Marhall, well done on day 3! There are so many of us starting out together - keep it going and draw strength from us all - teamwork!!!!
Mauri, can you believe you're on day 6? This week has flown in....hope you're feeling better soon. A hot steamy bath would probably do you the world of good...

Daisy, we should be doctors! You prescribe the bath, I'll prescribe the Magnum bars! We should have her fixed up in no time!

Marhall, Day 3 is a big one....this is one of the big milestones. All the AL is out of your system and you are operating under your own power! You are going to notice a huge difference in your outlook on life! So proud of you!

Maintain a policy of Zero Tolerance!! None, no matter what and no matter who!!! B

Sorry not been about much today, spent time at my DD's cutting the grass and hedges (DH did that) and sorting out cupboards, cleaning etc.... with her, the house has been left in a filthy condition, looks like the previous tenants didn't lift a finger!! We got lots done though and it looks much better. Had a nap this aft as I was feeling rubbish, DS was napping too, think I will be heading off to bed after coronation street as I feel totally crap now

On the AF front, I had to go and buy washing powder and fab conditioner to do DD's mountain of washing (they haven't a washer yet) and meandered down the wine aisle hardly caring at all!! Day seven tomorrow and that is no small miracle for me!!

Thanks Byrdie

Woke up feeling rubbish with my cold, need to get out somewhere with ds as he is better now and climbing the walls with naughtiness [[[sigh]]] god knows where though I HATE the school holidays cos everywhere is so busy !

Not really looking forward to the weekend, I really wish DH and I could get some time to ourselves but the only babysitter we have (his mum and dad) are away this weekend, I feel like my marriage is hanging by a thread because DS monopolises all our time together, he has always been a difficult child but lately he is just unbearable, it is hard going!!

This is a very negative post I know but that is how I am feeling, I can't see any light at the end of the tunnel at the moment, just endless days of looking after a child who thinks it hilarious to misbehave no matter whether I am entertaining him or not, I feel like the worst mum in the world :upset: I have decided to book him in to summer play group for an extra session a week (he was only doing one) to give me some time to myself.

AF Day 7 - I feel like this last week has lasted for ever, I have been thrown so many trip wires but I have stayed strong and can't believe I have actually made it, no idea whether I will continue or not in the long term but for today I will not drink, I am hopefully going to AA tonight but if last night is anything to go by I will want to go to bed at 8pm so may not make it. I listened to my hypno recording last night and read a couple of chapters of Allen Carr (funny I had it in my mind that it was Alan Carr the comedian I don't know where I got that idea!!)

Still feeling rubbish, had a hard day with DS, misbehaving as usual, we went out with a friend and her little boy and DS hit him with a wooden brick leaving a big red mark, that was after smacking him twice and swiping my tea cup trying to hit me and knocking tea all over the floor :upset: I couldn't be more p*ssed off if I tried! Only consolation is it is almost bedtime and I think I am going to join him, my eyes and nose are streaming and I really don't feel up to sitting for an hour in AA!

Tomorrow is as they say - another day and I hope it will be a better one!

Aww Mauri~

You haven't half been through the mill last week and this, but look at you. You're coming out the other end with a snotty nose and flying colours.:goodjob:

As for sending DS to playgroup for another day. You'll both enjoy the time. I hope while he's there you get to treat yourself to something nice.

Sorry to report I caved in and drank on Friday, dunno what made me really, I had a bottle of wine in the cellar that a friend gave me for my bd and I just decided on the spur of the moment to drink it, then yesterday I did the big shop and bought more, drank a bottle and a half last night and not really happy with myself starting afresh today and looking forward to my AL assessment tomorrow, really hoping they can offer me counselling and going to sign up for group therapy ASAP, I was doing so well but obviously I am incapable of doing this alone (even with the help of this forum)

I am sorry to have let everyone down again, I am trying really hard to kick this habit but I guess I am still human and not the superwoman I thought I was!!!!
