Hiya Freefly,

Me too. Thing is, when you have a good session out of the blue, you awaken that instinct again (in my case), and look forward to the next.

Geez, i'm going to get us banned! :H

You seem settled now? I do think the first 30 days regardless of previous drinking/nondrinking history are very important, I thought it was just a figure plucked out of the air, but I have found in the past (said this before, here I think) that my mindset does change after that period, keep rooting G-Bloke

Hiya Molly,

Wow, a granny! Congratulations!

30 days is a classic time frame for getting a perspective on lots of unhealthy habits, whether this be AL, diet, any kind of new venture really. It's not too long a time frame to be overwhelming, and short enough to be do-able, whilst a little challenging.

I'm off for a run. Great to hear you sounding positive as usual, and i see no reason why the bubble would burst.

FF. Go for it!

Thanks for your lovely post. Great going on your AF time, and keep it going friend.

I think you are amazing.

:thanks: To you both. Have been offline this weekend - and am just catching up. I still won't have much to add to this thread - ya'll have been actively fighting this fight longer. I was still swimming in the stuff while you rang the bell and stepped in the ring originally. So - I'll just continue to lurk, cheer you from the sidelines, and hope that I can face the ups and downs with as much dignity and grace as all of you do when I have earned the right - through years of trying to fight the good fight to really be present.

PF said so well. i have had an atrocious week with wine but decided today is the day where i get some control and in the right head space. having tht one drink is such a no no and certainly does not give you the right to drink the bottle shop out in a few sittings. AL is on the backburner for me and hoping wont pop its ugly head out of my arse

I'm also back - new name, new attitude (it's me Angelcakes)
Missed you buddy, glad to be back - you'll be fine.

no molly what u say is soo true. tonight i feel like crap, feel as if i am getting a virus but cld be the AL bless it.
im pretty good at diets lol. lots of self control then and the booze keeps the weight off me.

i just need to AF and get in the right headspace and if feeling like i do now is what i have to go through then so be it.

keep up the god advice (oh typo lol) still have a sense of humour
