  • I don't want to rain on anyone's parade - it's more my intention to underscore the very real dangers of alcohol addiction, but I can tell everyone reading this thread that I attended a chum's funeral a couple of weeks ago - 42 and a lovely lass, who succumbed to alcohol misuse in spite of having a stable partner of 20 years, a lovely home and loyal friends. I guess I'm saying is: if you or anyone you love, is having trouble moderating their drinking, seriously consider getting professional help as soon as you can, however you can.

    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 Nicnak and Paspatur.. nice to see you.

    Been keeping myself busy with the house and children and by bedtime last night I realised that I hadn't even thought of a glass of wine... a small breakthrough for me and it feels good.

    Was speaking to my hubby about feeling a bit off / down and he mentioned that I always get this way in October - he remembers as its always in the run up to Halloween... I hadn't even realised before but I think he's right. Very odd that I've never realised before. I've been upping my sugar again and bought some chupa lollies the other day for the kids which I really like... haven't had a lolly for years. ;-)

    Anyhow - declaring early for today so 27/31 for me
