          I've also only been af 8days in ten years.
          i'm on day 2 for the 100th time but intend to stick with this!
          I must...

          Stay on board,alot of us here are in same boat,read the sories on those here who were at rock bottom and pulled themselves out of it.
          They're going to be my salvation i hope.
          We all have the strength to beat this,for me it's not finding the strength but keeping the damn thing...

          Keep posting,

              Thank you all so much for the welcome. Saturday evening and this is about the time I want my first drink. I am going to do some ironing and try and distract myself for a few hours and hopefully by then the craving will have gone.

                      Well got through yesterday no problem but it is keeping the alcohol at bay for the long haul.
                      Had a disturbed night sleep but each time I woke up I felt so pleased with myself. When I got up I thought I would go out for a run as usually the drink has stopped me. I ran 12 miles felt knackered at the end but so happy.
                      maybe I can do it this time ---

                        Try and envisage Monday morning waking up with a clear head and a big smile.

                        If ironing keeps your mind of the bottle I've got a huge pile here I'll kindly let you do.

                            No ironing tonight so could probably do a little bit! Weather here lovely and am going to keep myself busy this evening. I would go out for a walk but my legs might protest.
                            Thank you for your support and encouragement

                              Hi anon,

                              My husband was going to a bit of ironing while I had a bit of a nap, but the iron is now ffffffffff

                              (i mean broken)

                              Typical!

                              Give those legs a rest. 12 miles! I can hardly run for the bus.

                              Love J x
