        I went on a 2 hour mountain trek today in the rain and cold. Have had a bath and snuggled in front of a blazing fire with some warm cocoa. Not a bad way to celebrate 60 days.

        Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.

                      Aw thanks Guys. To be honest, it really is just sheer determination. I know it sounds cliche and cheesy but it's a case of if you put your mind to it you can do anything. I really never expected to be AF for even 6 days never mind 60. I always thought I'd moderate and be one of those people who can take it or leave it. I discovered that I can't take it - end of story.
                      The days turned into weeks and now I'm on months.. here's to making it years. Still day by day though!
                      I owe a multitude to this place. It's been my sounding board and it's paid off.

                      :thanks:

                                Hello All. I am a Newbie that screwed up yesterday. I was doing so well all last week and the beginning of the weekend, but yesterday afternoon I got into the schnapps. I don't usually care for the stuff, but the schnapps was literally the only alcohol that was open in the entire house (at least I resisted opening a bottle of wine... I thought about that). I must explain that Sunday is usually a big cleaning day for me and I usually have a glass of wine while I am cleaning, followed by a second glass and some "me" time (pedicure, watch a movie... etc). Before my depression got worse, I could easily keep it to two glasses but now I want to "keep up the good numb feeling" so I can easily empty a bottle or two. So... since I was cleaning yesterday and I knew the schnapps was open, I decided to add some to my apple juice. Then added more... then more. I did not black out but I definitely feel it this morning. I tried to kick start the morning right... lots of water with lemon, Greek yogurt with blueberries... and maybe a coffee in a few hours. But I feel so stupid and I can't believe I was so good and so driven all week, only to fail on Sunday. I can't explain what triggered the drinking. Habit maybe? I was not craving AL, so why did I give in? Anyhoo... I want to be accountable for my actions so I'm changing my AF day to today. I'm sorry to let everyone down.
                                Would you like you, if you met you?
