ShaggyxWhat 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.0 -

Morning all,
Wow, the thread seems very real and honest, very inspiring to read - I still have some catching up to do.
I have another one to report so I'm on 10/13 please Shaggy and 1/3 for the SNC.
Idris - onwards and upwards - good luck.
Rachel - can't find suitable words - take care of you.
Squoooshy good vibes from over the interwebs to all.0 -

Good morning on what is a very wet Tuesday with me.
Just done 7k of sprints on the treadmill so feeling very righteous this morning :rotfl:
19/27 AFDs pls Shaggy and 1 for the SNC pls bearacus
Have a good day all.......0 -
Hello all, 23 AFD days please Shaggy.
Bigdrinker - hugs - for a difficult time.
Cleggie - thankyou, you made me smile....am proud of you too girl - for finding your path to walk down. I think to have left half a bottle sitting in the fridge for just one night is achievement - if it's still there by Friday you should most definately award yourself a nice treat.
Iristhedragon - apologies but you still make me die with laughter at your stories. You should have borrowed the communal stop button - it seems to be working better than your one. On a positive note - tis done, recognised and at least you know you're heading back in the right direction again :T
365days - that was such a beautiful piece of writing. I'm not a God person but loved it just the same - thankyou for sharing
(((Hugs))) to Rachel and everyone else who needs one.0 -
Afternoon all
Idris - just to repeat what others have said, don't beat yourself up. I have been there so many times I think I've lost count.:o I Start out with good intentions but with that first glass (in my case, anyway) they all fly out the window. Just remember, each day is a shiny new one.
Rachel - glad you managed to have a chat with a friend who's been through a similar experience. Hope it helped.
I can feel a testing evening coming on. My boss today asked me to change my hoursI currently do 9-1 which fits in brilliantly with school. He's asked if I can do afternoons or evenings. I've said I couldn't permanantly but maybe could do some for a short while to help out. I knew this day would come as theres always been pressure on me to go back to evenings. Feeling a bit upset about it. Not sure yet what to do about it. Hopefully I can keep a sober,clear head to try and work it out!

Hey guys.
Can i ask how you deal with being totally miserable, without drinking? It sounds like a stupid question probably, but i am so miserable day, have an awful day, totally overwhelmed by everything. And my first thought is that i want to drink to forget0
