Ooh, that's the kind of thing that would drive me mad too Amy.I think I'd be tempted to use a very small mug next time, just to see what happens. My knee is creaking more than usual at the moment so I empathise Danny.If I don't lose a lot of weight this year I'm heading for trouble :? I had a bottle...

It's so nice to see you again Amy.Sorry you're not in a good place with the booze but you know the ropes, start with small steps and post here amongst friends who will do whatever they can to help you through.Sometimes I find that simply posting about what's going on is more helpful than I could hav...

Still here, still sober. Quite envious of the To Do thread tick, I'm going to put some serious thought into Doing Something so I can use it.

I'm glad you arrived safely Danny.East Anglia is a place I know hardly anything about, I've lived in a lot of different places over the years but never been to anywhere around the East coast.I think of East Anglia as being flat, possibly marshy? I managed the weekend sober but had to take a few walk...

It sounds as though you're on a good sober run Danny, keep those loins girded.No idea what that means either. I drank twice last week, not good.The stormy weather is keeping me indoors way too much and I'm giving in to boredom drinking too easily.I can't seem to stay focused long enough to really st...

Sorry to hear Slingy is back on the beer, if you're looking in old pal, take care and I hope life gets better for you soon. It's been raining all weekend and blowing a gale so I've been stuck indoors since Friday.I've been crying a lot and feeling too sad and sorry for myself to even post a few line...

Thanks Cowboy, and you too Martha, much appreciated

I think it's safe to say that's a second sober Saturday done

I think waking up without those feelings of crushing depression, anxiety and exhaustion is one of the best things about being off the booze.I'm still feeling a bit flat but that's probably to be expected - relieved to have a full week sober and I'm definitely sleeping better. It's absolutely chuckin...

'Morning Danny, and anyone else looking in. It's been a tough few weeks here, my best friend died.I've felt like a zombie, doing the bare minimum to get through the days, one of those times when getting up in the morning feels like a major achievement. Alcohol - wise, not too bad at all, but then it...

Happy Birthday Amy, have a great time and a lovely party

I'm two weeks sober - I think I post less when things are on an even, but uneventful keel - just not much to say really, I frequently bore myself these days. It's horrible when you've got things planned and have to get through them with a hangover (or just feeling out of sorts), so good luck Danny.O...

Yum Yums. (glorified doughnut)

Jjj, have you thought about maximising the benefits of your hard boiled egg handwarmers by placing one in each ear whilst eating the fiery cheese?Just a thought

I'm really chuffed for you Felix, keep going and don't look back

That's a brave decision to make Felix, and hopefully one which will help you change your life for the better - good on you for doing something practical and getting more support.

Good luck at the meeting, let us know how you get on.

'Morning all. I'm still plodding along - the weather has been mostly wet and windy which tends to keep me indoors and makes it even more difficult to get some much needed fresh air and exercise.Lumpish is an excellent word Danny, it describes exactly how I feel at the moment.Really need to make more...
