StartingLate Good Luck What do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.0 -

Ok got past the first 'danger point', getting in from work. My DH always pours me a glass of wine as soon as he hears my key in the door but this evening I said "no thanks I'm going to make a cup of tea would you like one too?" He didn't, but baby steps I have to get my own drinking under control before I can broach his difficulties with alcohol. Next step dinner.
Don't worry, I'm not going to post an hour by hour account of my journey it's just that it's the first day.0 -

1/12 AFDs to get restarted. I've also restarted my running, 1k yesterday and today, to build back up "sensibly" (not something I always adhere to)What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?0

Well done Startinglate! As you say, baby steps. On planned non-drinking days I very rarely even think about alcohol but, like you have posted, it was very much baby steps and at any point in the evening, I could have failed and gone up to the shop.
Stick with it and if it helps, post an hour by hour account! I am sure nobody here would mind if you did. Not if it helps!
Satch... Take it easy
