My uncle died suddenly and I went to his funeral week before last, then a friend of mine died suddenly of pancreatitis, went to her funeral on Thursday, today I found out that my 2nd cousin passed away Sunday night from exasperation of chronic obstructive airway disease, she was in ICU with my auntie who is still on a ventilator in ICU, my friend's mother has also passed away she was in the same ICU. This morning found out that a really nice lady who has helped me in womens aid her 13 year old son died suddenly monday night. What's going on in this world? All this is making me realise how precious life is, I am so grateful to be alive and breathing on my own. Hoping my auntie will come off life support, she been in for 9 days so far, hope everyone is safe, please all take care.
That is so carpWhat 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 -

Tracey - hope you've dried your eyes and risen to the surface now?

Sending hugs to all who need them. And remember whatever the question, booze isn't the answer.
Another for me so
11 AFDs please Shaggy.
Hope you're not too exhausted with the visitors and manage to fit in some fun too.
Usual target of 10 for April please.0 -
Yeh 2 more AF for me and 11/11AF for March - I did it!
Away for Easter and on holiday for a week so might not be around much. Shaggydoo can you put me down for 14AF for April. That's both less than I would like and ambitious as we have lots of social events in April. I also want to stay inside Gov targets for units consumed (that's the tough one for me!).
Hope every one has a great Easter!0 -
27 please Shaggy and 22/30 for April.0

Hi everyone, thankyou so much for your support, I wanted to post it because I haven't told anyone because think they will get bored or down, hope none of you will get down, that's not my intention. In times of adversity and strain, we find out what makes us strong. I feel a bit numb and tired to be honest and thank god i am on antidepressants because they are helping me stay calm and i don't feel so desparate/panicky. Anyway down to business 27 AF days, staying sober in house becoming normal, when i go out on 20th april i really want to abstain and drive home i would feel wonderful if that happened. By the way i saw my friend who lost her mum on Monday, she is doing ok and her hubby is really helping her, just wanted you to know. This is weird talking to people I haven't met but as someone told me strangers are friends you haven't met yet. And you are all my friends, I like you all in different ways and guaranteed you always say what I need to hear, hope you are ok Barney, miss seeing your posts, and jak where is she probably doing ok hope she let us know, have a good day.
