    If i upset you don't stress, never forget that god aint finished with me yet.
  • Well done Shaz - I hope you're taking strength from your achievement.

    A quote I like - that helped me when I was where you are: "Just for today I will try to live through this day only, and not tackle my whole life problem at once."

    Best wishes for the times ahead. Good wishes to aah also.

    Hiphouse

    thanks lewt, i'll prob be online during the evening once the kids are in bed. i find the evenings are worse, especially since i split up with ex bf couple weeks ago. tonight for instance i very nearly opened a can, but so glad i didnt. just making myself a cup of tea now, before going to bed

    i know i shoudn't, but yes i have. when i first split with my bf i was in such a state, and begged my dad to bring me some over, which he did and it was late at night, so i felt bad about making him walk out in the cold, but at the time i was so upset i didnt care. anyway the day after i bought some, and they are still there. if i'm really desperate i may have one or two over xmas, but no more. any left by new year i am giving to my dad, new year new start
