    10 AF please Shaggy
    What a lovely heartfelt post 41
    It’s not what you have in your life but who you have in your life that counts
  • Would have been a AFD today but certain family member has mucked it up. Shouldn't get annoyed but just laugh but hey ho tomorrow's another day. X

    18/31 AFDs please.

    My group of colleagues started our second week of our couch to 5k plan, and enthusiasm is high. I then did another half hour run afterwards and it was still light. Marvelous.
    What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?

    I would like to say thanks to everyone, I mean everyone, you have and still are helping me so much, and if it wasn't for this thread I would continue to drink, end of.
    Having someone to share my ups and downs, successes and failures means the world to me, so when I tell you things are going well, you all have a percentage of that, because every success I achieve you do too.
    You do not realise the difference you have made to my life, I am going to survive and have a better quality of life. I want to live not just exist and now I can see a better future for me and all of us, we mean something and we can be happy, and I wish this for everyone, please take my thanks and be proud of the contribution you have made to my progress, I am sober today forget about the 31 days or the 19 days of this month, I am sober today and yesterday is history and tomorrow is a mystery.
    Today I am alive and today I am sober, that is all that matters. I love you all very much and I wish you inner peace and the courage to face the future together, all of us holding hands, bless you all so much.xxx

    Good post 41 but tomorrow isn't a total mystery. We have a plan and loads of help and we're in control!!:)

    I did think of having a drink tonight. I was tired and a bit stressed and I thought it might help me relax. I decided tea and chocolate might work just as well and they did!

    8 AFDs please Shaggy

    I'm planning to have a drink tomorrow. I'm out to lunch with friends. Whatever I choose, I'll be in control. Not the booze!

    Good to hear your new group is doing so well satchmo. Good on you for getting that up and running!;)

    That's a lovely post 41.

    I've managed 2 AFD this month so far, pathetic really. Our easter hols start soon and we have visitors so it'll be difficult not to drink but hopefully we'll keep it moderate.
    Then after Easter life should settle down with far fewer visitors and entertaining so hopefuul less alcohol!
    Trying to keep in budget.

    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.

    Rats was hoping to get my dancing smilie today but slipped into a glass of red wine last night so not AF. Still it was in a good cause and I enjoyed it (so often I've drunk and thought I'm not enjoying this but carry on anyway)

    So got a busy day ahead and a planned AF day so back on track.

    Have a fun day everyone
