    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.

    Hmmm its a tough one for my target setting, having written the above, i am going on holiday late april, although really it shouldn't change anything.

    30 days in April, even if I allow myself to have a drink once a week then that's 4 days, plus 2 contingency days for the holiday. I'll say

    So April target 24 days please, i've been saying 20 and achieving that for a while now, so i'll go with that.

    If my thoughts towards alcohol stay the same, then really it should be a piece of cake (and a cuppa tea) !

    CuppaTea, I loved your post. Not the carp you are going through, but the honesty and courage you are showing. Well done, you are wonderful. I hope you feel better soon, I find that when I'm bombarded by my emotions I get ill and it manifests in physical illness. You deserve to rest and that means mentally and emotionally too. I'm so sorry to hear of you break-up and that you are still hurting, usually there is a reason why it ends that we miss, it could be just because... no reason just the end and it's no-one's fault, but if you get back together I wish you all the luck in the world. 28 af days.

    Hi all

    Just reporting in to say I am still drowning, sure will come out the other side with a more positive head on thou, just taking its time. This is why I should have my hard heart, not my mushy stupid one that hurts :(

    Good to hear from you Cuppa, its lovely when the kids are being good. After my run in Tue night, my DD 7yo, ran me a bath, put the candles around it( I had to light them, she told me it was too dangerous for her to do it lol!) and got my book :)

    41, you are doing so well, with all the sadness you are showing us all that we can all do without a drink to cope - shaming me!! lol

    TY all, I love that we can all post on here, and as someone said - all unknown friends

    Tracy x
