    Hi GP - goin' good! Thanks for dropping in!

    Although I haven't been posting, I have been lurkin regularly. I warned you I was finding it hard to stay away.

    I'm thinking about starting my own "giving up / cutting down on the 'giving up / cutting down on the alcohol support thread' support thread"

    :)

    He reckons I have changed over the past 3 months (whilst cutting down) and thought I had found someone else - because I wasn't constantly relying on him for reassurance, etc etc etc.

    That hits the nail on the head. This is how my OH is. I think he actually likes me drunk. How bizarre. Does make me wonder if I've ever been truly sober since I met him lol!!!:rotfl:

    Miss P

    Is done, & good for you! Funnily enough I gave you a jumper this morning for hitting double figures despite no target then thought, now EVERYONE will want one (esp that Lurky who's already tried it on once ;) ).

    Thanks WB :)
