hi guys. Got through a few weeks sober plus flu. At parents for a week . They went out and I knew I had to drink. Tonight. Had a sherry and a bootle of white wine . Enjoyed it which is not good. I don't think I can ever give drink up for ever. Think I will always have to binge sometimes. Love being sober but have to get out my head sometimes. Let you how I feel tomorrow x

    Hi everyone. Thanks for all your messages and words of advice and wisdom. I woke at 12 today, head a bit foggy but not nausea or shakes. I haven't let it go to a binge. Ate at lunch and been shopping this afternoon. Feeling more tired than normal but otherwise ok. Won't be drinking later so hopefully it was just a blip.

    i like the living in the day, Peter, it helps and stops me thinking about a lifetime of sobriety. So I woke this morning and said I won't drink today. Which works for me most of the time.

    Heres to a sober new year everyone xxx

      Pleased to hear your feeling okay now. I have felt very disgusted with myself all day and such a let down to my family.  My son said to me if I only had one wish Mum it would be to see you stop drinking.  So his wish has come true - my lifestyle needs to change and my way  of thinking. On to my new chapter of my life and I wish you a Happy New Year - do let us know of your progres -

      Hi P/f,

      Glad you're taking it one day at a time; eventually you'll enjoy the day more and more. We'll always have our problems to deal with and we'll sometimes be down........ BUT we'll enjoy the good times more and we'll have more of them. O.D.A.A.T.

      Good luck to you and very BEST wishes for a sober 2016. Peter.
