    Well had my first drink yesterday (a bottle of Young's Double Chocolate Stout) and REALLY enjoyed it. Felt that was enough for me and left it at that.

    Going to have two nice cask ales tonight before going for an Indian :)

    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.

    Good news from my brother, the cancer originated in tonsils, so removing them was the right thing to do. He will need another operation to remove lumps in lymph nodes, then 6 months of chemo/radiotherapy, but consultant declared that it was curable!

    "Good" news Satchmo - keeping everything crossed for the best outcome.

    Good Morning! I drank wine last night and now have a very nasty headache! Hopefully a couple of paracetemol will shift it.

    In a determined mood I am going to cut back drastically on my drinking this month so I'm calling for participants in the first August

    School Night Challenge


    Five days are up for grabs (Sunday-Thursday), sign up for as many or as few as you like and make sure you have a clear head fir the start of each working day. I'll be the first one in with 5!

    Hi, I haven't been posting for a while now, since I last posted I have lost a stone in weight by excercising 3 x half hour sessions per week and eating natural foods. unfortunately I have been drinking again since I went on holiday.

    IT'S TIME TO STOP.

    For me it seems it has to be all or nothing. It starts off just a glass but soon descends into a whole bottle!

    So if its not too late for August, I would like to declare the rest of August AF.

    Thanks
    Julie

    Well done on your decision and your weightloss.:T it's all too easy to fall into bad habits after a holiday.

    I'll sign up for 4 nights for the SNC please gien. Thanks for organising it. It may be a bit ambitious but I'll do my best.
