16th August ( Not that I am counting). The key is in the last bit. One day at a time. It is often mentioned on here but soooo true. I try not to think of events that are coming up only I will not drink today.

Something has just clicked in my head ATM and long may it stay there

I sometimes look at myself from the outside, as others may see me, and see how silly I look gulping down beer, sneaking out to put it in the recycling bin and trying to hide how much I have drunk. If it is not a problem why hide it

Ym,

I think I noticed a change in your attitude after the tangochick post. I think you have been alcohol free since then ... am I correct?

Do you know what 40SM. You may be right . Strong post that one so must have had more of an effect than what I thought.

Only been away for the morning and another half hour to catch up on.Good job I havn't any holidays planned:D

On the subject of going to the pub,parties etc....I did find this very hard when I first gave up....and so I ALWAYS drove if I had to go somewhere.

After I had given up for about six months I went to a family wedding......Here is what I posted the next day on here.......

Yesterday at the wedding was really hard.The hardest day since giving up.
We were sat 4 to a small round table with three bottles of wine per table:eek: :eek: :eek:
The sherry and champagne also flowed freely all day.
Boy was I tempted ,as we were even in walking (staggering????)distance of home.
I decided to just have a small glass of champagne to toast the Bride & groom :rolleyes: but some one was watching over me.
My brother in law said 'will it be the first of 'Oh , ive had one so one more wont hurt?...... and I new it would, so I sheepishly raised my glass and then poured the champagne into my DH glass.

How I survived I'll never know but I did.
DH could hardly stand when I drove him home;) :rolleyes: :A
I am sooooooooooooo proud.
Its all thanks to you peeps on here that I stay on the straight and narrow.

It is just over a year since I wrote that and I am still here and still AF.


It can be done so good luck and thank you to you all.
The support is brilliant.
Take care of you
Love Mollypollyxxxx

Good luck Jo - I know it's not easy!

Today's my first "3rd AF day in a row" for I don't know how long - I'm allowing myself a drink at weekends, but even though it's Friday tomorrow, that seems a long way off at the mo!
