hi y'all.
well i'm now at over 7 months. boy. more surprising is that im confident each day that its going to be a life long thing as THIS works for me.
had a really rough couple of weeks, had to go overseas to the UK for what ended up being a really difficult death for me and funeral and living with people who drink like fish.. but i managed it by.. wait for it... actually being honest about it and saying.. i'm not drinking anymore.. or i dont drink and people didnt even question it..
i even fessed up to my mum and told her the WHOLE story and she was great about it.
so having found this internal honesty.. im under more pressure from within and without to continue.
and again, thanks to Kel who has been there with me every step of the way. she is the greatest thing I ever got from this board and tho I dont log on much at all anymore, i'd say that having found someone who had enough similarities to me.. i locked on to her and found that so immensely helpful.. so rather than looking at what others are doing.. we kinda agreed what we were doing so it really felt so not alone.
RJ, thanks again for putting this out there
