KIR well done on managing those cravings, I always followed the thought through to its conclusion, if I drank even one I would need to get bombed, I would hate myself, I would be back at day one, those hard earned days thrown in my own face. I would think about the effect it would have on my marriage, how hard it would be admitting that I had succumbed. I thought about how I would have to own my lapse here. Stopping drinking is not easy, if it were, there would be no drunks. But with determination, support and advice, we can do it.
Welcome Zombob, love the handle! 4 weeks at your back is a great beginning.
Well done on getting that 30 under your belt BeFree.
Key of C, I know how difficult these family gatherings can be the first time, but it does get easier.
Amp, while I would say don't borrow trouble by worrying about Christmas, it certainly doesn't hurt to be prepared. You are doing great, by then you will have another month under yourbelt and even more self belief.
