Pete, so lovely to hear from you. So glad you posted, particularly as you say you have found it harder the past couple of months. Maybe it's time to revisit some of the reasons why you stopped drinking and all the great things you wouldn't have if you hadn't stopped? Maybe the shift in life responsibilities? Post more often if you think it might help?
Thanks everyone for your kind words on my 8 months, and thanks Dee. Yes, soemthing does feel different now, like there is no other option. Acceptance was the thing that eluded me for so long...like some magical key I couldn't quite find.
Well, off to bed. Sleep is the magical tonic these days!
