Hello everyone. Well I crawled back on the wagon tonight so that's an amazing :rolleyes: 3/10 in December so far. I have a cunning plan for 2010 to not drink on at least alternate days. I think that should be simple enough for me to understand. A target of 16 for January is higher than I've managed all year but everyone else shows me it's not impossible. And a single AFD is better than I did Jan 09.

Going away last week was fun but I will try to have another AFD tomorrow, one day at a time I guess.

Hope you are all doing well. G'night and sleep well.

Yep....I'm reeling. dancing on the ceiling (cue Lional Ritchie)...loving it though....so much better than, 'where can I get my next drink?' Christ, after all this time, as my whole family went out for a drink tonight, I SO wished I could go with them, but I don't trust myself, and I can't stand the gossip in such a small place, but the temptations still there- hate it, hate it, hate. I will not drink today, and I want to be able to say that every single day forever, thats all I want, not to be a hopeless alcoholic anymore.

Come on guys, get yourself free from the grip of this stuff if you're stuck- you can live without it, honestly.

Loads of love Eselt

Dropping by to say hi, and 22 now for me please, Marru.

Sounds like some of us are resorting to sweet things instead of drink. I'm pigging (sorry Miss Piggy:o) on Lidl Xmas marzipan this evening and am hoping someone will give me marrons glaces for Xmas prezzie.

This is a hard time of year, I'm following Eselt's example and living a very quiet life, helped by still having a cold. I don't feel like I'm missing out too much as one of the many reasons I drank was because I used to get nervous at large social gatherings!
