Please don't pick up a drink today. This little slip does not define you. Start again. I know you can do it.
I think it's probably why I just thought sod it and drank, yes. ... but it was so ungratifying... so point less... and such a waste of my effort. I feel like a dead kipper... so flat. Just got to not drink and I can get back some boing and some pride!!!! Thanks bim x
