Hi there Heavenly

I've been AF longer than you have now and I know EXACTLY what you are feeling. I think I have written about it at least once right here on Long Term Abs. All I can say is you MUST not give in. You must hang in there and not drink. PM me, I'll send you my phone number.

You can go along for weeks and months and feel great and know you'll never even want to drink again and then suddenly SLAM, it can just hits you out of nowhere. And it's tougher to say No because you think you've got this thing licked by now so it won't hurt to have just one or two. It can be so deceptive and so seductive. I know. I still have these times from time to time myself although they do become less frequent and less severe with time. But I don't think they ever go away totally.

You've been this strong and this noble for this long. Stand up really straight, look at yourself at the mirror and see how lovely you look after so many sober months. See how proud you are of yourself. And swear to yourself that you won't let anything take that away.

You're strong. You can get through this. It won't last too long - maybe a few days at the most. But you'll feel so great after you beat it.

Love to you,
Mags
