Inchy, even though we are across the pond from each other, am reaching out. You don't have to succumb to Alcohol's lies. Here are my suggestions -- go for a walk, spend five minutes taking really deep breaths, go to bed with your favorite music on. Anything but don't blow what you have worked so hard to achieve. Not now, not today. Keep the focus.

ok, good to hear that you are ok for tonight.

So, here's my request. If tomorrow AL comes tempting, just once, say no thanks cause Free is going to check up on me and I can't bear the thought of her giving me the what for. Yes, I know I always seem just SO NICE, but I can be a grumpy middle-aged lady and you don't want me on your case.

So, push that jerk AL aside and draw another one of your great images. Time for a new avatar?

Inchy- sorry to hear that you're struggling. You have friends here and people who do care about you:l

I second Free's advice- try do something/anything to distract yerself for 5-10 mins. You have worked too hard and come too far now.

We are here rooting for ya:l:l

Inchy, I'll be online for the next hour if you want to PM me. Don't go into chat because I have trouble hearing so text is best for me. If you want to talk, I'm on line.

i made 90 days af before starting to moderate around 3 weeks ago, since then i have had about 6 glasses of wine and a beer. i intend to pursue moderation for the forseeable, i do not ask for advice on this, i would also prefer it if any judgmental comments were left out. this is my choice and i'm posting it here for the sake of honesty. thank you

Hi Inchy,
Congrats on such a major accomplishment. I am a big believer that everyone comes to this journey from his/her own experiences and each of us needs to figure out what is right, there is no one solution fits all. Am here to support you in your efforts, whether that be moderation or abstinence. Just want you to be at peace, to pursue your creative arts, and to feel connected to a world larger than yourself. Sending thoughts of strength and peace.
