Thanks everyone. It's good to know that those reasons are ok. I like I was getting hung up on the idea that it had to be an 'event'. I feel so stupid cos I've had so many wake-up calls that I ignored, I've hurt myself and other people so much. In my head that should have been enough to get me to stop. I'm grateful that I have stopped, but I feel like it was a long time coming and I wish I hadn't ignored the many many warnings I've had in the past. And I wish my family, friends and husband had been enough for me to stop drinking. but I guess I got there in the end!
Rossy, I have days like that. I'm sorry to hear that you're having a rough time. I've just come back from feeling like that for 3 weeks. I think the best thing you can do is stay active, keep in touch with people, and look after yourself. I wish you all the best.
Thanks everyone, you rule!
