    An older drunk back on day one. Who's with me?

    Hi Mby, I'm so sorry to hear you're having a horrid time. Again, I'd ask have you spoken to HB about it all - told him how that made you feel? Have you told him what you're doing re going sober? Does he drink? Sorry, lots of questions. I know when you're in a critical time, it can seem that the whole world is against you, but you will come through it. The one constant you can rely on is change. How are the finals going? Can you try and focus on the positives in your life at the moment, focus on you and your healing. Every ounce of AF time you manage is a huge positive. Drinking will only make you feel more depressed. Sending you lots of strength and a big fat :l

      Saying hi, not much more - really struggling, so checking in on all my safe places - getting strength from everyone, but on a downer and don't want to bring everyone down with me, so will just read around.....

        SL - try not to let all those thoughts take over. Noone can take away all that AF time. You've had so much to cope with lately and are doing a brilliant job. I bet you've been exhausted too because of all the changes and you know that's a trigger. Be gentle with yourself. Sending you much love :h

          Freefly, I have tried to talk to my hb and family about my problem but they do not believe it is real. I still have a level of control ie I never drive when I have been drinking. I do not drink when I have to go to work. I never drink in public. For these reasons they believe I can stop if and when I choose. It is not that easy. I do not want to hit the downward spiral into hell. I know people say you cant really stop until you hit rock bottom. I recognize I have a problem now. I will continue to strive for more AF days. I can't give up! I need to be free of this monkey on my back, Thank you for all your support. Today I will try again. every day I am sober is a succes

            Mby, you know I don't think everyone has to hit rock bottom. It's a choice. You recognise drinking is a problem for you so good for you in doing something about it. I also don't think it matters whether we're in a relationship or not, what's important is kicking this thing for ourselves. Stay strong and don't worry what others think, just do what's right for you. When we change the inner the outer reflects those changes anyway. It's a win, win when you put yourself first as no matter where you end up and with whom, you will feel better. Keep up the AF days, you're doing great :l

              Mby-
              I agree with FF. We have to do this for ourselves. Sometimes people don't want others to be AF because then they might have to look at themselves and their own drinking patterns. Keep up the AF days.

              Double digits for me today!! Yay. Sleeping so much better and feeling better. Tomorrow night is staff X-mas party. Bought my diet-coke to take. I have no doubt I will make it AF. It is only until 8pm. Will check in after it.
              TGIF tomorrow!

                Way to go CE on double digits and good luck with the xmas party. You're sounding great and I have no doubt too that you'll make it through.

                  FF- Did it! Felt good. Everyone was drinking but not over doing it. No one asked me why I wasn't drinking. Enjoyed myself and am happy I don't have to worry about anything come Monday when I go to work. Congrats on 6 days. I don't know if I should count or not but it is really hard for me not to.

                    Good job Clear Eyes, well done you! Feels good huh. I know what you mean about the counting, I think I last longer not counting cos as soon as I set myself up, I wobble. Anyhoo, have a great week

                        Now we're talkin'!

                        Hi Y'all,

                        Hi Mb. Wishing you a safe, sober, and stress free week. If we think we have a problem, then we do. We are all different, of course. A lot of people just don't get us, except other problem drinkers, which is why we're lucky to have this forum. It's important to bounce idea's, strategy's around etc, and get some feedback i reckon, like you are doing. Keep up the good fight. Take care friend.

                        Hiya FF. Cool avatar!

                        How are you going S/Lass?

                        All good here. Have a great week everyone.

                            K9 "in action" can sometimes be quite scary. LOL

                            Hope you're all well!
