    Wow, 11 years, fantastic!!

    I'm calling for today, 14/15 and 2/4 on the SNC. I've had a lovely day walking in the sunshine, it's amazing how much it lifts the spirits.

    Pleased to read you are back in control Green Karen.

    I have lost the plot as well for a while and have been drinking wine �� most nights. Lots of reasons, none positive but today have had an AFD so 10/20 butnot going to get to target. Still more important to start again and hope to meet my target in March. So can I please try 4 SNC - 1 achieved and 20 AFDs for March

    Thanks to everyone who has made this an amazing thread all these years!

    Yay, how brilliant!! How fabulous to have been part of this wonderfully helpful and supportive thread, which has made such a difference in the lives of so many. Loads and loads of thanks to Shaggy for so much hard work over the years keeping it going :)
  • Happy 11th anniversary to this thread :T

    Thanks to all the posters for your kind supportive comments. There is nowhere else like this for me where people understand the difficulties a relationship with alcohol can bring. I am overwhelmed by the support and generosity.

    On a positive note, the move back to being AF again the last two nights has been far easier than when I did Stoptober 4 months ago when every night was hell. Sounds strange but I have slipped back into being AF as easily as I slipped back into drinking a couple of weeks ago. And if both those habits are as easy as each other, I have made huge progress. It was always much easier to drink before.

    Loveasale: you're doing so well, the niggly 'may as well have a drink then' thoughts are the trickiest.
