Awesome, Suze! Your BF needs to start giving you some serious love - none of this luke warm, "it's not your best" crap!
Tap, sounds like you need to get a bit of a shock for motivation. I know I did. Kept testing the limits. Wish I had the foresight not to.

Hi Tap
I'm not an expert on AVRT but if you had a BigPlan and it didn't work out you can go back to the Plan and fix whatever was missing.
It's not a 'try one and done' deal - or a 'try once and dunce' deal either
Give yourself the present of a sober Christmas man - I'll stand with you - we all will

Yep....you were the one who told us about it dear SBTS....I follow you....I also adore movies and you are always up with the latest. I can't see that one yet unless I go to the movies....I prefer to watch at home.....(perfume allergies).
I have seen some awesome ones lately....still in two minds about the Judy Garland movie....have you seen that one anyone? s

Hi, good morning/evening/afternoon/night everybody.
Thanks for the replies to my defeatist post yesterday. It's all another chapter in the tiresome sage of me. I wish I could stop thinking about myself all the time. It just doesn't stop. I'd like to rip it all out and have a refurb.
Yesterday I told a friend that I was drinking again. How I'm low, really miserable. She asked what was bothering me - most people think that events are what control our moods. They get something, they're happy; they lose something, they're sad. I said nothing particularly had happened and that being miserable was just my nature. She said that was ridiculous, that I was the complete opposite of that, not taking anything seriously, always laughing, joking etc. I was quite surprised by that. We only see the surface of others - if we can be bothered to look at all.
So yes, still not managed to get on the sober path - woke up , felt rough so I had a can of lager. That's my day sorted out. They're holding some festival tomorrow - Christian in origin I believe, really co-opted from the pagan Winter Solstice celebrations. Up here - unlike London - all shops will be shut, so as insurance I bought myself a litre of vodka and a lot of lager. Of course it would only be there to be used in an emergency. This transparent idiot reasoning used to justify drinking - well I've bought it now, may as well drink it.
I hope you're all doing better than I am. I'm setting the bar low there. I'm on my own this Christmas. I don't mind. A lot of people who don't really know me are surprised by this.
I hope you all have a lovely Christmas. I'll be looking in.

Not gonna lie, the idea of a day with a litre of vodka and lots of cans does sound appealing. It's kinda my fantasy - with no accountability for a few days. Only issue is I would probably drink it way too quickly to enjoy the high and dip in and out of consciousness in a blur. In the middle of that I would text, whatsapp, email, and post on messaging boards and various other things. But every now and again I escape without doing those things - those days of getting away with it are fewer and further between!
I suppose my current thinking is - Has to be - that it doesn't matter if I get away with it or not. I'm still ruining my progress and either standing still or going backwards. I'm 40. I've been standing still for 20 years. Need to start moving forward for once in my life. I like Dee's comments earlier in this thread about the "leap of faith". Cos 25 days in I feel great and, surprise, surprise - ready to drink again.

Getting away with it Biransy....what does that mean?
No one finds out?
We drink for a few days and can magically stop again when we worked so hard to stop this time?
We don't crash our car and kill someone and end up in jail?
We don't end up in hospital with blood poisoning?
We don't get so drunk at Christmas that we knock over the tree and accidentally injure the dog?
