    Had a heavy BH weekend which set the total back a bit. I drank 4 days in a row which I don't like doing and usually avoid. Ive analysed what and why though. I dissected my mistakes.

    Lets be honest - last week's events were enough to drive anyone to drink...but there's a brand new shiny month coming :)
    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.

    Don't beat yourself up, one day at a time. When I started I was lucky to get a few per month but last month was the most ever for me & if I crack tonight with no alcohol I will have went 4 days straight (which believe me, is huuuuge!!) when I start I don't know when to stop :o We are all here for the same thing, I have poured my feeling out on here when I didn't even tell my hubby how I was feeling, chin up xx
