24 more please. Very sad to wake up to the news that Ant McPartlin, has put a 3 year old in hospital after a 3 car smash in London yesterday. Arrested for drink-driving. Not like he couldn't afford a taxi so no sympathy from me, I'm afraid.

Good morning all!
I'm having a catch up now because I can feel a busy day coming on. Got a 9.30 meeting and it will end up with a long list of jobs I'm sure!
Things are slowly calming down here. I actually managed to have a grown up talk with my partner about things and after a bit of a prickly start we came to an understanding. When things are good we are great. When things are tricky we are like a pair of kids.
He did at one point (when discussing my alcoholism) say "have you every thought what it's like for me?". Truth is not much I'm ashamed to say. I'm so focussed on myself I forget that he too has given up drinking (apart from very occasional nights out) and I don't get much space left in myself for us as a couple. Food for thought..........
I would love another 24 hours of freedom please. Lots of love to you all

I have no room to be judgemental at all having been convicted of a DUI myself and riving under the influence many many times.....
Clearly he has rushed back to work (or been coerced into doing so) and hasn't addressed his addiction issues properly. As we now know putting the bottle (or indeed the pills) down is just the start of our journey.
I suspect he will pay a very high price for this. Not just a conviction but this may well end his career as we know it. Addiction doesn't care how rich or successful we are. It in a non-discriminating destroyer of lives. Poor Ant is facing up to this the hard way as many people do.
What I find quite upsetting is how I suspect he will very swiftly become vilified over this. Of course he has broken the law and risked lives. Who here hand on heart has never been in the situation where lives have been at risk? I certainly was often.
Do we judge and vilify a reckless act or do we sympathise with a fellow alcoholic for not addressing his addiction?
More food for thought......

Morning JoJo, gorgeous one. Good luck with your 🕤
Still snowed in. Forces me to work on sitting with myself, the silence and stopping the racing thoughts. I’m doing 👌 but I do have an acute sense of when someone’s doing me an injustice and I really feel like that about my in laws. But, it’s the old question, do I want to be right or do I want to be happy? And since they are not here under the duvet with me right this moment isn’t that a relief!!! How grateful am I for that 😷😃
Love you honey and will pray for your work. Love for everyone and may we all get some work done and end our sober 24 feeling like we achieved something

24 please. 8.54am and still feeling a bit rough. Mentally better though. So today I'm starting to learn to love myself. I found some really good online CBT exercises to root out that awful inner critic, that part of me that thinks I'm worthless, and ask her to please vacate the building as she is not useful or helpful. She is generating all this fear and I don't want to be afraid, I want to be happy.
So LOVE to myself, LOVE to you all and praise to GOD 💗
Morning Jo, Morning Weev, Morning Zanna and everyone.
Congratulations to all our milestoners today !!
Jack, I can believe you were eating deep fried mars bars!!! I thought us up here were the only ones mad enough to deep fry chocolate. Where are you from?
Morning Juliet, Morning Tomls, almost missed you two! X
