Me too, Swordie. Not much of an example myself but ready to listen and offer support.

Hi all Welcome PP, great to have your company here ;)? This is just a flying visit as I'm busy cooking (it'll be the first 'proper' meal I've managed all week - chorizo, bean and pepper stew) and then need to bath and get an early night as have work in the morning. Am feeling SO proud. Not only is ...

Hi Regroupies, Just checking in and saying "hello" and want you to know I am reading posts and thinking about you all. I have not been successful in having many (any?) AF nights lately and just groan inside when I think of trying to be sober again. I always wind up rewarding myself, and it all goes ...

<:)> <:)> Thanks all <:)> <:)> I think I will look into bereavement counselling next week. It couldn't do any harm to speak to someone who's not affected by it. That's one of the things really. As I said earlier I felt so f*cking angry when I read my step-daughter's FB post. I wanted to ring her and...

Its all under control , but im so emotional Gone were the days id try to mouthwash etc before the wife came home. Now i dont care. I really dont care for my life. But i do for my girls, thats whats keeping me here I really want a hug though Stay with us, Drew/Chris Cole - your heart is in the right...

Yo my people! Back from gym via Lidl where I picked up a few plants. Yoga and spin classes done. 535 calories - boom! I've been to the gym 5 days in a row because I have been fortunate enough to have the free time this week, it's been good. It's not showing on the scales yet though :roll: So have o...

It's not boring Zippy - and it IS totally exhausting. Remember to look after yourself in all of this - it's a good idea to make sure you've got easy-to-cook/prepare supplies of food and AF drinks to hand. If you're anything like I was after my OH died, it's tempting just to snack and not really bot...

Swordie and Finley, Thanks for your kind and understanding replies. Yes, BE is the best place to be and I have stayed away because I've gotten back into my nighttime drinking groove again. Over the past year or so, I had surgery that has helped my atrial fibrillation tremendously which made me feel ...

Hi SG and CC - Not doing so well. Proud of you and want to join you as you move forward.

Thanks Danny <:)> Yes, life does feel unreal at the moment and there's so much to do - which I've never done before. I'm a complete novice when it comes to being responsible for everything after a person dies. I've a doctor's appointment this morning and also will take all the medications which OH ...

Hey Finley and all - just want to say I am reading (lurking) and sending love and positive vibes your way.

Bonny

Finley,

My heart goes out to you and OH.

and love,

Bonny

Thanks so much Sue C and Faith <:)> Got up about 7pm, ate some cake and am now ready for bed again :roll: Have to work early tomorrow, so catch up properly in the morning xx Congratulations to both of you! Finley#1, you are the busiest person I know - I hope you get to take some time to relax and e...

Rain indeed Sue, and I haven't brought a coat with me, so am likely to get soaked

Hope it's a good day for all and will catch up properly later xx

Go, Fin - you are an inspiration for all of us!

[quote="Finley"]Hmm. Came back to find OH very unwell from the effects of radiotherapy. Stayed there last night and had to call the doctor out for an anti-sickness injection plus some more medication left to use today. I got very little sleep, so am actually more knackered than before I went - but g...

How many times would you have fish&chips; for dinner?! I did work for an animal health company now im contracting with an agency, less pay but its work. Thats one of the reasons why i drink i think, just how ive failed to get a decent paid job/career Hi CC, I think there are some people who have ver...

TC,

Read your post on the abstinence thread. Congratulations to you! What a great success and inspiration you are.



May the wind continue to be at your back as you continue taking those soul cleansing walks.

Bonny

Welcome, Bobby,

Congratulations on your five days alcohol-free! You will find lots of support on BE so look around and join the conversation. Lots of inspiration, information and compassion here that are invaluable.



Wishing you the best.

Bonny

Wow - ditto to everything above. Lesley and Sandy, thanks for sharing.

Bonny

Hi Chris Cole/Drew, Just wanted you to know I'm thinking about you. Unhappiness is beneath so much of our need to drink and my heart goes out to you, especially since you are so young (from my motherly/grandmotherly perspective). In retrospect, my biggest regret is that I didn't like myself when I w...
