S&S I don't know what I would have done without my Mad March pals in the early days! A lot of them have gone in different directions now, though I do stay in touch with some who have left SR. I chose not to go down the AA path, so basically I relied on SR for my early sobriety, especially through a few personal issues so I am categorical proof that a forum can definitely keep you sober! We are currently all on a virtual cruise, first port of call Tonga!
Ml, I frequently went 2/3 days a week without alcohol, before it took more control over me, but if I went even a day or two longer I often got raging headaches for a couple of days. It goes, and is still better than a hangover! Be strong, you are doing well so far!
Sounds like down-in-the-dump-itis is doing the rounds, I hope everyone finds their way out of it and get their equilibrium back soon.
