Morning :hello:
No more new AFDs to report. Jumping back on the wagon when it passes tonight.
ShaggyxWhat 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 -
One drink is too many/never enough. Fell/jumped off wagon big style. Trying to drown out future sorrows: mum is shrinking each time I visit, and today I brought my grandson (DS2's) to see her but she wasn't well enough to sit with us and took herself off to bed. Later on, after I took grandson home, I then went grocery shopping for mum, followed by a visit to granddaughter (DS1s). Mum rang DS1 because she needed someone to talk to. That's never happened before. I curtailed visit to DGD.
Ashamed to say I drank a bottle of wine with/after dinner, trying to what? Want to cry, for me, for mum, for the fact that I live 180 miles away.
Totally understand where you're coming from. Life is crap....:(What do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again.

Can only say one more AF day but have been v sensible and not gone past the point of no return. 2 drinks on fri, sat and one tonight. The days I am drinking seem to be rising again and I am not going to hit my target at all this month. Am on 13/22 and fading fast. There are only 7 days in the month left and impossible to do. I know I will drink on Wed (meal with a friend), Fri (leaving do for a friend at work), Sat (because its Saturday). Not good eh. The only consolation is I am not going over the limits. It feels sensible.
Again reactionary to emotional wobbles this week.
Kind regards
