Morning everyone!!

Feeling good today....

Bumped into someone yesterday who's been dry for a bit longer than me and had a good chat about how we were...both pleased that the other was still dry...

Also getting unfeasibly excited about my upcoming anniversary of D-day....I've not thought about milestones since Christmas really but I can't deny that the year is a big one for me as I'll have been through the cycle of events and met the majority of perils that I normally face....

Of course, any day is still risky in its own way and I still have to think before I act sometimes....

well done everyone for waking up with clear heads.....another bright day here in sunny Lancashire...

Just a quick message of support for you all on this thread, well done everyone for the support you are giving each other:j.

My problem used to be, amongst other things, a magnetic pull towards the pub and maybe that deep down I thought that the friendship I got there was conditional on my 'attendence' to the said 'Chuch'...

I do agree with Bismarck that for me too, not / reducing your drinking becomes a habit that feeds itself, and even if you do take one step forward and two steps back sometimes, better that, than walking in the other direction

All the Best to you all... Excellent

D-day is sometime between 3rd and 4th June, depending on your definition....not sure really the precise time but my first day without was the 4th June as I struck bottom...I'd already touched on it before but this was really it for me....:o

I know where you're coming from with this...gritted teeth and warm coke don't really do the trick...plus your "mates" wanting you to join in with them, keep up with them and a feeling of "why not....?"

I had to change my mates /scenario altogether, I'm afraid...

No one said it was easy...some things just have to be done....and some prices are never too high...
