So I'm just back from my first family social occasion and I made the decision to either mix my drinks with tonic or just have a few, I actually ended up with 1 glass and tonic the rest of the time. I even drove 😃

Feeling proud of myself, it's definitely a start for me xx

    hi I have been doing well now for 5 weeks and a few social events where I have litrally mangaed to manage my drinking, I feel like I am on the right path for the first time since I started drinking, which is pretty much 20 years

    I hope you can do it too, everyone just needs something to kick start it and for me it was after my wedding where I ended up arguing with my sister over alcohol and forgetting a large portion of the evening, which for me is so sad but cant be brought back I can only move forward

    David you CAN do it xx
