The Giving Up/ Cutting Down alcohol support thread - number 11

22/22 AF for me, and definitely feel I can last out longer!

I've been asked to be filmed running, so promote a project to get people running to fundraise for the charity I work for. I'm not the most photogenic soul, but I'm enthusiastic about running and passionate about our work,so feel very proud to be asked. They were originally going to use a runner who writes for Women's Running, but she has damaged her achilles tendon and isn't likely to be running this year. She had to defer her 2013 London marathon place until 2014. I'm not doing a marathon, though!

Well done to you satchmo, no wonder you feel proud of yourself you should. Let us know when its out wont you?

Jak, I am already on income support, have been since mid December, but i know this will change in march as my youngest turns 5 in feb. I will automatically move onto JSA and be expected to loook for a 16 hr week job. The kids have been through so much and now it looks like I will have to put them in childcare, when I currently work when they are in school. I am applying for a school time job, closing date is friday, but I am unsure I fullfil the entire criteria, so I am just using this as a practise exercise. I don't live in a big town, so travelling to a jobcentre plus requires a car, but I may call them up and see if they can advise. Thanks.

I feel I have brain ache tonight, too much worry and form filling in. I hvae noticed my anxiety levels are getting higher, wondering if I should see the gp again about it.

I am managing to keep everything else ticking along, but these next few weeks will be telling. My parents are away for a fortnight, my bro is away for the same and lately I have been seeing more of them due to the separation. I know I can do this, I am independant, its just nice to have company and have a little help with life at times.

Its my birthday on Saturday and as i have no family around this year, I have invited some friends over for the evening, going to do a girls night in style. Will def not be AF sorry. I have also decided as of this year I am changing my birthday to the day I should have been born 26 April. I am fed up with grey, rainy, non event birthdays, no one bothers, no one has any cash to do anything and its cold. My husband, or ex husband but we arne't divorced yet, and my brother are in the summer and they always have nice weather, meaning a bbq, or a day out somewhere. In the 10 years we were together Dh never had a rainy birthday, jammy or what?

Anyway I am seriously digressing, my point is this year I shall be like the queen and have two birthdays and next year, I will start celebraing in April.........because I can!

Good on you but why wait until next year? I'll try to remind you around April to plan a good night (when your family will be around) for your official birthday.

Congratulations satchmoand you'll be all bright eyed and bushy tailed for your photoshoot thanks to the AFness!

No more days to report but I'm pleased stuck to the single glass with my pub meal then switched to a mug of tea when I got home.

Well, I'll be staying in today, the snow is too bad to go anywhere. Kids are still in bed and I'm having some ME time. Hoping everyone is doing okay and doesn't succumb to the drink because they are snowed in. Just had a lovely mug of tea, and you know what, last night I drank and o and passion fruit j20 and app and mango j20 and they were stunning also lemon barley squash is lush.
