    That's a super-early call CPC :) The nice thing about an early call is that one can then put the debating society to bed for the rest of the day, and the "Should I? Shouldn't I?" noise keeps quiet.

    Thank you Honey Bear :)

    It was AF for me again last night. Today will be my 1st AFD of the April challenge. While I have not been at this for very long, or even intending giving up totally, I have been thinking about how scary it is that I slipped into passive drinking. No thought to it, most days no planning. Just come home and may be have a glass of wine with dinner then a couple of beers or just come home and reach straight for a drink. Thinking back over the last few weeks, most days I wasn't even drunk or had any intention of being so. Just completely passive drinking because it is there.

    I am just so shattered from it that I am slowly building up energy levels. Feeling slightly better every day. I had to cancel my drinks with a friend for tomorrow but we will rearrange soon so not a big deal.

    Hope everyone else is well :)

    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.
