You sound like you have battled this before and I cherish your wise words. We can do it together.
I'm a bit like Alice... I've give myself such very good advice but I very seldom follow it...

Certainly explains the trouble im always in, jeez!

I know it's not funny but I did giggle a bit about the frost jack in place of the queens head! I get it, I really do! What is it they say at meetings? This too shall pass... and it will. Then Jack Frost will be on your telly or somewhere else and it starts all over again! I don't mean to be a downer, It gets easier to deal with and life will exist without thinking of alcohol at some point. We just need to tough out these early days. I'm not having any cravings yet. I didn't in my last three weeks either. Not sure why as I have had them quite badly during past attempts. I did three weeks and then bang! Just like that! No craving just, eff it I'm having a drink! Didn't see it coming. Have you decide what to do with the tenner yet? You could start a little saving pot, see how much you would have wasted if you were still drinking? Give it someone to look after if you don't trust yourself? You're doing good, keep it up!

I can't wait for this day to end. It's 5.30 so I've the evening to get through. Praying for a better tomorrow BC I could seriously throw myself of a bridge today ugh!

hey do you know I do have 1 number but this person is an old timer and they only go once in a while now understandably. So I'm quite stuck until my car is on the road again. Bummer
