hello everbody, my names Julie and i am sober for 12 weeks now , it would have been 17 weeks but after 5 weeks i had a bottle of sherry, i dont know why perhaps i thought it would be different, it wasnt, i was right back again where i left off,
i ve been a hard drinker for over 20 years and i just couldnt take it anymore, i could barely walk from alcoholic neuropathy, i could only wear a pair of old fashioned shoes, as anything else was excruciating to walk in, i had a fatty liver also, i actually consider myself lucky to only have had a fatty liver after all the wine and sherry i have poured down my neck ,i really should be dead, still, its all in the past i really dont want to go back to the dark days, i feel so much better than i have ever felt,
i look foreward to 'meeting' you all, reading the forums and just staying sober

Hi Julie,
12 weeks sober is very good going.
I can feel your pain with liver and nerve problems.
Keep the dark days in the past.

hi julie, i am in the uk too, well done ,i wish i could get started, i have had a few af weeks in the past but cant seem to get started again, i have cut back tho to some extent and do feel it will happen quite soon, sometimes i pour a glass of wine and think, actually this is quite boring i don t really need this, then i think oh well ive poured it id better drink it, makes no sense, but there you go thats where i am at at the moment, look forward to chatting with you soon, love and hugs Tawnywitch.
