Apologies in advance for mentioning Christmas but... does anyone have any good suggestions for non-boozy flavoured creams that go well with mince pies? Christmas menus are being made and I want to make an early start on avoidance. I was leaning towards orange zest but could do with some inspiration.
try cinnamon whipped cream, little bit of vanilla extract in it too
not for mince pies but peanut butter whipped cream is great

Thanks Harris 2014, cinnamon cream sounds like a nice twist. Venuscat Love your idea about a Christmas thread, I'll do that next!
Dee74, if you haven't experienced a mince pie (think heavy fruityness in pastry) you need to try them! Usually laced with brandy or other liquors though so work needed on that one...

Day 6 ending
Well, I made it thru another day without alcohol. Sunday football, my beloved KC Chief payed and won it might say. Not one drink. Good food though. I had a couple of cravings but did not give in. I have been lucky with the cravings, not many, I know that they will come on with force soon......I want to be dependence free! I want to live. I know that alcohol will kill me if I continue to drink.

I am kind of freaking out. I just looked at my blood test results from a week ago. I have high cholesterol and high levels of liver enzymes...The high level of liver enzymes is what is freaking me out. I can not ever drink again. I have been binge drinking for years. I was high functioning. I could drink then get up and go to work. I drank out of boredom & self medicating. Slowly killing myself.
Didn't sleep good at all. Freaking out

It is going to be OK love.....without the booze, we can heal. In so many ways. s
And of course if you are really worried, talk to the doctor again.
Sending you huge hugs. s ❤️

Day 4 here. Another gorgeous day outside. Strangely, have slept well for first three days. Probably has something to do with that I had only a one day relapse after the previous seven days of abstinence. Happy to wake up sober!
have a great day all!
have a great day all!
And congrats on day 4.
