    I am going to finally stop procrastinating and see a GP as soon as I can. Scared, ashamed, embarrassed or otherwise!!

    Good luck.

    Please be honest with your GP.

    1 AF for me please!

    That's the first hurdle over. There's loads of cliches but 'one day at a time'. I promise (from long experience) that if you stick at it it defnitely gets easier. Be thinking of you at the docs. Do come back and tell us and you'll find loads of support on here too.:)

    Morning :hello:

    Only 1 more AFD to add as I was out last night for a friend's birthday. I had 2 glasses of wine (and a curry :D). Anyways, back on the wagon tonight and if my weekend plans don't change I'm going to try for an AF weekend....to try and keep up with my AF target (and I want one of the smiley stars - how sad is that! )

    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.

    Just realised, this is my third AF anniversary - thanks to the support I got on this site back in the early days of AFness. Glad to see this thread is still here, and still a great place to go where people will understand and not judge.
