Saoutchik thanks for a great opener. As the initial fight of the first few weeks calms down a little then the memories of drinking episodes do start to come back I find. Staying focussed on the now and looking forward is my only real hope of gaining some self respect and getting my pride back. I'm in a strange old phase at the minute. Fully accepting of drink being off the table but a lottle lost about how to live again.
Anyway if love to join you guys if I may xx
One day at a time is the trite answer I guess jamah. It takes time to become adjusted to a new normal, it does happen but without us really noticing. Glad to have you with us.

I can imagine hospitals and the like being quite stressful places to work with lots of in house intrigues. Most of what I know about the medical profession I learned from Carry On films from the 1960s, I suspect they might not give a wholly accurate portrayal.
