Actually as I'm on holidays it's been fairly busy - lots of sailing and lots of eating! I'm running 6km every 2nd day so am very happy to be getting back into that, am starting to turn my health around slowly. NYE was interesting, I spent it with a few people who were drinking. I didn't feel tempted, stuck to the water and soft drink and am enjoying the no hangover morning to start the year. I cannot tell you the last time I woke up on the 1st of January and didn't feel like a big bag of sh*t. What a refreshing change!
So far, I am not going to AA or planning on it - if things get difficult or I feel I need that support I will try it out. This forum is great, although I'm not posting that much, I am reading everyday and it's a big help. Things are going well, apart from the odd mood swing and anxiety..and for once I am feeling optimistic about the future.
Happy New Year everyone, and thanks to all for the messages of support....cheers
