Came to know I could never moderate and was always disappointed in myself whenever I tried. It just never worked. I'm so very grateful to have found the sweet spot. And it's so very sweet even if difficult at times. But nothing more difficult than drinking. Nothing.

Kick the winning goal Auchie. You'll be cheerin'.

You have done so well. I'm pleased for you, and yes - it's one day at a time. As I drank past midnight I can't even call this day 1...but I won't be waking up with a hangover tomorrow, at least.

Been there, mate.

Get back on the horse. You’ve got the right attitude.

Ach, I'm okay thanks, Steely. I haven't drunk since, and to be honest I haven't been tempted. Still, I'll take one day at a time and stay vigilant. I'm aware that I'm on a slippery slope, and next time I could fall into the abyss.
