After a while tho...with a string of days behind me, forever didn't seem so scary anymore.
I have no problems with forever now.
I'll die this way, thanks

Thanks for your reply. I like the way of thinking I can get through the next 24 hours I've done this before. I am filled with dread of visiting my inlaws and them asking why I'm not even having one glass of wine. But I will hopefully have the strength to say I'm just not or I can think of something else perhaps.
All the best for today.
