I can understand your worry about December and Christmas. For me, alcohol wise, I just think about one day at a time.

Stupot - It was your post that helped get my !!!! in gear for a walk yesterday so thankyou. I echo your thoughts, walking is great for the mind,body and soul.

Fruball, I'm not sure if that is the first time you have openly admitted you have a drink problem. If it is well done. It's a really brave step. I also suffer from anxiety and depression. I think many people who drink use it to self medicate exsisting psychological conditions.

Paradoxically, it was a huge 'event' in my life that made me stop completely (A break up with a best friend) I found myself thinking that 3 bottles of wine would stop any bad 'stuff' in it's tracks and then I actually laughed out loud at my own stupidity. It was my turning point.

Morning all and I hope we are all feeling good this morning.
Had a panic yesterday, daft really but every time I checked the Forum I saw the same last message and though no one had posted for about 12 hours! Thought my little lifeline had gone!

Then I figured out I had not looked at the last posting page! Doh!

So had a lot of lovely postings to catch up on this morning which was wonderful!

Stupot - yes walks in autumn are wonderful, they are keeping me going at the moment.

Fruball - knowledge is a wonderful thing, some of us don't like the truth but it can set us free. All cliches I know but think what you can achieve now. I am just starting to live again after so many years of cloudiness. I had no idea what I was doing to myself. It's great to have a good friend too, because of a re location I lost my best friend for years, but now she has moved an hour and a half away and I see her a lot more, she is the one person who knows all about my past and I really need that support. Seeing her later today.

365 days and Jess the cat - I share your worry about December, but not only that, it's those long dark nights of Janurary and February that follow. That's when I will need all these helpful postings. We can and will get through it. And if we stumble a bit along the way we have more good experience.

365 days - to do a smaller quote I have just been manually deleting the bits to remove without removing the bit at the beginning and end that says quote. I am sure there is an easier technical way to do it, but i don't know it!

Anyway work calls, missed all you guys yesterday and will catch up soon.
