    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.

    Thank you Maman and Shaggy.


    Stupotstu, when I'm finding it difficult I read the older threads and from the beginning on this one, so your name is familiar. Sorry to hear you're struggling, but the amazing thing is - you're back posting and in good company. I also read sober blogs, and I find them incredibly helpful. Have a (((hug))).
    Better is good enough.
  • Helloooo :wave:

    I haven't been here for over two weeks, but have just counted up my AFDs and am on 7/18 please.

    Not great really, have been away for a few days and still on holiday from work but expect to be back to it tomorrow.

    Well done to everyone for sticking at this, and Honey Bear you continue to be such an inspiration! :T

    That's not too bad for holiday time chardonnay. I'm much the same and that's staying at home.:o


    Another AF day planned here.

    16/30 please, Shaggy and thank you for my two smileys.

    That was a lovely thing to say, Chardonnay - no-one is more surprised than me at the fact that I've been able to keep going so far.

    It was a particularly bad night the last time I indulged, and thinking about it makes me wince. I just don't want to go back to being that person.
