    Had my first alcohol night after 53 days without on Saturday. Then last night I didn't get the urge to drink at all and went straight back to how I was on my long run. It's so easy when the urge and those arguing voices in my head aren't there!

    Complicated business this cutting down / stopping isn't it?


    You're right there Maggie and GK!;)


    I can identify with so much of what you said. I don't have a problem jumping back on the wagon. When I've decided not to drink then I don't. BUT, if I've decided to have a drink then I don't want to limit myself to one glass. Sometimes I choose to, especially if it's lunch out somewhere (I know daytime drinking makes me sleepy) but otherwise just the thought that it's the one and only glass I'm 'allowed' spoils it for me. I'm definitely an 'all or nothing' person although pleased that I now know where my stop button is.:)


    No drinking today. I've decided!:D


    6/10 AFDs please Shaggy and 2/4 for the SNC.

    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.
