Welcome back, Mavis. Wine was my poison, too, and I couldn't imagine a day without it.

Glad to hear that you are going to try OP.

I didn't enjoy that bottle of wine towards the end either. The only thing wine did was take the edge off a bit and make me sick as a dog the next day. You can do this!

Thank you all!
Got through day 1 and onto day 2. I'm not well though got my son's cold and feel horrendous so it will probably be easy not to drink until I'm feeling better again.

The kitties are doing great! They make us all smile every day and my son has taken to them really well one of them sits with him and doesn't even move when he's throwing balls and toys around, she's great with him. They really are therapeutic not just for him but for me too lol they are wonderful. I'll put some photos on when I can get to pc.

Hope you are all well and avoiding seasonal bugs. And not drinking

So I'm back to the beginning, I have a date for an op beginning feb and really need to lose weight and get healthy before that to reduce risks of anything going wrong.

My son needs me and I need to be around for as long as possible for him

I've cancelled xmas party this month so don't have any occasions coming up where I would be tempted to drink. Really hope I can do it this time.
So sorry to hear this, but glad you are making provisions! Are you getting AA support? This could help. Also post on here when you are tempted, this has helped me x

Glad you're back Mavis! I just came back 10 days ago. Something feels different about this time. Maybe you're ready too?!
