  • Thanks Honey Bear.
    Since I am not the priest...

  • 16/30 please Shaggy.
  • Day 14/29 could I have a 'Hay' please?

    OH has also had 2AF days as a result of me cutting out so that is a double bonus for me because he was definately drinking too much and It was more difficult for me because he was drinking in front of me.

    Bought some AF red wine last night, not great on it's own but slightly better with sparkling water!

    What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?

    Sometimes we need the hungover feeling as a reminder where we've come from just like a tight pair of jeans tells me when I've been having too many treats. And one bottle is still an ALD.:)

    Yeah, I know, it just seemed a little unfair, that's all :( Since cutting down, my body seems to have gone into "temple" mode as I'm wanting healthier food too. Still enjoy chips, but vegetarian food is very appealing. Plus on this that I've lost 2lbs this week (and probably saved a few £s too)

    10/21 is it? *tut* gonna have scroll back and check now...

    I slipped a bit last night, I had 8.5 units, so I had to play one of my jokers, I've still got another one to play (if needed) before the end of the month to make my target of 21 ALD's. I felt that I didn't get much out of drinking those 8.5 units, so I hope to make my 21 day target. As you can see I am posting at about 4.30 am , so it did disrupt my sleep.

    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.
