Hi everyone, just wanted to say a huge thank you to all that sent me kind messages when I first began posting a few weeks ago. After a shaky start, I finally seem to have made some bonafide progress. Six full days AF and counting. The breakthrough has been helped in no small part by my actually being able to admit EVERYTHING to my partner - not just to the quantity I was drinking (she'd pretty much guessed it was more than the sum of the 'staged' empties on top of the bin each morning), but also my state of mind and what has been sustaining the compulsion to drink so much for so long. How a human being can be so understanding and compassionate whilst hearing how they've been deceived and patronised for over two years I will never know. But her conditions were unyielding: sort out your drinking, or leave.
No middle ground. No second chances.
As stringent a motivational tool as it was, it's proving uttterly effective.
So, anyways, I'm feeling (a litttle) better - if a little strange. I'm not sure that my body really remembers what it's like to subsist on a diet of de-caff tea and fruit smoothies. Tough; it'll just have to get used to it. Thanks again one and all, and I wish you the very best in your own efforts.
