Hi

[Blue Sky]

I'm back if anyone remembers me.

Well every cloud has a silver lining or so they say! Went down with the dreaded flu on 2nd Jan. Terrible start to the new year BUT have had absolutely no desire to drink al at all so now 5 days AF. Have hardly eaten anything this week either so have also lost weight :thumbs:

Am going for the full 30 again to really detox and get into a better state of mind. (I'm a bottle a night of red wine drinker). 2011 is gonna be the year I sort myself out once and for all! Fingers crossed.

PLAN-
Come on here and post not just lurk
Exercise more
Keep drinks diary (think it all started going wrong again when I stopped doing that)

Best wishes to everyone out there it's good to know you're there!

Hi Bluesky, and welcome back. Taking some time to allow your head to clear is a great idea. Don't forget, you need to hydrate and get some healthy nutrition into you as soon as you are able. I hope you feel better soon.

Hi Blue

I'm new here but it's great to see someone come back and give it another go. Sorry to hear about the illness, but as you say, every cloud has a silver lining and you've been able to steer clear of the booze as a result. Well done! I'm on day 5 tomorrow and doing OK today so I guess we'll be going through this together.

Best of luck and see you 'round the boards

Hi

Blue Sky, Welcome! Think you must have been before I joined, but good luck...........I am a firm believer in needing a pretty big period of AF time in order to be able to mod.

Good luck!!

Hi Blue,
There's lots of us abstaining in january so the more the merrier. x

Hi

Morning Bluesky!

I think you must have been here before I joined as well, so welcome back! I'm on day 12 myself after slipping around Christmastime. I inadvertently moderated then, however, but didn't feel so great as I was supposed to be abstaining!

Anyway, I have decided to give it 6 months and then see how I feel about modding.

Have a great AF day!
