I'm doing OK

I've not had a drink for eleven days today and I'm feeling pretty good about it too. No shakes, no desperation and no great problems having a good nights sleep either.

These things might change tomorrow, they might change tonight, in fact they may well change in a couple of minutes time. That's how difficult alcohol can be, one moment you feel alright and the next it's all changed and you're desperate for a drink. That's where you get caught out and fall in your own face.

Hopefully, that won't happen for a good length of time. It has happened so many times before and I've had to pick myself up, shake off the dust and start again but fingers crossed, eh!?!?

So I'm aiming for no sight of booze. That means no visiting the pub etc, etc. Out of sight, out of mind and all that.

Fingers crossed :))

Early night tonight

Think that I'll have an early night tonight. The latest copy of Web Designer has just come in so I'm going to make a pint or so of tea and take it off to bed with me (I've already had an early dinner) and the magazine will be under my arm as I climb into bed.

That'll keep me out of trouble, and booze, this evening.

No complaints about going to sleep sober!!!

Yesterday I spoke shite

Yesterday I spoke shite.

It is a skill that I have, it's a skill that I stand proud of and quite rightly so!!!

Yesterday I commented on there being no side effects suffered from acamprosate. This was spoken a little too soon. There is at least one side effect and that is tiredness. I don't know yet if it is worth telling the doctor, I'll give it some time yet as it may calm down but at present, after a good nights sleep, in the middle of the afternoon - I'm knackered. I want to go to bed and sleep my life away and it does not feel natural.

A few days at it yet - I'm not giving in yet.

If I do give in, if I do then what have I got left to complain about???
