Actually I quit in 2012 and started again in 2013 because I thought I could drink in moderation. So here I am again and this blog has had me laughing, nodding my head and quite frankly wondering how you knew so much about my experiences with wine ;) <br /><br />I stayed up too late last night trying to read every post ( and comment ), but I'm going to have to take my time and read and re-read all this good stuff. It just feels good to know that someone else has been through exactly what I have been through and knows what I know ( and am learning ).<br /><br />So I'll be following regularly and enjoying your great blog!<br /><br />Also, sorry to hear about the dog. I don't know what we'd do if we lost our little guy - they're like a part of the family.<br /><br />love<br /><br />Robw3stiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12432935983237515387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763877266715908242.post-32599015795132733352017-03-18T04:03:37.169-07:002017-03-18T04:03:37.169-07:00Hoping your dog is on the mend..?
I'm back to...Hoping your dog is on the mend..?<br /><br />I'm back to day 1, but instead of feeling gloomy, I'm feeling really upbeat and determined. My last sober stint ended because we went on holiday, abroad, with a group of friends. I didn't go mad, but I did drink, and have continued with a few wines at weekends. I woke up at 5am this morning, with that feeling of dread as I realised I had drunk last night...it ends today. Last summer I was sober for 3 glorious months, and was just reaching the point of thinking it could be forever, but then another holiday persuaded me that one glass would be a good idea, which is annoying, because I'd already done a week away and stayed totally sober despite lots of pressure from others, and had completely enjoyed it!<br /><br />Anyway - I'm committing to the next 100 days sober (I've even downloaded a countdown app to my phone, so there's no going back from that!) and hence my long, and self-centred post here. I will not drink at all, for any reason, for the next 100 days, and I will be loitering around here eagerly awaiting your next inspirational post, as your posts helped me enormously on my previous 3 months of soberness.<br /><br />Love to you and your mutt xxxSugarFiendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15471718501739753054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763877266715908242.post-25086188118358092672017-03-17T08:00:41.179-07:002017-03-17T08:00:41.179-07:00How is the terrier?

My girl Mabel (...Sending good thoughts to your pup! My girl Mabel (a french bulldog) is 8 years old - when I first gave up wine, the hardest part of the day for me was 5:30 - 7:00, right when I would arrive home from work. Without kids, there's nothing to fill that blank space between work and dinner - and cooking dinner is impossible without wine, for me, even still. So, I coped by putting Mabel in the car, taking her to the nearest park or riverwalk, and getting out of the house. You are so right about four legged friends. I hope your pup recovers soon!

The other two are young and much older respectively. They have both had their challenges and I am sometimes almost paralysed with worry but it has generally always been OK (although I've paid for a couple of vets' holidays in Barbados along the way). I am sure it won't be too serious - best to get it checked out and make a generous donation the vets' next 5 series beamer.<br /><br />justonemoreJustonemorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07660105307364281743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763877266715908242.post-49310200638140410342017-03-14T12:54:40.258-07:002017-03-14T12:54:40.258-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Justonemorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07660105307364281743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763877266715908242.post-81683430041118784402017-03-14T12:16:31.816-07:002017-03-14T12:16:31.816-07:00I hope he feels better soon!
