Title: I'm proud of myself today.
Post by: Micky on May 16, 2012, 06:50:02 PM

I've been self medicating with alcohol every night for quite a while now. Had the odd evening off, more by accident than design. Today I made a concious decision to not drink when I got home from work and I've managed to do it. I do feel the need for a drink, more a psychological than physical need but it's there and I'm managing it. May even be able to read before bed tonight too which will be good. I miss having the urge to read.
