Yup! And you've done good I'm glad you can see yourself how good of progress you have made. Some times it's hard to see that in ourselves even tho people point it out.

Good job!

I'm in

Pretty good thanks, Sleeps. My Mum's here for dinner and to stay the night with her adorable old dog, Spot. He's part Jack Russell and part Foxy....a perfect ginger spot on his back, hence the name. Mowed the lawns. Vacuumed. Bit of grocery shopping. All in all, a good day :-)

Ok guys, well glad we are all here who else is in?
Today was kinda rough, had maybe 3 hours sleep and then lunch with the bf's family. I am no good without sleep and was just a mess this morning, well I only fell asleep at 8 a.m.
Food was good. Had to do a little work afterwards. Glad it's over but kinda wired now, not able to sleep, headachey and nervous.

I am a hotel housekeeper. Business is slow here except in the summer, so I take all the hours I can get right now!

Ah yes, I think you mentioned that elsewhere.
Well someday you'll have to write a Housekeeper's Memoirs...

BF's mother handed me the drink menu today and pointed out their craft beer selection- big weak spot for me. I wasn't even vaguely interested just said no and had a very, very good cup of tea.

Hi Sleepie ( and all!),
I'm definitely in!
After lurking for the past month, it's about time I peeped over the parapet!!! I'd rather not post in the Newcomers thread but would be happy here if that's OK?
In my 50's, I've been binge drinking at weekends for the past 30 odd years. I decided 41 days ago that enough was enough and have been sober since then.

Thank god for this site and the regulars on board. I've had some awful symptoms but think I'm over most if the physical stuff now and it's just a question of establishing who " I" actually am without the mask of booze!

I read the site avidly, so I'm delighted to join this challenge.
Take care
TC x

Hi All;
Just a quick break from cleaning house to say howdy
Well done on the tea sleepie--craft beer is a weakness for me too.

Hi SW how are you today?

I may get more tea. It was just plain decaf nothing fancy or herbal. I have dandelion and milk thistle tea but they don't taste like much.
