I certainly won't Bismarck! I think its great that we can all have different views and discuss them, and think everyone's point of view is valid.

Hi all!

Hope you're all doing ok.

I am on day 8 now, and really feel that I have more energy which is amazing because my sleep is completely shot! I am having the most vivid and awful nightmares - does anybody relate to this? Could it be withdrawal do you think?

Anyway, Becks alcohol free lager is on a good offer at Tesco this week, and if you stick it in the freezer for an hour its not too bad, you can almost kid yourself that its the real deal! We usually have a takeaway on a Friday, so I've got a couple of Becks chilling right now, because the thought of a curry and cup of tea or a bottle of coke just doesn't cut it for me.

As for the word "alcoholic" in my mind, it is just that - a word, a jumble of letters. And labels are for jars in my mind! All I know, is that deep inside, I didn't feel good physically when I was drinking too much - that little inner voice kept niggling away - and I knew it was too much - for me. My "too much" may be fine for some one else - my "just right" may be way too much for someone else. What I'm trying to say is I think we all "know" when we, personally are overdoing it - and its personal to us, and our makeup and mentality, and no one needs to put us into a little box to tell us whether we need a label or not, because inwardly - that little voice tells us all we need to know.

Have a great Friday evening,

and thanks for being here.

oi oi oi NTC & fedup - pls don't go! NTC in partic so many of your posts have completely mirrored my feelings I would really miss you (tho it would save having to keep on saying "I know JUST what you mean!") (fedup, no offence, NTC's been on here a while longer, is all, your posts also meaningful).

Biscotte, you used that phrase again - "I was in denial." as in well known African riv.....OK!!!! it's the only joke I know!!!!!!!!!!

Erm, not sure what to say next, am happy to not use the a-word ever again, as long as nobody thinks I'm going for a swim in a well known African ri......

Lurky where's your "calm down dear"...

I have relied on this thread so much & I know I'm not the only one; don't let it fall apart over a few not-so-well-chosen words....

Edit: Hi MP you posted while I was writing, hope you enjoyed your bath!! x
