I know every one needs help but I would just rather chat with people who are not drinking at all. There are a lot of thread here to seek help. I guess that is just how I feel. People who aren't drinking are going to give me the best and honest advise the way I see it. That's what I came here for honest friendship!

Nakeeta, I totally understand. When I first got here I was very, very sensitive to all the drinking that sometimes goes on here. It really disturbed me. I understand this whole website is NOT an AF zone and some people feel the need to come here after they have been drinking, and others feel strongly that it is important to offer conversation and support to those who do so.

Now that I have been here a while, I am much less bothered by it, but at the same time I am really aware of how much it can be disturbing to newcomers... I always said, it is like being in an AA meeting and having someone who is drunk, sitting at the table, trying to enter into (or disrupt) the conversation.

I was thinking about the idea of starting a new thread in General (I agree the one in Subs is very good), but there is already a daily AF thread on the "Goals" section, the "Monthly Abstinence" section (sort of an unattractive name, I must say), and that daily thread is for people who are actively working on being AF. I doubt anybody ever goes there and posts while drinking. The thread is a little hard to find because every day the title of the thread is just the date, but you can find it if you go to the directory of the forum, look for "Goals" and "Monthly Abs." I plan to do a lot more posting over there. Good people there.

S.O., Oney, I am not going anywhere! Just wanted some clarification about the thread. I'll be around, all over the site. If not so much on this thread, it's mostly just because I am, by nature, not a very chatty person! No worries, OK?

Can I tell you about my day?
It was brill!

My mum looks more hopeful instead of like giving up. She saw a doctor today who really boosted her confidence about finding stuff to help her lead a more normal life....

My boss has been fantastic and is going to help me loads in my transition from corporate life to dosser.
I am going to stick around at work for a while (partly cos he says I make him laugh?!?) and so that I dont have to suddenly go from working full time to stopping suddenly. It might be a shock to my delicate little system :-) I will probably cut down to a few days a week and might finish completely around Christmas. He has been amazing to me over the last couple of years with all my probs. A good friend. There is a job I could have in a sister company but he's advised me to stay away from it. So thats good enough for me I wont go anywhere near it!

For the first time in quite a few days, I feel feckin great!

Sorry I have been a bit quiet of late.....sure you understand though
