Journal Thread - Day 15
Well I've almost made it through day 15.
Everyday is hard at the moment as my Nan clings onto life. She is a tough lady even now and she can't weigh more than 5-6 stone right now. Her vicar came today and gave her blessings as we thought she would go any minute but she's still holding in there. If she holds in just another 3 hours it will be her and my Grandads 65th wedding anniversary. Unbelievable really.
Thoughts of drinking haven't really been plaguing my thoughts as much these past few days. I love to take trips away on my own, normally to the coast, and just drive about exploring then drinking in pubs, reading and writing. It's strange to think of doing that sober now. Although alcohol has been my worst enemy it often felt like my friend when I travel alone. It's always accessible and makes being alone seem more attractive. I'll adjust that way of thinking in time but that's the only drink related thought I'm having right now.
I hope everyone is having a positive week.

Its known people hold on for milestones....I'm sorry you are losing her....
Try to think of something else you can drink during your travel to take alcohols place...or eat...like everytime you travel now...
Maybe you get a bag of Doritos or your favorite snack...drinking is less appealing when something is in our stomachs.
