Good morning my darlinks and lovelies and magnificents including those yet to drop in.

We've got another 20 days before November..........I'm still of a mind for the monthly. Just because even now I wouldn't read back on a humungous thread.

[JackieClaire]

Hello, love.
Think its who gets up first at the beginning of November

[JackieClaire]

That's impossible

Well the sofa and big chair have gone to the great soft furnishing heaven. :wings:

Rightio on with the day.

Afternoon folks.
Questy I know you probably drank last night - but check in anyway.
Staying away solves nothing.
I was still drinking when I started posting here, as were many.
Started & stopped as you are doing , as did many.
But gradually with perseverance you will start asking yourself what is it you really want.

I like to think there are lurkers -- I lurked and learnt a lot

Lukrking and learning, just don't fell as if I have much to say/add

[Mr Vervill]

Yes, it does take determination, but if we can be so damned determined to drink to the point of getting drunk every night, we can turn it the other way and be just as determined to not let that happen, to not take that first drink, but to think it through and do something else to keep us occupied or to satisfy us in some other way. Just keep at it. It can be done.

Crazy, but some nights I drink when I don't even feel like it, FFS

Edit: Congrats on a year Stirly!!

Ha ha and insomnia is not even one of my problems

I am happy to go with whatever folk want. It was just an idea but I am happy to keep it monthly

Oh Mr V I have done that soooooo many times. That is the habit part of it all. That is one reason why I needed to stop as on top of the addiction I had a very strongly entrenched habit that was not even enjoyable most of the time.

I second this. If you keep posting and reading even if you are having a drink it will get into your subconscious. I always found that if I didnt that is when the trouble started as I was able to park it and forget what I really wanted

[paulywogg]

Agreed with Satz and Starty,on my many benders I've continued to post and read ,of course being open about the drinking, I would never post and say I wasn't drinking if I was in fact drinking, too guilty to do that plus I actually wanted the help even in the midst,I think that by reading/posting there's always been something or someone that has said something to give me a wake up call, if I'd have been away doing my own thing I don't know if I'd have been able to get the balls to keep getting back on the sober train, Mr.V I too have drank when I didn't even feel like it, that's got to be one of the craziest habits, or drinking when you have a cold,it's like duh,have a great day all

[JackieClaire]

Evening from this side of the big pond.

How utterly mad/insane it is that even when we felt like crap we drank.........I did it too and not to put too finer point on it would sometimes throw up the first one............but I had an iron will and would keep at it. Think I'm using that iron will now not to drink

[starty]

Evening all.

I wish they would check in. No matter what the situation just check in and say hi! Also Tony doesnt seem to be posting anymore. I see he is racking up the days but would be nice to see him

Come on guys we worry about ya!
