And I am a firm believer too that if one has been drinking every day and is able to even half the amount of days they are drinking (assuming they're not doubling the amount they are drinking on the other days), then hell, that's a helluva lot better than just giving in and drinking oneself into oblivion.

So I am sorry you caved but you sounds as if you are savvy to how your mind and body are working and you are right back there today with making today AF. Today is all that matters Reccie. :goodjob: It's a battle this journey and my god you're battling like only the best do.

Thanks arsey. Yep, I agree....I'm not sure that counting the days helps me over much because of the way my mind works, but we're all different and for some it may be a good thing to have a goal (x days AF or whatever) to aim for.

I'm definitely trying to be more savvy about the way my mind and body work this time around and I don't intend to allow my recovery to be derailed by the occasional setback here and there. All I can do is aim to be AF for the rest of today and then worry about tomorrow when it arrives, so that is what I shall do.

Hi waggy (and tips again!)

Salad & new potatoes.
We are indoors now and I'd say the barbie will smoulder all night! Could cook for another 20 people................

Dear Reccie:l

So proud of you for coming so far. Well done on not getting derailed by this setback. All any of us can do is aim for today:l

Evening all,
Had a wunnerful arfternoon with Pinkles and Mrs P. Felt like their Mammy. What a lovely couple they are.

Only advice I can give Reccy, is to have a good chat with your alcohol worker. That's what he/she's there for. Any idea why you let the craving get on top of you?

Sleep tight RC, won't be far behind you I don't think, I must be only person in the country who is frozen today, cannot get warm for love nor money.

Sorry I've not been joining in much this last week or so, managed to stay away from AL but its been a rough time as yesterday would have been my husband's 60th birthday so felt a bit low.

Normal service is being resumed slowly

Ooh it's lovely. Gone for a shiny black one this time.

Now here's the thing who would have thought 4 years ago at around 9pm on a Saturday night I would have been near unconscious after a day on the vino and now quick leap in the car, bought a new kettle and 2 magazines and a big bar of chocolate.
