    14/20 AFDs and spent the day eating goodies that a colleague brought in for her birthday.
    What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?
  • Morning,

    Wasn't an AFD last night, DS and DD wound me up so much I snapped.

    It was however a low alcohol night and even DH didn't drink very much either.

    Today is another day and I will try again tonight.

    Have a good day everyone x

    Morning :hello:

    I was AF Monday but I'm afraid I drank last night because I was so stressed with work and dealing with my crazy family - 6 units. I hate drinking to medicate for stress.:(

    Hopefully I'll do better today.

    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.

    9AF please Shaggy
    I always tend to use alcohol to medicate for work stress
    Can't remember how I managed 3 months without it now!
    Your units are pretty low, so not all bad

    Hi all, 10 AFDs please Shaggy.

    Had a right stressful day at uni, came the closest I ever come to having a full-blown row with another student. I hate group work, especially when you do all the work and other members just come along for the ride and do s0d all :(

    Anyway, felt like a 'wine' evening but just bought some nice bread and pate instead.....and chocolate lol :o
  • Hi everyone, had a good-ish day, every tear i have shed today has released a bit more tension, so worth the cry. 15 AF days, goodnight alxxx.

    Didn't stay alcohol free tonight but it wasn't stress medication so was pleased. Totally understand those who do. Have been doing it for years. Think I drank about 3 units tonight but it felt 'normal'.

    Hope to stay AF tomorrow as driving to and from sons drama practical exam.

    Good luck to you all.

    Kind regards
    Slowdown:)
