    Thank you all for your kind support.
    I decided against drinking tonight. I'd made half a plan to go to the cinema but have opted for an early night instead.

    17/15 for January and 5/4 for the SNC


    Hey well done Annie :) xx
  • Good work Annie :)

    16/15 for me today, 4/4 on the SNC
    I'm bored and lonely and finding life incredibly difficult at the moment. As I don't have to do anything on Friday, I think I will drink tomorrow. I need something to look forward to.
    I know I sound pathetic but being unemployed absolutely sucks, I can't help reflecting on what a huge mess I've made of everything.

    Thank you Cathybird. Long story short I had an amazing job overseas which I quit in the midst of homesickness at a time I wasn't taking my anti depressants.
    I did have an interview this morning for a short term position and have another tomorrow morning which is for a job back in Asia. If I go abroad I'll have to rehome my dog which I'm struggling with at the moment.
    I think you're right that drinking may well make me feel worse, I'll try and get to the doctors and ask for some counselling and/or an increase to the dosage on my medication xx

    Feeling for you Annie but you are doing so well. In the middle of all you are going through, you are managing to put the work and effort into cutting down alcohol. I have always found alcohol difficult to cut down even when all is going well. Hats off to you. Going to the Doctors is a really good idea, any help will alleviate the burden a bit. And you're getting the interviews so your application forms/CV are obviously attractive.

    5/5 SNC
    25/30 Jan

    Can I sign up for 2 for the WEC please Shaggy
