Morning, day 10 here up ready for another day, yesterday was hard work but turned a corner with one member of staff, for now at least - attitude much improved.Other one off sick for a week - which is quite good!I also relented and joined weight watchers last night with a friend who has already lost quite a bit of weight which inspires me.
We talked about not setting a goal yet and just focusing on 7lbs as it's less intimidating,rather than 4 stone,which causes me to quit. Rather like thinking about quitting booze forever,thinking about christmas,holidays,birthdays,weddings etc now - eat healthy now and don't drink booze now.

Off sick myself tomorrow for gynae appt, then training for 2 days.Quite a nice short week - next Friday I have a spa day too

Det - glad to hear from you,and you're having a break - much needed by the sound of it - is booze your way of switching it all off?

Well best whizz - oh and I play roller derby not rollerblading - contact sport on old school quad skates,check out gotham roller girls for an idea!Back at it and happy with that for now.

Hi there everyone thought I better post on Bear's thread as I see her and Mick hit the boards at the same time. Apologies about the mix-up with the roller thing- yes of course they are different. Good luck with the gynae appointment (Bear not Mick:H) and you have a good day too as well Mick.
Good to hear from you Det - but not good as to the circumstances - that sounds like serious heavy duty destructive drinking to me. I hope the vacation lets you relax and that you get some help that sticks this time. Seems you might need some face-to-face therapy - I know you have had it - but maybe another shot. Do you actually get a build-up of cravings for booze or is it wham - I'm going to get plastered -and to hell with it. Any thoughts about trying the meds route? I personally see nothing untoward about trying to enlist some chemical as well as psychological and social support.

Busy here - trying to sort out some writing stuff but got side-lined by issues at work. Thems the breaks. Made family Mexican whatevers tonight - did the best I could with what was in the house - but the troops seemed very happy.
Plus made some cookies.
Hope everyone else is OK - don't worry about the drinking dream SL - as others have said - we all get them from time to time.
You all have a lovely Tuesday - its night here. OK going to press the button and if this message bombs out I will scream??.

Good morning bear & TT!

Just posted on Mick's thread too!
CONGRATS on your 10 AF days bear

TT, I hope work doesn't take up al of your time - save a wee bit for yourself

I'm working my way through some viral stuff my daughter & her family left here last week. Hers turned into bronchitis though so I'm not really complaining. Yuck!

Have a great AF day everyone!
