I'm knackered from being out my feet hurt and I was drinking water and ended up waiting over 20 mins to find a bathroom
So I got my trainers and I found a different colour windrunner then I saw a tag saying their only £20 I was laughing I asked the girls who served me and she said yep so got to the checkout and they said £50 I was like the girl said £20 she replied I know it happened this morning to someone else
So ended up paying £50 which is still £15 off their Rrp so not back I'm tired though
So here are my new walking shoes

Well, I'm off to bed. Still feeling stuffed full hours after I finished eating. Carb hangover tomorrow, no doubt. And I just remembered, my hip joints ache when I eat big carb meals now. Annoying how we forget just how rough some things make us feel.

Hi everyone,
I need to be honest with you all - I am back on Day 3. Feeling very disappointed, frustrated and sad that I am having such a hard time getting back on track. Feel like I will never beat this. I'm sure you all are tired of hearing about my repeated slips so sorry, I will post again when I am stronger. I still want sobriety and will continue to fight this. I just don't know why it is so hard this time around. You all are amazing and have helped me more than you know so thank you. I will be back.

I think these two links are probably two of the most useful I've ever read for making a good solid recovery plan, ladybug.

You can do this - don't let anyone tell you you can't- not even yourself.

I had to get away from counting days, and figure out why I actually wanted to stay sober, and that became my daily ritual, not just the racking up days. I feel like you are a little isolated as it is with the girls and drinking is a release, a false sense of a bit of relaxation. I'm an alcoholic, of course I understand. But we are all here, and it would make me very sad to think you felt like a failure and couldn't post. Because you aren't failing, you do want this, but are locked in that terrible cycle of "just one more time".
The point has to come when you are so sick of it and can't take any more.
But we will always be here.xx

Please don't stop posting here. We're here for you whether you're on day one or one thousand, Ladybug. Croissant is right--every day one is a success because it means you're still trying. And I always love that old saying: Don't quit trying just before the miracle happens.
I know I had no idea that my last drink was going to be my last drink, but something changed in those early days of May 2015 and I'm finding a little more peace and happiness every single day since that miracle happened. It can happen for you too. Just keep trying. You'll figure out what works for you if you do.

I've been so good today guys, went to work. I had the option to have these 2 days off but I knew I would drink.
So up at 6 showered , washed my hair, shaved my legs , good grief !!!!! What an ordeal. It's was winter harvesting before spring sets in in a few days.
I coulda made a whole new pet with all that hair!
Anyhow tmi lol. I worked really well, my back felt a lot better which in turn cheered me up.
Had a lovely lunch with all my nursey mates.
Came home took a calming tab which my doc has given me before I enter rehab.
Put the pjs on , Shaun picked Holly up from work and is now taking her to Kapunda. I'm not capabable of doing that one and a half hour drive for obvious reasons. I can't concentrate .
She is so proud of me today it brought tears to my eyes. How sad to be proud of your Mum for not being pissed one day omg!
It is what it is and I saw the joy on her face.
I feel very positive today.
Life is going to be good with all you guys for me to lean on.
Thanks for everything my beautiful mates xxx
