It's 6 hours or so since I posted and I am now feeling very down and guilty! I know I have to forget the past and move on but it is so so hard! I really do hate what I have done. If any one out there has any advice please please post!
Hi Jaym
I feel the same as you the guilt and feeling down must be part of the process from abstaining
We know now we have to abstain we know there is no quick fix and therefore we have to just ride through the feelings and stay strong
We have made our own bed and now we have to lie in it but we can get up and out of that bed everyday we abstain thinking positive and staying determined and holding our head up because we win everyday we don't play and that is the only wAy to go for us

Suzanne that is so true, thanks for your comments, they really do help! Day 69 and feeling ok. Looking forward to the gym later....
Back from the gym and feeling good. Only thoughts of positive things and not letting the demons kid me round to there thinking!!
Day 70. At work and feeling good. Onwards and upwards....

Day 71. Feeling positive and good in myself! At work all day so happy days...
Day 72. Add a good chat with my mum and feel good! No urges and feeling clean.
Day 73. Had a very busy day on my day off! Done lots of jobs and even cleaned the car. I find this is key to keeping the demons at bay. Keep mind and body busy....
Day 74. Looking forward to watching England with my brilliant wife and a few friends.....
Day 75 not much to say today...
Day 76 and feeling good! Going fishing with my Dad and Uncle. Away from any harm, the demons can drown today! Yes....
Hi Jaym
They sure can drown
Very well done on day 76
