Hiya All,
Ezzmae, I am originally from Oz where light beer is common, Here In Scotland you would be hard pressed to find any! it is seen as being rather ' soft ' to drink light beer here which I think says something incredibly sad about their drinking culture ( I love the rest of Bonnie Scotland! ). I am glad that you are not being hard on yourself for your slip as that was/is always the hardest thing for me when I am hungover..the guilt and shame. It's all in our mind , the guilt and shame do not exist in reality, you can't touch it and it is not written on our foreheads for all to see. I always find it hard to articulate myself here, hope it makes sense.

Made it through my third night. Doing okay.

Good for you, Paw. That is a big, brave thing to do. I can't even make myself tell my husband. Good going.

Keep it up "time" day 4 often sucks. I consider myself lucky that hitting "bottom" didn't involve me killing, hurting or losing my wife/ kids. My wife is the brave one- SHe is supporting me through this. I think it will be harder on her, not really knowing if I truly am staying sober.

Hey ODATers!

Sounds like it's a good day, Ezzy, you have such an amazing attitude. Paw, I'm so happy you told your family. It's fantastic. Yeah, day 4 is the worst. I hope it goes by fast. AF yesterday again, feel good today but don't want to face work. At least I have work so I shouldn't complain.

Have a great day, everyone!

Hi ODATers!
Good start to the week eveybody?? Weekends are always a loss for me, not that I drink during the day, only late in the night once I am done everything, but i am succeeding on not drinking on work nights, so that's not bad. Tired today - dentist appt at 7:30am. And who said something about cold??? I am soooo sick of it - windchill warning today, only -32C but -44C windchill. I had to run to my building from my parking spot and I neglected to plug my van in - hope it starts later!

Gonna try make the rest of the month of January AF!
Best to everybody on this thread!
xoxo peanut

Pnut, I am having the same pattern. Still have a hard time on weekends, but AF through the week. It's a process. Even though it is not perfect, I am happy that I am moving in the right direction for now. It's certainly an improvement over seven days a week! I'll keep at it! At least Monday am was HO-free for me!

Everyone sounds like they are making good progress. I gain a lot reading your posts.
