Early recovery is filled with ups and downs. A lot of times, in the same day, LOL.
Well done everyone, we're hanging on, sometimes by a thread! Or is that just me?!!
Hang in there ... you guys are all doing great! You inspire me!

With regards to football jibes I am going to make a very rare exeption here and not mention Cambridge United FC. This is a compassionate jesture aimed at preventing relapse. See? This site can encourage compassion after all.
OMG everything's real

Truthfully though, interest in football has really taken a hit without the drinking. There's been quite a few threads on here about that and I've had some great advice from folk advising a complete change in lifestyle is the only way. If that means losing interests that involve drinking then so be it.
Plod on, eh?

Plod, plod!
Right, confession time. I took pills yesterday. Was having a very stressful day, phone didn't stop ringing, we were short staffed (right, that's a pathetic excuse, ignore it).
I feel really helpless over these things. I'm just going to leave that side of things for a while and concentrate on keeping off the drink. My life is not going to descend into chaos on pills, but on drink - oh yes it will, and very quickly at that.
I haven't had a drink since the evening of 5th September, and I intend to keep it that way. I'm still going to work on steps and recovery as far as the alcohol is concerned. I'm going to have to do this thing one chemical at a time, I think.

Please take some credit for knocking off the alcohol for so long, that's inspirational.

Yes, the alcohol is no small feat. I couldn't go 24 hours before I went to AA. Fear stops me picking up the first drink - I have done some spectacularly daft things while under the influence!

Well done everyone. Not sure where I am. I'm taking pills, not a whole lot, but even so, enough! But, I haven't had a drink for 6 1/2 weeks. So I'm not going to oblivion every day, but I'm not completely in reality either.
If it's OK, I would like to stay in this class anyway. I still need support for staying off the booze, but I wanted to be honest about the codeine. I really can't see me stopping it for a while.
