Good job. One night at a time. :) I classified myself as an alcoholic at a MUCH younger age than 33 as I started drinking when I was 14. Started blacking out by 16 , finally quit when I was 32 and it's been 14 years all by doing it one night at a time. Good luck. I always say, if I could stop, ANYone can and I truely believe that!!!!

thank you all of you for your kind words of wisdom. but i have already failed today am on my second pint now. gggggrrrrr no as easy as i thought. but wil take that advice of one day at a time. the problem is that a friday has alwayse been my night for a drink so i think it is a habit now. the rest of the time is becoming toooo much of a habit as well. thats where the real problems started for me. but i also gave up cannabis last sept so over a year ago now and in its place the cider came. gutted feel like i have failed now.x

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
