28 Weeks - feeling strong....for now
All, the content of this forum never fails to inspire me and make me realise that we all have our battles, and some have much greater obstacles to overcome than I do.
I'm now at six months and two weeks without a slip-up. Although at times I want a drink badly I have a core of certainty I won't give in until I make the year that was my original goal. As high functioning heavy drinker rather than what I think of as an alcoholic I have not let go of the idea that one day I will allow myself to begin drinking again in a limited way, with rules in place. If it doesn't work then i will give up again. After all, I've done it once. Having said that part of me thinks I'm kidding myself.
I'm not an AA member as what I've learned about it makes me think it wouldn't suit my secular outlook.
I'd appreciate any comments or insights about what I'll be facing when the 12 months comes up. Cheers.
