    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.

    It’s not what you have in your life but who you have in your life that counts
  • 1 Af day for April, and its not an April fool lol, no I'm conscious and of sound mind. I want to set a target of 30 days if theres 30 days in April. Let's see how far I can go.

    Tesco Credit Card £250 £25 DD 0% for next 10 months.

    Barclaycard Initial £241.45 0% for next 7 mths.

    Hi everyone, have been sooo busy lately have had little time to get online! How are you all doing?
    Anyway I am doing OK, I have been trying a different tactic and instead of denying myself and saying I am not doing this that and the other I have been watching the units and the £'s. It seems to be working at the moment and I have definitely cut down from where I was.

    Cuppa - Honey so sorry that you are still finding it hard, it is like a bereavement but with the added pain of having to see and interact with the person you have lost. I wish I could offer you something that will help, but I think it will take time and one day you will wake up and think 'my children and I are worth more than this' and hopefully you will be able to find the closure that you need (then if you are anything like me you will get angry with him!!) Sending you big virtual hugs my dear.

    41 - Wow you are doing fab, and such wise words too :D

    Shaggy - I know I am a nightmare for dropping in and out of the thread, so I'll not do a target but if I get chance to post I'll say how many days I have achieved if that's ok? Good luck with the diet and exercise, I am away in 10 weeks and need to sort myself out too or I'll look like a beached whale!

    Well tonight I have had a small glass of red and that's all the wine gone. Have done my weeks shop so unless I break my budget there will be no more bought until next Sat at the earliest... we'll see how I go!

    Cuppa Tea I'm not allowed to get close to people because I have a controlling partner.

    I am sorry to hear that 41, but I appreciate your honesty. Maybe as you get stronger with your AF days and goals regarding that, you will want to transfer that strength into other aspects of your life.

    I'm guessing your alcohol abuse is to escape from your unhappy home life?

    I don't wish to assume or patronise or bring up things inapproprioately, my apologises if I have, so I'll leave it there

    Thinking of you though

    Mari - Wow, so glad your popping by still, I had wondered how you are. Glad to hear you are doing well and still targeting yourself, I really think it helps, even if we can't come on here to count. I've found it hard as some days its a struggle to login, but i always get inspired and motivated when I do. Plus very grateful to shaggydoo for all she does. Please pop by when you can Mari!

    Does anyone know where Jak is, she was a regular daily poster but since I dropped off a few weeks ago, I noticed she hasn't been as regular. I hope she and her little boy are ok.
