    Big hugs to you Lilith

    Ditto from me. I thought about your previous post a lot yesterday - 46 is so young - must have been a real shock for you to find out it was caused by alcohol...:(
    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.

    Hi all, hope people are well.

    Not really coping well with 'little stressy things' at the moment, like the train being late this morning, meaning that I had to make a mad dash to a meeting with my heavy laptop in my bag :(

    Still lots going through my head but just waiting for Friday. I posted my mum a 'thank you' card yesterday to thank her for our talk and for her honesty. I will contact her a bit later as I have a growing list of questions.

    It is now 28 AF January days, with 33 in total for me please Shaggy, and thank you for your kind words :)

    Can you put me down for the Feb challenge as well please - how many days are in February this year? Put me down for the full lot please :D

    Well done to people, we're all doing really well :T

    Hi hope you don't mind me leaving a link here for Living Sober. This group was set up to help people with problems with alcohol and I have personally been with them for over 3 years, (celebrated 3 years alcohol free in December). I know a lot of people here just want to cut down their alcohol intake but for others who are lost without support in the real world this could help. We operate in the North East of England and are completely voluntary non profit.
