Thanks Zontar and Guapo - it all still seems really surreal - that is the only way I can describe it ! And when I DO drink, I am getting such wicked Nal-Overs that it is now really going to make me think twice before I DO drink! It just is NOT worth it - I never used to get hangovers so this is really kicking my rear end !

Hugs, Maggie x

I am so happy for you Maggie. You are my role-model. I hope that soon I will have so many AF days as you have.

Badger, AG and Steve - thanks so much - I am not ready to say I am cured but I do think I too, like Newlife, have turned a corner .... and it feels really good - odd but good - now I just need to start getting used to life without Al - or not as much AL anyway - even today I thought about taking a Nal and having a drink - but it was just a fleeting thought and passed before I could act on it - LOL

Thanks guys, Hugs, Maggie x

After filling in my chart for yesterday with another 'O' for number of drinks - I added up - in the past 18 days I have had a drink on 4 of them!! That is 14 AF days on 18 days - I still cannot quite believe it !! But do not want to get over confident !!

Hugs, Maggie x

Maggie, that is wonderful!!! Do you still think a lot about drinking? Do you just not want it? Tell me everything!! I'm not quite where you are yet but I hope I am on my way so I want to live vicariously through you!! LOL Newlife

Hi there Newlife - the ironic thing is that I am still thinking about drinking A LOT - but not 'cos I want to have a drink - more because I do not want to have a drink - and I keep thinking about the fact that I do not want to have a drink - which probably doesn't make sense at all to you - but yes drink is on my mind a LOT! I sort of half think about taking a Nal now and then and then think 'No, I don't want a drink' - I think it is hard for my head to get around this because it is so foreign to me ! I like the thought of a drink - but the reality is a totally different ballgame. THAT I think is what it boils down to!

And if you are feeling anywhere along the same lines then it really does hit hard when it hits - someone else said that it suddenly happens - well, yes it does !

Hugs, Maggie x
