    I am on 9 days now - which I know is a bit rubbish.

    Not drinking huge amounts as a bottle of wine took 3 days to drink so not too bad in units terminology.

    I'm feeling stronger and more positive this week after a todo with ex last weekend - turned the corner into the single lane of life with a look of relief on my face at last and some happiness appeared as I left that relationship behind to never return to look at again.
