Aw, shite. Well, today's another day to slay the dragon. Don't be like me and let the latest slip put you on that slippery slope, okay?

Iam on day 7, G. DAY 7!!! Can you believe it? I stayed strong and busy over the weekend and I can't actually believe it myself. Those withdrawals were so horrible and scared the life out of me, the memories are so powerful and I drag them up everytime I think about drinking.

Thank you for being there, posting encouragement in my darkest hours.

Juja, Available, Switch, hang in there. Keep trying to find that switch, the difference between last Monday and this Monday is like night and day. Going for week 2, wish me luck!

:h:hgoodjob: Great stuff Halo. Always remember the hell. Here's to week 2! Bravo!

Good to see you Freefly. Back on the horse friend. Don't give up trying. You can do this, and you will. Keep reading and getting your head and thinking to where it needs to be.

L8tr, Yo!

Hi Juja

Feel like getting another bottle - feeling totally shite! BTW sorry for the computer remark a while ago. Worried I upset you as didn't hear from you for ages. Was only joking! Alas, need to climb back on that wagon again. Gaawd I hate this crap! How you doing anyways? Are you AF??

Hey G-bloke - Happy New Year

Need to find me a mule - these stallions keep throwing me off!

Just don't be as stubborn as a mule FF with the booze. Drinking is just such a negative place to be. Alcohol is a depressant. It makes us depressed, anxious, scared, negative, sad. I always end up dwelling on the negative. I am worth more than that waste of time.

Hi Juja! Get off the slope. It's a lie and a waste of our precious selves.

Thanks G
I know you're right. I feel all those things when I drink and not when I don't. Just got to stop being a weakling giver in person when the cravings come. ok, forget the mule, horsey here I come - again!

Look, it's difficult i know, but not impossible. We have to take that leap and believe that life is a zillion times better without the boring, soul destroying booze.

Go for it Freefly. You are a star, so start believing it.

It's a nice thought. BUT, as we all well know, we must do the work ourselves. Change must come from within ourselves, and the good news is.........we already have the tools. So start diggin'.

so true Mr G so true. my tools seem to be locked in the garage but am looking for the key.

FF i have been busy with xmas and my mums 75th and she finally left today after a bit over a month staying. she loves to have her glass or two of wine a night so of course so did i, but a cple more than her. I did buy an occasional extra bottle and hide it (sad, very sad) but it was not everyday. now its time to find that determination to take the bull by the horns or the mule (do they have horns) and start again. I am planning for next week to be AF completely and that is a goal i have set and will go from there.
Has anyone heard how timpin is going?

AV - wish you well in your resolve and hope to be right there with you. Family always make me go off piste - will have to address that this year if to get anywhere. Anyway good to see you back on the boards

I am on day 9 again.
9 is good, "again" is not good but better than not trying.....this is how I console myself,,,
anyways, 9 day AF, not sleeping but intestinal stuff getting better as is my puffy face and ruddy skin...eyes not so watery anymore...already starting to lie to myself about moderation in future which NEVER works for me but is a lie to get me to rationalize my drinking as if this time it won't end up bad...note to self, it always ends up bad...
