    i need a clear head poor babys got bad croup and really unwell,(high temp, lost his voice and vomiting up flem) so im off for an early night because im taking the poo mite into bed with me because i feel safer with him right next to me so i can keep an eye on him. Fingers crossed for an improvement tommorrow as its normally the peak within 48 hours x

    Hope he's feels 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.

    I can relate to thursday drinking..because well its nearly the weekend right? Before you know it you have drunk on thursday , friday, sat and well a nice bottle or two over dinner on a sunday. Monday well thats stressful day for a lot of people isnt it? its easy to slip into that slope, hopefully we can all help each other step away from that habit and mental thinking. Good luck all xx

    Well, after my tiny slip up on Wednesday I did manage an AF Thursday so that is 13/12 for me please Shaggy - that will be it for November as I will definitely be drinking tonight (moderately of course ;))

    Have a great weekend everyone and good luck for the start of the new month :)

    1 more for me please Shaggy! 13/17

    I am going to aim to be AF tomorrow too so I get a second celebratory smiley! Disappointed I won't reach target but hey, I have come a long way from a couple of months ago so I am going to stop beating myself up :)

    Have a wonderful weekend everyone :hello:

    Good to hear you aren't beating yourself up about it fruball.


    I was thinking about Alex earlier (funny how you feel you know your virtual friends:)). What I wanted to say is that having a target of AF days is very helpful but it's not the only way to cut down. Having a single drink each day is just as money-saving and healthy (probably more so) as having them all on one night. So don't you go beating yourself either! :)
