    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.

    Hello

    Another AF night for me taking me to
    3 AF so far and tonight will be too as already turned down as social function. Again, up early & getting stuff done. Now I am in the mindset I find it hard to believe when I c@@k up.

    Hope you all have a glorious and sober weekend.

    Good news, Piggles.
    What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?

    2/21 for March

    Shaggy could I please have a dancing star for February, I did achieve my target and exceeded it by one day - whoo hoo!!!

    Sorry to hear about your friend Honeybear, I lost my SIL 7 years ago in the same circumstances and it is heartbreaking. She was intelligent, very articulate and beautiful when she wasn't drinking but due to illness she hit the bottle to try and relieve the pain and then became addicted. We tried everything we could to help her but nothing helped and she left a 13 year old daughter.

    Shaggy, that's terrible, losing three people in a week even if they were a good age. (((hugs)))

    I don't think you did, Smiley, so hugely well done.

    Dizzy, you're doing great!

    And another set of congratulations, SandyPan. So sorry about your sister in law, and it must have been heartbreaking for her daughter.

    Night out last night with great neighbours, interesting history talk, pub, back home for fish and chips with everyone, much beer and wine quaffed, much laughter. I absolutely did not miss getting !!!!!! with them, laughed just as much as they did and - I don't have a hangover this morning. I might take OH out for a recovery breakfast because he's not a bad bloke, but mostly, I'm just thankful someone on this thread advocated B***s Bl** all those months ago. It makes it all so easy now.
    Better is good enough.
