    Munchin, could you persuade your OH to join you in doing the Macmillan October challenge? (Something like Stopctober, can't remember the exact word).
    What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?

    Good morning all,

    No AF's to report over the weekend but relatively sensible quantites consumed (for me anyway - not so for my OH :eek:). Seems like me & Munchin have similar OH's.

    Sorry to hear you sad news mrsdee - it will be good to see you back.

    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.

    Slinking back in after a good 9 months away....

    Some of you might remember me from before.

    Did the Drylathon in January, then it all went a little bit t**s up. But I have now signed up for GoSober October in aid of Macmillan Support.

    A cause close to my heart after losing mum one and a half years ago. Seems I have to have a goal in order to cut out the booze.

    Anyone interested in joining me this October?

    I hope everyone is ok and is coping with where they are in the alcohol scheme of things xx

    8AF please Shaggy
    Think my OH extremely shocked this weekend - we went out and I drove and had lime and soda all night!
    I did debate with myself all day Saturday, thinking a couple of drinks wouldn't hurt, but my promise to stay off alcohol for the rest of the month made me behave!! I'm such a child lol
    Sorry to hear your news MrsDee

    I was possessed by the demon this weekend too :(

    I feel tired today with no energy. Why do I do this to myself?


    Have a good week everyone :j
