So, congratulations to you on your 50 days - that is wonderful. Keep up the good work. I noticed you posted up thread about recent relapses. I can smell a relapse coming on (usually) from the way people post too. It's like they are priming the pump (and you don't have that smell). Stay strong. CF
Ta a lot CF, much appreciated.
My fault, I didn't explain the thought fully. I was just trying to get across that - we are either for full abstinence or not. There can be no middle ground. The moment of "maybe" or "just one" is the moment of relapse.
Thanks for the smell comment, I do use deodorant.
Seriously though, I know what you mean. It is sad because you can see the buildup in the posts.
Cheers,
ZAB
