So I have now begun to tell people why I no longer drink- because I'm an alcoholic. I have felt No embarresment whatsoever in admitting this to friends,family & even people I met at a party last week end who asked why I was drinking diet coke & coffee! I've had nothing but positive & encouraging responses to my admission that I'm an alcoholic until now....

I was holding off on telling my Grandad as I knew he may not be so positive to my telling him that I have a chronic drink proble… Continue

Just a quick post as I haven't been able to come on here very often recently. My little one is off school & I have been out everyday with her doing lovely mummy & daughter stuff :o)

I am still sober & am loving life so much it's ridiculous. I have more energy than I've had in a long time & my daughter is loving the activities we're doing together now as we're out every single day for hour's upon end.

Now I'm all healed physically, although I will bear the… Continue

Thanks to Bart & Melly for your posts, both are keeping me on the straight & narrow & helping me stay sober. Bart, the Living Between the Fives resonates with me & it sums me up totally.

I've know for a long time that I'm an 'All or Nothing' type of person. I'm either so happy I could burst or so sad I wanna die, there's no happy medium & I'm finding that very hard to deal with. I no longer have the option of getting drunk & being on a booze high so at the moment I feel… Continue
