25/25 please cathybird. I think I will be raising my goal next month,possibly to 28.Here's hoping for a gold star this month(ruined last month with one drink I couldnt refuse at a gathering,so only 29/30) but could finish the month with a dangerous weekend, big family gathering. I really REALLY had to struggle not to add a bottle of Famous Grouse to my asd@ home delivery on Saturday after a few days of brain fog/depression,but not wanting to increase my already large bill by £18 killed off the urgeWho knew being a Mrs Scrooge could have such a beneficial effect?

Hi AllJust popped in to say thank you for keeping me going for the two years that I posted on this thread every day. The good news is that it's now eight years since I last had a drink and I'm really, really happy with that.Just a word of warning to anyone else who's about to stop completely - I had one of those dreams last night where I had been drinking. Not just one evening, but every evening for at least a week and this despite telling everyone I didn't drink. In my mind in my dream I was sticking to not drinking, but I was also knocking it back like the (good?) old days, and even in my dream that was accompanied by no memory of doing so! How totally weird is that?! Whatever group it was I was involved with kicked me out and I really really minded, too. No idea where the dream came from but I've only had two dreams before where I drank and this one was by far the most upsetting at the time. Woke up to a message from my Belovéd this morning congratulating me for the eighth year anniversary and that reminded me about the dream. Very unsettling that, not remembering the dream in which I'd not remembered the drinking!Hang on in there everyone who's working on getting their drinking under control. I'm so, so glad I did, even if it means I can't have a Pimms now and then. It's been well worth it despite that, and I absolutely loved Pimms.Better is good enough.7
