Fradley - good that you are taking action! I take 5-10 minutes every morning to check in with my favorite threads here. That sets my intention for the day, keeps my recovery front and center, and is a strong reminder that no matter what happens, a drink will only make it worse.
BlueFairy, I like your thinking. IMHO, depression and drinking can sometimes be like the chicken and egg question. I had severe depression and suicide attempts years before I started drinking but drinking sure didn't do anything to help!
Thumpa, the next weeks could potentially be tough for you but just remember that you can do this! Please don't hesitate to get other help if you need to in order to stay sober. You are worth it! It took me 2 1/2 years after joining SR to stay reliably sober. I had to do many things to help me along the way. I wish I had realized earlier that I needed to do that. I am grateful that I am sober today :-)
