Stopped on January 3rd
 

I'd had enough of boozing. So I had a program. SR.

For the first month I was addicted to New Posts. I learned loads from people like me. No axe to grind, no agenda, just genuine souls fighting for their lives. I felt humbled. Someone somewhere spent the time to teach me the skills I so desperately needed.

What did I do as a drunk?. Did I ever throw a lifeline to a man in Oregon?.

No I did not. Instead I drank to blackout every day, alone.

These three months have be up and down. I stood my ground though. This is my life, and want more, I need more.......than a bottle and a head full of lies.

Great post. Thank you xxx

Congratulations on your 3 months, and many thanks for your post.

I worked till two today, big Charity drive. I was not hungover needing a drink.
My body didn't stink trying desperately to expel toxins.

Got home, tired, had to assert myself at work, calmly,. A friend came round for dinner. So went out to buy food and collect a package from Fat Face.
My mate had been drinking earlier, lunch time. We bitched about the sap at work, generally swanned about town being a bit stylish.

On none of these things did I drink. I thought about it. My ex seducer - The Slug - is never far away.

We walked through the Park coming home, laden, well after 5PM. On a beautiful Spring day. We passed a couple on a bench, a man and woman, drunk, drinking openly. And I said out loud, 'there but for the grace of G-D go I'. And Andy said Yes.

It's been one of those days. But Friends, if you told me six months ago........

Well done Bluncain. In a few days you will have three months under your belt.
