I'm glad things are going so well Herby - but stay vigilant...not wishing you bad luck, but chances are you'll be sorely tempted again in due course - this addiction thing can be relentless, especially early on.

When you truly value something, you act with the dictates of your frontal cortex and not your primitive limbic system. Your thinking determines your emotions and your actions follow what you truly value in life.
We can't control everything that happens to us in this life, but we can control how we respond when we find meaning and values.

I really could do with a drink. I know I can't just stop at 2 drinks and I get terrible hangovers but I feel like giving in. I know the only chance of a happy life is sobriety. Your advice please everyone. X
