I remember reading Bridget Jones Diary back in the day, seeing the film with girlfriends and completely relating to her. To carry in the same way would just make her a sad old lush now. <br /><br />Good luck with the back to school preparation. I am trying to bribe/threaten/cajole #2 son to get a haircut. We are making progress, he did shower this morning small mercies and all that.

The big difference between me and her was that she always wrote down her weight and already the wine witch had added quite a few pounds to me. Even then I knew drinking was making me pile on the weight. I am delighted to say the most of it has gone now 16 months down the line! 400 posts is amazing and thank you so so much for continuing to post. I actually feel sorry for newly sober people out there who don't know about you because I am 100% sure I wouldn't have stayed af without your blog! What a shame if that documentary has gone forever. .... I'd be joining the others looking for it! Bet you checked before you posted though.
