MAman I love how you're normally the last one in.

Hugs to those who are about.

Been mostly AF for a goodly while, small glasses just now and then, hope you're all grand? I read, but with new (ish) crazy busy job rarely get time to post. Without out this thread, I'd not have this job.

Keep at it chaps, tis life changing

Great to hear from you pippi.:) It's fantastic how far you've come since we first 'met'.

I still don't sleep well (hence logging on here late) but after recommendations am giving herbal Nytol a try. I did manage to get off a bit faster last night and sleep was more restful. Maybe I'm imagining it but who cares?;)

I know I'm doing far better than measly target suggests. I feel I've returned to being a fairly normal, social drinker but staying in touch on here means I stay that way and have a few AF nights as well. That's got to be good!:D

:hello::hello::hello: Glad to read all is well in your world. Your kids must be getting quite grown up these days?:)

Indeed they are lovely girl! Ones now at uni and I'm just about to bring him home, the other entering her final year at school before uni.

All is indeed well. I've a lot to thank many of you for, yourself included.

Aye, that's very true - a huge change here from almost two bottles of wine a night, to a more peaceful existence. Well done you too, how we feel about ourselves and how we're doing, is hugely important and thanks for the recommendation, might give that a go.

I'm with you on the social side of things too, and still log my AFD's on my phone, old habits die hard and these day's if I have a drink its social, if I begin to think about drinking alone at home again, I give myself a shake and I walk away. (mostly that works ) or I quickly find a book.

I've too random a life/job to get on often enough to put targets up but I think of you all often.:T I should pop by more

I'm often up late too, a wise man (RA) once told me the 'washing machine head that never switches off, should be embraced, not blotted out' These days I read or write a lot, reading and wine just don't mix!

Hope you all have a great day!!

I will be doing the challenges with you all :A

Could someone please send the wagon my way.

I had to do some after work sopping yesterday as I'm not getting time for lunchbreaks. As always with after work shopping I boght myself a treat aka a bottle of red :mad:

So I have flopped the SNC this week and I'm going to be at least 10% under target for this months challenge.

Hey Ho - onward and downward

Hey joanne. Damn those blasted statistics! This is real life and real people, no-one fails here. We are alive and part of a big picture, so everyday is different. You are not a failure, you made a little mistake and we all do that. Forgive yourself, start again and move forward. It is impossible to be perfect so we aim to do our best in an imperfect world. Hugs to you and never give up as that is worth much more than any figures, totals or achievements. Keeping trying is what keeps the human spirit alive.
