ARMY..................week beginning 24th August 2015!!!

[IamMary]

I know we're s'posed to concentrate on just us and curing 'our' disease -- not attributing reasons or excuses to anyone else -- but if ever there was an 'add-on' reason for you it is precisely that --when the kids start really noticing -- most kids start sort of 'hating' us in their teens anyway -- so to give them excessive drinking as a weapon -- it becomes horrible --- truly horrible --
I would love to have not been drinking in Joey or Jill's teens -- but I can't change the past -- but wow missy --- you CAN change the future!!!!

This is very true Molly. I still panic about how I'll pick then up when they start staying out beyond wine o'clock, then I remember, hope, that I'll have made it by then.
I think my vanity and what people might think of me (''my mam is always drinking wine'') also helps in a twisted way.

Shoe shopping, discussing, admiring.. now that I could do any day over otter facials. Not litterly obviously.

Night all...

[Tabbers (a.k.a. KTAB)]

Morning all, what time do yiz call this?

[JackieClaire]

Morning Tabbers and Mollymoooooooooo
Up, washed, dressed and just my head to put in my make-up bag and I'm ready for work.

[JackieClaire]

Have to admit I could do with one of those..........a week having to get up time after time to put the kettle on has left me zorsted.............and don't mention my hands my finger tips are worn down from turning pages in the books I've had to read.

[JackieClaire]

And now I've got to go the long way round to the Metro as the big field's water logged and I'd be muddy up to my chubby little knees if I attempted to cross it..........sigh.
I'll see you tonight.

First world problems eh JC.

[IamMary]

Morning..
JC is back the real world, takes a while!
Last night going to bed, I realised that I didn't have a craving all evening! so that what is feels like to be 'youse'.:victorious:
Party on friday though, I'll be under pressure.

Any Tuesday plans anyone? Nada here.

Evening all :checkin:

[satz123]

Ah Mary - you'll be fine on Friday. Check in here before you go and we'll 'learn' you what to do
You need a plan firmly in your head. What time you'll go - what time you'll leave - and NB - what you'll say when asked what you want to drink.
The sense of achievement when you negotiate that 'party' hurdle it amazing.
Is Mr IAM going ? Get him on board - does he know why /what you are trying to do ?

[JackieClaire]

First world problems eh JC.

I know, I know and I broke a nail on holiday.

[JackieClaire]

Oh IAM, what a great feeling..........bit weird at first though isn't it :happy2:

Ooh we can have a great time planning what you're going to wear for the party.............this is a week to treat yourself to loads of goodies. Look good and positive you'll feel good and positive.............remember the feeling you had last night................well its a squillion times better surviving the first big outing.
