A week
wow, seems like a lifetime ago but it was one week ago today that I had my last drink.
It has been a long week, I can't really remember the beginning of the week to well, I was very anxious and shakey and in a bit of a daze I think. The last few days have been good though, trying to sort out some of the mess in the house and that. I am just doing a little bit at a time cause if I look at the whole thing it's to depressing
I came close a couple of times to saying sod it and going to buy some drink, but I just kept thinking of the feathers my angel sent me and that has kept me sober, and reading here has helped me alot to.
Anyway I don't have anyone here to tell how proud I am of myself so I thought I would come and tell you guys
Thanks x

Thank you all for your messages.
Day 9 today, I am struggleing a little bit today, you know those old thoughts of maybe a little one won't hurt? When I am thinking straight I know it will and since when did I ever have one anyway!
So I am still plodding along, I just wish the annoying voice would stop, it is getting kinda tiresome. I have done loads in the last couple of days that I know I wouldn't have done if I had been drinking, so I don't really understand why part of me still thinks it wants a drink, guess thats addiction for you?
Anyway, I won't drink today, that voice will just have to annoy me while I get on with better things to do.

I did phone AA last year and although the woman was nice she basically said i would have to find a babysitter.
I live in England and I get the impression there is alot more flexibility in America/Canada, which is where I think most of you are from. There is one meeting a week where I live that is during school times, but that still leaves me with my toddler and I can't see me taking her along as she dosn't sit still EVER! She is, well basically a terrible toddler lol, no one at the meeting would thank me for it trust me. I would just be running around after her and if I tried to make her sit on my lap or anything she would just scream the place down Luckerly I know this phase dosn't last forever but in the mean time I can't see a way AA is going to be viable at the moment 
So at the moment I have this forum and my angels not sure what else I can do to be honest :/

An Angel kissed my tears away
today when I was sad.
I wasn't feeling quite myself
my day had been so bad.
I felt a warmth brush by me
that quickly dried my tears;
A gentle, kind, and loving touch
that seemed to hold me near.
Immediately, I felt so much better
and the day seemed brighter, too.
I guess that's just the way you feel
when an Angel comforts you.

Hi all, thanks for the msg's.
Rowan, I come and read the posts here a couple of times a day, it helps remind me why I don't want to drink. I haven't written many as I never know what to say and equally I don't answer many as I don't feel I have that much to give at the moment. Hopefully the more sober time I have the better I will become at posting
