hey - where is everyone?
Well day at a time here for me on alcohol and nicotine - days 5.
focusing on allen carr thinking is working for me so ikeep re-reading the same chapters at night.

Couple of mad busy days at work - member of team left today who has been source of much stress to me - not looking forward to increased workload but am looking forward to less grief!

went out for dinner with friend from work - had lovely giggly time - told her that i suffered from depression and that's why I'm always trying to exercise and also stop drinking

eaten far too much chiocolate and no exercise due to leg injury so day of healthier eating tomorrow me thinks.
felt better - and we also talked about our futures - we work for nhs and government are making huge huge cuts. I'm trying to see posiitive in terms of chance for change.
anyway good af evening all to come

Hey Bear! I'm a huge Allan Carr fan, used him 14 years ago for the smokes then again this year for the booze, I still have little cards in my purse that I carry with me at all times with phrases from his book just in case I need reminding when I'm out and about:-

"1st priority - stay sober!, habits are easy to break if you want to, I have control of my life again, alcohol causes stress & anxiety, al is a poison which debilitated each one of your senses, don't forget all the misery, there is no such thing as one drink, I like feeling good!, I love my body - why trash it, were you ever impressed with a drunk? One drink keeps the monster alive...." etc etc, I have about 4 sayings on each of 10 cards the size of business cards... Worth trying.
