Well I am back for an update on the 7th December it was a year since I stopped drinking alcohol, it's been easier then I thought but it does take a lot of control, I don't go out as much to pubs (very rarely just for a meal) but I still miss having a drink but I know myself far to well and it won't stop at one.

Am I happy, yep as I feel better have lost weight and my skin has improved and is softer and I look younger, well thats what the girlfriend says

Will I drink again? I think that I am not ready for "moderate" drinking so if I have the will power to stay off the booze then I think I will carry on just as I am.

Best of luck to everyone on this thread as reading the posts and contributing on here is what really helped me along my way.

Cheers, ooops shouldn't have really said that..........

Thanks for the welcome everyone. Here to report another AF day yesterday. Top Girl - so glad you mentioned Cancer Research's Dryathlon - have checked out the website and I'm definitely signing up for that. What a great motivation for January. Bye for now xx

I hope it will keep me on track Mookiepook!

Another AF night here - I don't have any in the house and about to put my son to bed so I won't be going out for any either, that will be 3 of my 5 night challenge done!

CuppaTea

Tracy, there is nothing wrong with that, but what is wrong with all these men? You are making me a tad worried :-)

I can relate to the wanting to crack open a drink and having to go to bed early too. In fact for the first time in weeks, I had an urge to have a drink or four, I fancied getting really drunk to take away this hurt and pain. However I can't/won't as :-

I know it won't help
The kids have their xmas play tomorrow
I am here alone, so my rules not allowed
I am on the SNC

Ate dinner and had a fizzy instead. Moment has passed now, thankfully.

Hope everyone else is doing ok?

Tracy I am banking on you to lead me astray when I finally feel ready to join the dating world. However the likelihood is by the time that occurs, you'll be settled and married and i'll still be dallying about trying to take off my wedding ring..............lol.

Diable, very impressive to read your post, congrats.

Oh and 16/13AF and 2/2 SNC please
