Thanks everyone for your support and advice I am soo pleased that I have joined SR it really has made a difference to how I've been feeling about my drinking. I have been keeping everything bottled up inside and this site has enabled me to start talking honestly about how I feel and helping me to see my drinking in a clearer light...rather then the constant battle I have going on inside my head which goes round and round! And eventually leads to a drink. I was offered a drink after work last night..intact a Co worker opened a bottle of beer for me and I said no thanks I really don't want one and I really felt ok doing that and it sort of came naturally to me I didn't even really think about drinking it! I have read the links about recovery plans Thankyou berrybean very helpful and practical tips. Thanks again everyone and I will continue posting a reading on here it's giving me strength to do this!
