    Hi everyone
    Just thought I'd drop in. I've been reading all the time.
    Jo-hope yr feeling strong at 4 pm habits are hard. I find it tempting too but if I eat early with the kids it definitely stops me wanting anything akcoholic. I like to drink on empty stomach before eating.

    WannabeSE - hi I recognise u from other boards. I too can empathise with drinking as a escape from parenting boredom and routine. As a single parent its lonely and hard work. But I.m glad I've laid off it lately as I've had to be up in the night a lot with my kids recently. Naturally alcohol makes it hardet to cope, so its made me think twice.

    Gotta go supposed to be working.

    Im on 6 days please shaggy. Please can u set target to 22. Thanks. Can't do red on my phone will try to edit later.

    Shaggy I meant to ask. How are things with you now. I kno u suffered a loss of a patent back in the summer when I was regularly posting. Just wondered how yr doing. ....time to heal can be long .... big hugs tho.
    Live for the moment and plan for the future

    I found that I had to play around with the mix to get it tasting right. It isn't wine but I think I fooled my brain into thinking it was as used a wine glass too.

    Morning all,

    What an interesting discussion about habit/addiction :T this thread seems to be 'on-fire' at the moment.

    No alcohol for me last night so that makes 2/15 for me please Shaggy. Not a great start to the month :o but I intend to catch up over the next few days ;).

    Have a great (and hopefully sober!) day everyone :)

    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.

    TBH I had a great xmas. It's a time of year that I love (and my parents loved it too) and we were really busy....I thought about my Dad (& Mum) a lot, but it was no worse than usual (a few tears here & there)....my sister is doing well with her BC (she is on tamoxifen for 5 years - so she is 18 moths in)

    ....as the yoof say "What is life?"

    ...here's to a happy 2014...

    How's the quitting smoking going?? It must be really difficult?
