so far :T.
