Nice one

I always believed you could do it

I always knew I could too
And I know you can do this, it will be hard tomorrow, but you can get through it, you've been through harder times before and come out the otherside.
Is your OH supportive?

I don't suppose then that if you fell and broke your leg you would sit down with some wood and string and set your leg in splints. There are times when even the stongest among us need help. Not to admit to the possability of this is yet another symptom of this illness

We'll see tomorrow, no use worrying about it now.
Hope miros OK, I think I'll stay on here from now on.

Yeah, the times before have been much harder, never quite managed to kick the ciggies before though.

Yes my OH is supportive, but I don't believe anyone can be that supportive, if you can't do it by yourself you're knackered, you can't be with someone else 24/7.

You are doing really well fg. I am fine thanks just concerned that while the physical symptoms have subsided the craving is growing but i am hoping that will ease. I just never felt like this before, but then have never tried to give up before. When i gave up for 3 wks i always knew i would drink again. There is just this awful dawning realisation that if i know what is good for me i have to give up for good and that scares me, but it also scares me to continue drinking coz i was having to drink more and more. I hope this is typical.

Thats a very good point, if I feel overwhelmed, I try to remember that as well. Often I'm panicking too much and I don't though. Must try harder

i just tell myself every morning im not going to drink today, maybe tomorrow. but ill deal with that when it comes. if i start thinking ill never drink again. most of the time it makes me wanna drink. for me it all comes down to fear. most of my stuff does one way or the other.

Lewt it still hasnt arrived:( Today was the worse for the craving i sound a moaning minnie. its just maddening to be so needy over something, i am angry that i allowed myself to get into this bloody position, and frustrated with myself for being so piggin emotive about it.
