Well done Fidel:goodjob:

I'm having a bit of a difficult moment right now. Pick and Pay, with the wine rack, is just around the corner and I am trying not to give into the desire to just blank out.

I have made myself a cup of coffee, eaten 2 bananas and have asked my daughter's to help me dye my hair, blonde..

I'm also off to another childhood..

Only 3 hours to go and I'll be safe.

Hang in there Veritas.

You are doing well!!!! I've also had moment last night when I last expected it. Had made it to bed already and thought phew, another day. And than the craving came for an ice cold glass of white wine. It was very frustrating but managed it eventually.

Veritas.....

You've gone blonde ! Cool !
I strongly believe that we have a dire shortage of blondes in the world.... the more, the merrier....

Anyway.......back to business. Today is milestone for me because it's 21 days AF. I always had this belief of "21 days to break a habit". I know I'm far from out the woods, but my confidence in this keeps growing, and I hope that all of yours does as well .......

PS. who here finds that their appetite goes ballistic since they went AF? It's like, this cr*p never ends... now I have to watch my weight as well ......

It's funny : in a pub I always drank beer. Then I would stop eventually, slalom my car home, and continue drinking with my ever-present 5 man can of cheap wine, which was also good for a few glasses in the morning before I opened my office. ( If I didn't get stopped by a pub on the way there ).

What is it with wine and our condition? When I first started keeping wine at home about 2 years back, a friend warned me that a man drinking wine at home was a sign of alcoholism. Me!? Never?!!

Interesting : could wine in certain circumstances be a symptom?

Fids, perhaps that "few glasses in the morning, before opening the office" may be a tad more of an obvious symptom???? Just a stab in the dark? :H xx

Veritas - how you doing today? Reckon you have made some real progress over the last few days, just from your posts.....Sober life ROCKS, I wouldn't exchange mine for Roubles!! Keep posting, I am enjoying watching you get more and more positive!

P.S I live just out of SA, in a wee spot called NZ :H I Do support your rugby team, however!

Kapo,

At least somebody does.
By the way : how does it feel to live in a country that has more South Africans in it than locals ?

I'm trying hard not to be typical SA country bumpkin, by trying not to assume that you know a couple that were very good friends with me, but moved to your country 18 months back..........

Hey Fidel.

True, true, wine is my real demon. It just knocks you out way quicker than the beers and 'seems' so much more sophisticated. "No I don't have a problem. I just enjoy a good glass of wine!!"
Kapo. I'm glad you support our Rugby team! (Even though I doubt you support us when we play the All Blacks ? )

There is a huge trend in SA of supporting the All Blacks as opposed to the Sprinkboks. I find it awkward.

Anyone interested in a Rugby thread? :P
