Thanks everyone, I knew you'd all be supportive.

Stupid thing is I had promised to post on here before I bought any wine and of course I didn't because I "wanted" to drink, I didn't "want" to be talked out of it...

In my alcohol brief intervention group they kept telling us if we drank again, it wasn't the end of the world, it shouldn't mean all is lost and I kept saying "but that sounds like you're telling me I can drink again"... But I realise that what they meant was don't turn a bad decision into a bender and do a 180' turn in the wrong direction.

I'm going to carry on not drinking, I like the direction I was heading in, I like the variety of thoughts I was having, the time I was spending on hobbies, I liked the fact that I wasn't gripped by wine, where wine was, when I was going to buy wine, when I was going to drink wine, hiding wine, recovering from wine...

I'm back on track...

I've proved a "night off" can NOT happen, I'm lucky I stopped at 4 nights, phew...
