Thanks, Shar, for all your supportive words... the trouble with AA is that I couldn't attend it without my family knowing. And I don't want them to know. If my husband knew, he would probably support me as he does know I drink too much, though not to what extent - but he would also tell everyone about it. Telling my husband something secret is like taking an ad in the national press - he cannot keep it to himself.
I'm going to start on Sunday - I can't start Friday or Saturday, as they are my most difficult days, and I would fail straight away. I need to work up to them! I have one thing to help me - a thought I must keep thinking all through the evening - when I drink, I feel really ill the next day, and still have to go to work. Wouldn't it be nice to feel *good* in the mornings. (You see, Greg, I don't need Antabuse to make me ill!)
I find if I don't have an appetite, I don't drink. Sometime ago I took some diet pills, and while I was on them, I did not drink. Unfortunately these pills have now been withdrawn from sale. If I could find a replacement for those...
Anyhow, Sunday is the day. Please send me your thoughts Sunday evening! (Remembering I am GMT in London!)
