failed yesterday not only drank but started a row with OH about how unfair it was I had had cancer. I feel truly truly awful today.

Focus on the positives. Remember the saying 'You can't change the past but you can learn from it and change the future'.


How many AFDs have you managed and just think how many more you could do before the end of the month. And have a big virtual hug.:)

13/31 for me tonight please Shaggy. It has been a trying day today and normally I'd slump on the sofa with some vino, so instead, I've had a bath and scoffed some satsumas. DH is irritating me and I'm not sure why...sigh...

Sorry to hear you're not having a good time of it juliethemuse - I'm sending hugs too x

Wise words Maman, yes just pick yourself up and look straight ahead Julie, perhaps apologising to you OH might make you feel better.

Piggles, I am sorry to hear about the way your mum behaves. She sounds a bit toxic really. there's been a lot of research showing how profoundly our experiences whilst young impact all sorts of adult behaviour and mental health, but at least you are able to make use of counselling to help you deal with those issues.

No wine for me today even though my DH is having one so I am on 12/31 please Shaggy

Claiming 13/31 AFDs today, and shooed away the "Wine Wednesday" temptation that tried to join the conversation as I arrived home after a busily productive afternoon.


Piggles, your mother sounds like a narcissist - everything has to revolve around them. They are very destructive to others' wellbeing. You are right to remove yourself from the situation.

Hello everyone

6/31feeling more positive this week although I have eaten a. LOT of crisps I haven't had a drink.

Just watching a documentary on channel 5 about drinking. Very interesting indeed but some scary elements.
