    9/24 today please Cathybird.  Yesterday I had my first drink in over a month. I never intended to stop drinking totally, just cut down but even so I was really nervous and spent most of the day on soft drinks.  I did have a couple as it was a family celebration BUT in big news for me - I managed to do just that! Have a couple that is.  I was so pleased and totally amazed tbh.  I won't be rushing to have another drink as I still don't trust myself.  It helps so much having this thread to post on as it keeps me accountable.  Thanks again for running it Cathybird. 
    Good stuff!   Control alc', don't let it control you!    11 please
    Now a gainfully employed bassist again - WooHoo!
