    1/19 for me for yesterday please?  And today should be no problem either. Weekdays are normally fine for me.

    Getting through the weekend may prove more tricky though!  I have counselling tomorrow and that always leaves me feeling like emotional teeth have been pulled, and cigarettes and a nice bottle (or two) of wine seem very appealing.  I must resist though.  I need to learn to sit with the feelings, not numb them.  And the aftermath of those potential bottles of wine and cigarettes will leave me feeling bad for days and blow my monthly budget.
    Live the good life where you have been planted.

    ...and there are the reasons not to! Better to feel good and not rue money wasted.

    Hi everyone else, MoonCat day here, 14 / 29. Even resisted a mint choc-ice yesterday!
    Now a gainfully employed bassist again - WooHoo!

    Absolutely!  Thinking about it actually, I'm going to make sure I have lots of nice things in place to keep me on the straight and narrow tomorrow night.  I'll organise a phone call with a friend, and treat myself to pizza and a film, and then make sure I have an early night.  Its useful to know when my tricky points will be in order to deal with them better :-)

    14/25 for me today please. Not feeling great today, healthwise. Let's hope tomorrow's better.
    What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?
