The other woman in the group also decided to drive so we drank our tonic and fizzy water together. WW has been around but not too much. I expect her to start piling the pressure on soon but so far so good. I've been reading the earlier blogs and other Sober lit which has really helped.

I've not been on the blog for ...Hello everyone. I've not been on the blog for a while and it's great to read your posts again Clare. As always they are spot on. I'm now 10 months sober/AF and a journey of discovery it has been is an understatement. I've had the highs and lows that you would expect, have found out who I really am and who my real friends are. The early stages were frightening for me - in fact I was terrifies. Despite this, I always kept sight of where I wanted to be. I knew that I couldn't carry on drinking the way I was and that I'd run out of time. It had to be now. My pink cloud moment hit around 5 months in and they have been frequent since. I had a blip around 9 months when for about 2 weeks the wine witch was back - a constant voice in my head. I didn't even want one or two drinks. I just wanted to get drunk. Just once more. I didn't act on these feelings but the pressure was there - just like it was in the early days. Then suddenly she went - just as quickly has she'd arrived. People are really starting to notice the difference now - I get so many comments on how well I look. Wishing everyone all the luck in the world- a huge thanks to everyone for their support on this blog over the months - massive hugs to Clare and my super pal Meggie.

And wake up the next day hangover free, what could be better?!! Definitely read as much as you can, there are some great books and blogs out there. <br />Good luck everyone, we are here for you.

Glad you are still reading Clare's posts and keep reading Jason Vale etc. Remember how happy you were when you kicked the WW into touch earlier this year, I remember you getting to about day 40 and you seemed so happy with life, you KNOW you can do this. You know it's a tough journey, especially at the start but remember just take one day at a time. Don't look too far ahead as it can get depressing in the early days, Lol! I'm at about 7 months and still the wine witch pops up occasionally but it's so much easier to fight her off now and life is good. I have a good stock of AF beer in and binge drink that if I get a craving. <br /> Good luck everyone xxx Meggienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763877266715908242.post-46631688264705502732018-10-22T13:13:17.788-07:002018-10-22T13:13:17.788-07:00Good to know.
