    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.

    Near me there's a 'drinking' bar which is so obviously different from the bright, smart wine bars. The people who frequent it (from mid-morning) look old, grey and worn. I find that passing there on a day when I'm having a wobble does me good.

    Near one of the places where I work there is a pub that opens for "breakfast" - there are men in there from first thing in the morning drinking pints, etc!!!!!!!!!!!!

    hi, one more AF day for me please shaggy.

    well done to everyone else on your own challenge. This weekend should be different, I think it must be more than 15-20 years since I had a weekend without alcohol. Scary thought, although even more scary it will be more than 5 years since I had 5 consequtive days without alcohol.

    Cadbury's hot chocolate - I like it made with hot water with quite a bit of milk......:)

    Thanks Shaggy. I got given some sachets of Cadburys hot choc in a Christmas hamper, so will use those up.
    The kids are going to their dads this evening, so it'll just be be at home. I am determined not to drink anything, but to have a nice bath, and go to bed early, read a book and wake up on Saturday morning all fresh and ready for my drive. I am really looking forward to it too :)
