Evening all.. congrats on the lengthy abstemiousness Mr G! And Wavey also, congrats - I know what you mean about the anxiety thing. It is rather difficult to battle any addiction whilst in the grip of fear & loathing. I've been there also for very looong times.

Also have been contemplating the sobriety thing.. feeling cravings still each evening (which i combat with icecream)

Well, g'night folk's. Getting up early to meet James tomorrow, and he can be very demanding, you know. Looking forward to other half of me kebab for breakfast too. A good diet is crucial in helping repair our neurological pathway's.

That choccy fudge will sure get that arse a wobblin' Fickle. Sounds yum. Contemplate away my friend. There are no negatives in being sober.

LOL Have a good night then & enjoy those kebabs in the AM Mr G!
(not sure neurological pathways require kebabs specifically but what the hell)

The last time I managed a long time of gloriously happy abstemiousness myself... I stuffed it all because I decided to have a couple of glasses of wine over dinner with some friends (can‘t quite remember the occasion). Now at some point over AF time my actual ability to get a buzz from a glass of wine with dinner had disappeared. When I did not get the expected buzz (I actually felt a bit yuck) it made so me MAD! Where was the blessed relaxedness I’d expected?.. So I drank a whole lot just to find it. Took me a while afterwards to figure out just what exactly went wrong but I think that was it.

This time I hope to be prepared in advance for that little bit of mental arithmetic. Jeez our brains are tricky things.

Our brains are excellent at getting us to ingest what it thinks, or is 'trained' to think we need. It's a whole body/mind combination, that can be very convincing. My take on it, is we have to re-train, or re-wire our thinking, repair our neurological pathway's too, but new physical routines are essential, and, no alcohol, of course. For me, moderation is a lie, and a time wasting, dangerous lie.

Night Night Mr G.....kebabs contain salad, which councels out any ill effects from the trans fats and preservatives . So you're in the clear.
