Mike I am so glad you are back! I thought of you often and knew that something serious was going on. What are they doing for your kidneys?

I love coming here and seeing so many people on the mend. The longer the mending the happier they seem....also no bullshit about going back.

Today I met with my wine/liquor store client. I did not drink wine or liquor.....even as an alkie that stuff took my feet away....literally.

Anyways after 2 years he offers me a glass of wine today. I was kind of relieved as we now live very close to his store....and I knew he kinda wondered why I never bought wine there. I said "thank you, but I can't drink wine as it hits me hard". He was fine with that.....but the wine rep there kindly explained that it was all about tolerance and it was something I could work on so I could drink wine. I replied, "umm at my age I am focused on accomplishing other things". He then offered me some cheese

The really funny part was going into my clients office and there were empty wine glasses everywhere.....and a huge spittoon filled of spit out wine. Gross! And the owner complained to me that one of his employees was not spitting it out and clearly drunk. The wine store owner clearly stated to me that he did not like to be around drunk people. Probably seen more than his fair share of them

Came home and went shopping with my youngest and had a blast! I thought sober life would suck.....turns out its way more fun....even doing shopping

Congratulations Elvis. You are hanging in there. Everyone is doing great. I'm so glad to be here instead of in bed with a hangover.

Fallen-Congrats on Day 2.. CL on Day 6 and sound so good.. Glad you're better Mike... REd, I think I was here w you in February? Welcome back to us both!!!! Husband really wanted a beer or drink today but we have none .... Normally I would have encouraged him to go get some absolutely.... He's NOT an alkie... So I could drink, but I just kept on sewing/watching shark week and asked kids to make tea.... And now here I am sober and proud

Glad to hear all doing well... Pinecone, neddy, sunflower, k9, Byrdie, Tess, lavande,
Please pardon if I skipped anyone .... So hard to do this on iPhone and my computer way up front and occupied

Good morning Nesters. A quick fly by from me. No spider or mascara incidents to report this morning so it's all good

Rahul, you are doing great. I am no medical expert but I am guessing that Alcohol was a big contributing factor, stay off it and you can only get healthier!

Mike, it's good to see you back. Kidney failure sounds terrifying. It's a lesson to us all, we are not invincible to the effects AL can have on our bodies. Hope you are feeling better, stay strong :l

I have to dash off so I can't do the list thing, just have a wonderful day all Nesters, take care of yourselves, I'll post more this evening. :l

You were the first one to write me a private message on Aug. 2nd (my day 2).
That it was enough to make me feel special, and really believe. I CAN BEAT THIS!

This site is most certainly invaluable!!
Thank you again, My friend!!:l

Hi Cyn,

Thank you for your kind words. And you are absolutely correct: you can and will beat this! And you are special, totally one off and completely unique. Never lose sight of that and never let alcohol convince you otherwise.

Good Morning all,

Starting on day 2, yet again. I made bad choices over the weekend, so I'm regrouping, refocusing and giving this another try.

Have a great day!

Hello lovelies - hope everyone is well.

Day 3 complete - day 4 just begun.

Went for a meal with my partner last night and had jasmine tea instead of wine. Sat by the canal and watched the world go by, he had a cider and I had mineral water and a cigarette (I'm not ready to give those up quite yet). I tried one sip of cider (I'd never tasted pear cider before) but really didn't want any more.

I feel, kinda....smug.

Hello, I'm new here although I have been looking at the site loads . . . . Today is a new start beginning with change in routine for evenings which is my problem time, although something quite often clicks in my head around late pm saying "it's okay". Cup of tea for me tonight when I get in (after cycling part of way home). So Day 1 for me . . . . .
