Well, I haven't been "good" at being sober lately. Actually, I have been "good" at getting drunk. I've started taking topo again trying to get that in my system and I'm giong to take a mini test starting today. No alcohol till the weekend. In theory, this should be really easy and as I always do I think clearly in the morning about how I'm not going to drink tonight but this week I'm going to make it happen!

Ok.....so yesterday didn't turn out the way I wanted. I didn't get bombed but had 3 drinks. I don't want to sound like that was success cause it wasn't. I did make it to the gym and ran a mile and half so I do feel good about that at least.
Why does it always come down to one critical decision moment? You know, the moment when you choose to drink or not to drink. I've done 30 days of AF before and I know of the feeling of power you get. I was sure i wasn't going to drink last night but......well, you guys understand how it happens. It always happens around 6 or 7pm at night, when you start to unwind. URRRRGHHHHH.

Hey Magnum, make a plan for you witching hour.
So I am going to unwind and ......read a book, watch a film, go for a run, chat to a mate, come on here or anything to divert your attention from that little voice in your head telling you its a good idea to have a drink. That voice is a liar.

Hey Magnum,
Yep, the trick is to keep busy ... I found that by jumping on-line for a quick chat or to read the days posts really helped me through some tough times. Oh and the other thing I have recently discovered is Suduko (sp?), I am hooked and it keeps my mind busy for ages."The person who says it cannot be done should not interrupt the person doing it"Comment
