[Bella]

Hello to you all!

Its been ages since I've logged on. I thought I'd just post and let you know I'm still alive and the baby is still kicking! There are so many new names here and alot of old names gone- alot of you don't know me. I joined back in Feb with an alcohol problem and a suicidal wish. Both those have faded away at the moment and I'm 30 weeks pregnant. The 'drinking me' is no longer sharing my life which is great. But the 'smoking me' is having 2 a day now which is horrible I know. I think I need a forum for smoking!

I have been well in the last few weeks and just getting bigger. 12 stone at the moment. When you see a pink balloon- think of me....nice!!! Apparently the baby boy I'm carrying weighs 3 pounds now and has very long arms and legs.....perhaps its a monkey!

I hope you all are slowly but surely killing off those alcohol demons I'm so familiar with. No doubt I will be back to drinking again after the baby is born. I would like to think that I have this b****** under control and its a thing of the past......but I'm not that stupid!

Love and hugs to everyone I know and to everyone I don't know.

Bella - that great to hear you're doing well. Pat the bumpy boy from me!

You never know about afterwards....keep seeing yourself as the 'sober you'...I mean, you are! And so keep focussing on that! Is this 'wee-one #1' ? If so, you may feel totally different after the birth...and if not, well, you still might feel different!

Love and long-armed-hug (!) around you

Hi Bella, great to hear from you and even greater to hear that the demon is not on your shoulder just now. Keep on keeping on is all we can do really. I wish you all the best and 2 ciggies a day is superb, respect to you for that.

Bella,
So good to hear from you. It is almost time to welcome your little one to the outside world. YEAH...you have done great! Start on the supps when he gets here to help with the cravings, etc...perhaps you can keep them at bay.

FMF is right. Visualize yourself as a sober you. It will keep you strong. So glad to hear all is well.

I am the happiest person on earth to hear from you again and to hear that you and baby are doing well. Glad you are keeping the beast under control for the pregnancy. I am just sorry you are having a boy - if you were having a girl you could name it Mags :H :H
Please keep checking in with us often. We want pictures, you know, after the birth. LOTS of pictures. And then we want a sober (or at least as much as possible) mom. Definitely a healthy and happy mom. Do you plan on breast-feeding?
I am so thrilled to hear from you. Please keep posting.
