    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.

    Hello

    Its 01.24 and I am in bed and AF. I actually made it to 13/29 AF. Thank you for all the good wishes and thoughts. Basically, since i broke "the seal" and drank at the wedding I've been struggling not to drink daily which feels like a real step back. Sometimes I actually read through this forum and actually want to just cry. The obsessive working out I do, the extreme dieting, the binge drinking it all feels too much.

    i've had a busy 2 days cancelling all my credit cards and memberships as I've lost my 3rd wallet in the last 12 months.
    Clearly I ran amok. Nothing untoward or in the vein of Christmas to report, just had a night out with friends where I had a few locally brewed lagers, then their sitter called to say their child wasn't settling so we all went home......... but early. OH and I decided to go out again just together and got in at 3am. And 24 hours later I realised I was wallet-less.
    But, i'm back in for one so god willing I will make it 2 on the trot.

    Hugs everyone. Well done HoneyBear on your massive success and your unfailing words of sage advice to us all.

    Morning all :hello: Week two of the school holidays has begun and I'm soooo tired

    I haven't been drinking since I last posted, but can't seem to find when that was, so I've lost count. It's not been a great month as my resolve cracked on several occasions, but, when it did I only had one glass. That meant bottles of wine lasted three days+ and I could use some for cooking too. This is massive for me.

    Not craving so much sweet stuff anymore, so think it's time I tackled the tummy...

    I'd like an AF August please Shaggy, so 31 as my target please.

    Honey Bear - huge congratulations on your second anniversary. You must feel great :T

    Hugs and support to all in need xxx
