    Seconded & hello! :wave:

    Can we call JG? :)

    Lots of people on here are fighting on the giving up battle & generally winning. Some of us (like me) are trying to cut down. Either way there's loads of support & a lot of silly humour :D

    Welcome JeffG- you'll get loads of support on here, sounds like you've had/are having a pretty tough time-keep posting and we'll do all we can to help. Nice bunch of people on here.

    What are your aims? Do you want to cut down or stop completely- or haven't you really decided yet?

    Hope everyone is OK tonight, take care.

    Hey all,

    Not sure what my aims are about alcohol. AA has drummed it into me that I can't moderate so I havent even gave that a thought. In six weeks I have had 6 days where I have drank. I would love to just have a couple of drinking days. But not sure. Alcohol is not the answer for me it just makes things worse.

    Whats everyone doing tonight. Im just off to meeting then home to watch X factor and early night!

    Hope everyone had good night moderating or staying off!!


    hugs
