Good luck with the job, what have you gone for?

Hi all

Not doing too badly, not had a drink and don't want one. Managed to catch a horrible cold though and have spent the whole day sneezing. I feel pretty rubbish tbh but nevermind.

Keeping the job possibility under my hat at the moment. It was a VERY rushed application and I think I could have sold myself much better, but I got emailed the application forms an hour before the deadline, and needed to write a covering letter too:eek: With any luck I will know Monday whether they want to interview me - I am checking my email every 5mins but know full well I won't hear over the weekend:o

Skint...only you know how you feel and at what point you are in life so maybe you don't think much of what I have to say.
To make your self go x amount of nights without alcohol means nothing. You could go 2 months, 3 months or more with no alcohol but that doesn't mean you are not alcoholic.
What you are actually doing is giving yourself a little test. "If I can go x amount of time without alcohol then I can't possibly be an alcoholic then, can I?" and you will then go on to congratulate yourself with a drink or two.
Someone who isn't alchoholic doesn't ever think about a drink. They don't think about when they last had one or when they can have another one. It just doesn't figure into their thinking at all. See what I mean?
There isn't any test for yourself. You just need to keep going with keeping yuor life interesting, fulfilled and happy..as best as you can.

What you say is true, and I think the OP knows this from other posts I've read, it would have been nice to have added a little something positive to this though. Well done or good on you goes along way when someone is trying to be positive.
