Well done Alisong, Different Corner and everyone else.
Glad you are ok Jo...and you too Elantan.

Six months today for me....Cant believe it.
Bismarck and Eselt..I do agree that it is very scary to think that we cant ever drink again....the pull is still so very strong isnt it?(especially now I have a reason to celebrate...6 months of sobriety):rolleyes:

Hope you are all ok tonight.
Love Mollypollyxxxx

Thanks Bismarck and Jo,
It certainly crept up on me very quickly.However I hope the next six months go the same (although I dont want to wish my life away):rolleyes:
I really feel frightened of the next six months with lots of parties and xmas.:eek:
Summer hasnt bothered me too much...I have just drank pop.
But log fires and cosy nights in seem to call for brandy.....
Will have to just get extra bodies and blankets on this wagon to keep warm with;)
Love

It's difficult, Molly

I see you, jo, and others doing really really well and its inspirational, but somehow not motivational..... for me.

What makes it worse is that the similarities between it and smoking are there to see. I beat smoking and am just delighted to have done that, but this.... there's a block in there I need to shift......

Will keep reading the thread. Sometime the penny will drop. Meantime....

I'm the other way round, can stop the drinking not the smoking. Because smoking is a daily thing and I only used to drink at night ? Just wish I could stop the smoking.

Am becoming tired of tea drinking, hot water and lemon is becoming my new tipple - minus the whisky

hmmmmm - maybe we could help each other out!

I'll rant at you about fags, you rant at me about booze, we'll work it out between us :rotfl: :rotfl:

Hi all- well done Molly, what a fantastic landmark for you, you must be so proud.

Know what you mean Different Corner about the smoking- I just can't kick it. I think with drink I started to hate it and what I'd become because of it- in short I was sick to death of it, but I still love smoking even though my chainsmoking mum died a horrible chest infection death. I know all the risks but I just don't think I can face tackling another addiction at the moment.

Have a cold at the moment- even that was positive this morning because when I woke up I thought 'god I've got the hangover from hell', but then I remembered it couldn't be a hangover because I DON'T DRINK ANYMORE- hooraay!!!
