Good Morning from beautiful sunny France: Buckeldown and Sunflower:welcome: and nice to see you again Starlight and Riker, Hi to all us other "Newbies", glad to see we are all doing well and for those who are struggling - today is another day - try again - today will be better I'm sure - we are all with you - good luck - you can do it. :agreed:
I have just read through yesterdays mails and I am sitting here chuckling away with a smile brightening up my face. You guys are brilliant with such a fantastic sense of humour and I just want to thank you all for giving me a great start to my day.
I see that some of us are struggling with weight, I am one! I sincerely thought that as soon as I stopped my nightly poison of 1 1/2 bottles of wine that my excess weight (13 kgs) would melt off. Well, la-de-dah, 37 AF days after; strict diet; daily exercise; shoot, I've only lost 4 kilos. How disheartening particularly when others around you have lost the same amount in 14 days. Naturally, I became slightly discouraged but some wonderful member came along and advised me to keep going, as "slow" loss is better than "quick" loss. So for me it's the same programme as for the wine - one day at a time - and yeah it's getting better all the time. Sorry but I'm going to rattle on about exercise again but it really does help with both alcohol/weight and even better, our inner spirit, so whether it be: swimming, walking, jogging, biking; try to get going, it's mind blowing, and with music plugged in it's a trip in itself, a much better trip than a bottle and a 1/2 of vino! Anyway, that's my advice for today for anybody struggling with alcohol/weight, get out and walk, whatever, breath in some fresh air, look around and thank god you are alive and physically able to stand on two feet to be able to enjoy life. There are others much less fortunate than ourselves who would give anything to be in our shoes, so let's get on with it, our bodies really don't deserve the poison we have been pouring into it, come on let's give our bodies a break, be nice to them today!
That's enough, over to you guys now, have a great day and see you all tomorrow.

PS - Change - Forget the stage fright, jump on in and start us off one day, it would be an honour.
Love you all, take care.

) but this is a long term life style change and I figure it will take my mind and body awhile to catch up to the changes. Screw the scale, my pants nearly fell off! 
How's that for instant gratification?
