Thanks you two for the lovely words and encouragement I love the dancing smilies doggy, and Bruun I need whipping into shape

[Bruunhilde]

Space, I have a feeling you need less whipping into shape than SOME of us! I think I read you run, right? And even thinking you can go to Zumba, I can't even think about it yet. Too many issues with my back and joints right now but GO FOR IT. :l

Bruun I dont know where you read I run but no I dont, I think a run would put me in a big box. I dont excercise at all but know I would feel loads better if I did and have been intending to for ages but its never eally got past the planning and talking about it stage. Thats why I want to go with someone else, like most things in life I think it will be a lot easier with the support of another person.

ps I dont own any whips, I have already told you all that I have been single for a long time

Maybe you need to buy yourself a whip for the holidays. I'd be the fat old chick at the back of the Zumba class lying on the floor with a broken leg after five minutes.

hehe I will probably be joining you. The class we are going to is just a quiet one in a school hall. Im hoping I can just hang at the back and join in with the bits I can, I seem to be getting the impression that your imagining me being the one at the front in leotard and legwarmers giving the whole Fame routine. No Im not a young Jane Fonda, or even an old Jane Fonda, but you never know even at the back Ill still have a go at shimmying and shaking all my big wobbly bits.

LOL, I used to be the chick at the gym with unusally tight abs and ass, and big muscles for a girl. Guys used to tell me I should start to compete in muscle contests. Now I'm back on the floor, over there rubbing my foot. ITS NEVER TOO LATE though, I can be that chick again (although I cut off the XXL boobs).

Oh well, Ive got everything I need for christmas, all the pressies are wrapped and under the tree and all the food bought, I just need to clean the house now but that can wait till tomorrow when my daughter comes round to help me. I saw my doctor yesterday and he gave me 5 days diazipam for over christmas so right now nothing is bothring me much Im feeling very calm and mellow

Got so much to do today cleaning the house. My daughter and her boyfriend are comming down later to help tho. My biggest worry is that my eldest sons new bed is still in the living room and first off his old bed need taking apart, I have no idea how we are going to get that to pieces and its all put together with super strenght glue and screwed in tight so it may end up a smash it up job. Im not sure but I think this the first time I will have been sober all over the christmas period. Im saying that because over the past few years where I have been stopping drinking then relapsing I might have been sober on christmas day but will probably have been on a bender just before or after. It still sometimes feels strange to me to realise that I am actually properly sober and not just AF and waiting to drink again. I feel sure that this is the real deal this time.

I realized that it's also my first Christmas "properly sober and not just AF and waiting to drink again." How about that!? Thanks for the reminder.

The bed in the living room gave me a chuckle. It'll probably be a lot easier to take care of this year when you don't have to close one eye to read the instructions. Good luck with the glue! Hope there aren't too many pieces left over!!

Good news, Bebe. How old is your youngest? I still can't put the gifts under the tree until the middle of the night. It's good I won't be drunk for that! My oldest is 9 and he's still a believer in Santa. I'm worried this year he'll try to stay up, and he'll catch me. I thought I should have the talk with him this year, but now it's too late, and it will have to wait till after. Not that I want to have that talk.

I'm glad your daughter is coming over to help you clean. This will be most helpful.

My youngest is 12 and I had to have the talk with him last year because he was in senior school and still believed, I do however suspect he knew but kept it up for me, but I still didnt like having to tell him about it. But even so I will still be leaving out the mince pie and glass of milk just in case. I dont think Ive seen Joe this excited about christmas before, I think it may be because I am sober and hes starting to trust that now. I have to say that right now Im loving being sober and for the first time Im looking forward to the new year and the new things I want to start doing with my life. All the work is done now, the bed is upstairs and the house nice and clean and tidy. How old are your kids Red. I am tired now but think I might just get a nice bath before bed.

Bebe, my kids are 3, 6, and 9. My nine year old is already asking all sorts of questions today (well he has been). He wants to know how Santa can get all the way around the world. I'm putting up Norad Tracker after I get off here. Santa is apparently heading to Slovakia now. :H I'll let him watch as needed...well until bedtime. You do mince pie, huh? We do milk and cookies, which we started baking a bit ago. Yes, I'm late, but it's still getting done.

I hope you all enjoyed your christmas and especially your little ones red its such a magical time for them and so wonderful for you to be able to share it with them sober We all had a lovely time, dinner here yesterday then today went to my daughters, boyfriends parents house for supper. I was given a bit of money from my aunt so I went to the sale in asda supermarket and bought some new tops and jumpers with it, so I now have some new clothes as well.
I keep on saying this but I am so enjoying being sober right now. Taking antabuse and campral is the best thing I have ever done
