I've been the same alisong, been lurking for a while but only just summoned up the courage to start posting, it really helps I think to share each others experiences

Anyway, time for bed now, catch you all soon

Thanks for the welcome everyone. Eselt, you're right, I never thought there would be anything out there to help me and I'm so glad I've found it, I know if I hadn't plucked up courage and thought I've got no choice but to come clean I'd be in a terrible state now so I'm very grateful. The irony is I could have self referred to this completely free service years ago but I guess you have to reach a certain point to be able to admit you need help. Anyway, thanks again everybody, better get off to bed but I'll call in again tomorrow. Goodnight to you all.

Morning all.

Hope everyones fit & well.

Had one can last night, so its 6/31. I enjoyed it, but DIDNT want another, but more importantly I no longer have any in the house - just need not to buy any!

I have to stop for the next month, as I`m having an op on 16th July, so need to be healthy/sober & will be using weak antibiotics afterwards, so cant drink as alcohol will kill it. Or at least thats what I am telling myself & anyone who will listen! So long as I believe.

Have asked before, but will ask again, what do you think about the goverments anti drinking ads? Have they shifted your thinking - personnally I would say yes. I am far more aware of the units, even though I knew them before.....

Morning all,

Welcome new peeps :hello:

Molly - it was a bit more fun yesterday wasn't it? - I think thats why it helped me a few months ago. It all went a bit serious for me over the last couple of weeks - hence not posting at the weekend.

The happier I am the less I drink, if I've been made to smile on here then ........:D

Best wishes everyone for a great day

BHB

PS. Jackie - the strings sound like great fun ! :cool: ...... very jealous

Hi Jo & BHB.

I agree.Even though this is a serious matter I can cope with all the cravings etc easier if I am in a happy mood.
What happened to your quotes of the day.BHB???
Must go and have a listen to Michael Buble link (see if I can find some mischief again LOL)

Have a good day all.
Love Mollypollyxxxx
