No you didn't scare me off I was just answering the phone at work :rolleyes: don't they know I am busy why do people keep ringing :rotfl:

I am going to try really hard to abstain, thanks for your help both :beer: sometimes i just need to post on here and get a kick up the bum!!

Don't think in the negative, is all I'm trying to say. Think of the positive steps you will take to deal with whatever tonight might throw up

Well done, shoppy :T :T :T :T

Hello ym, mate. How you doing? in training for the DFW troll-fighting championships? :rotfl: (sorry couldn't resist)

As you can tell, I've had an AFD (I can only post when I have....otherwise feel like a fraud.....)

'I've decided, I'm loving the days being sober but absolutely hating the evenings, they are far too long and although I've got so much to do, I can't stand thinking about drinking. I know this will fade eventually cos I remember from before, I just hope it hurries up. I don't mind thinking about drinking or not drinking rather, but I can't stand the emptiness. It's like I've had a mate round for tea every night for the last 15 years and suddenly they've upped and left and I'm sat here by myself '

Hi all, I'm trying to quote a bit from Jo's post but don't think I've done it properly, how do you do it??

Anyway, just wanted to say that I can so relate to that. I would have described it as 'boring' but 'emptiness' is a much better description. I suppose the thing to do is to change routines and find other things you enjoy that replace the drinking but I've got to admit I do struggle with that same feeling.

Shoppy, hope you had a good evening in the end.

It was nice seeing all the posts today, I can't post at work but checking in on you all today lightened my day.:T

See you soon Ali x.

Hi.

To include a post you need to look bottom right of the post in question.It should show a thanks button and a quote button. Click on that and then start typing after the last (quote) in the message you want to include.

Good luck
