Just a quick post to say I won again today. I think the bottle is beginning to realise it's losing the fight and it didn't even show up in the ring today. In fact, the only time I thought about drink was when I was in the kitchen and saw my chalk-board, right before I came upstairs to post before going to bed, and I thought, 'Aha! Another day to chalk up!'
I've been lucky, I've had some easy days , and the days that have been harder have been manageable. I know there is help there when I need/want it, and it means a lot to come in here and say I've had a successful day, and read about other bloggers' struggles and triumphs. Because family and friends had no real idea of the extent of my drinking, there's no-one to be proud of what I'm doing, or to encourage me, so I'm learning to be proud of myself, and to find my encouragement within myself - and here.
Thank you, everyone, for your blogs and your comments and your honesty. I'm so glad I've found this on-line community.

Our big book says that alcohol is "cunning, baffling, and powerful" and I sure have found that is true. I would rather surrender to my powerless over it than to have to fight every day. I am so glad you are not drinking, and hope you will go to an AA meeting.
Glad to hear of you and that you haven't died from the drink.
For me, the moment I decided that the help I needed was from a higher power, it lifted a huge burden of trying to manage it myself.
Keep on coming back. There is some real powerful stuff on these blogs.
I am glad you are here too...
