Hey Zoey!  
Was a little worried about you but glad to hear all is well.  I was about to post to Dave's and and Kez response to me on another thread.  Just wanted to respond to your post so you knew we were still here!

Hi everyone,

Been camping for a few days.  No internet. This week for me was not as good as last. I did not drink every day.  I still drank. I have learned (thanks to you once more Dave ) to say NO THANKS I'M TAKING A BREAK.  That worked.  At least for the days I choose not to drink.  I want all days like that.  Dave I am so trying. Still not trying hard enough or I would have this. I don't. Not yet. 

Still not where I wanna be and I'm still scared. I will never give up trying ..

Lynn way to go... You had a awesome week. Good for you...I thought of you a lot this week. As I have with everyone that has this battle. You got this. Day 6 tomorrow...

Jewels keep up the good work...

Drew keep trying.  Don't stop.  Together we can all do this.   

Good night all.  
Zoey.

Hi Zoey,

The most important thing is that you are making progress and moving forward. Everyone is different and ives at their ow pace and what works for them. A good friend of mine did the same and reduced her drinking at first and has been very successful with her progress. You're moving into a different mindset. Keep practising and stay focused!

Great work!

Dave my goal is to stop,  I'm really trying I thought I was stronger. I have to do it like this for now.  I feel better. I feel positive ..I will get there. It's only up from here.  I know. I imagine all the time what a nice feeling it will be when I can say. I don't drink. I practice saying this over and over.   

Again thanks you are an inspiration ...

Hi Zoey,

You've been doing a great job cutting back. Do you think maybe it's time to stop completely?

And thank you very much for your positive sentiments regarding our exchanges\ posts. It is a privilege if I can be of any help to you. Just so you know, it helps me as well and the positive energy flows both ways. You have a great attitude towards over-coming this challenge. Keep it up!
All the best,

Dave

Lynn how are you doing tonight? It's a really beautiful evening.  

When I think how much time in my life I have lost drinking , thinking about drinking, thinking about quitting. Omg , my thoughts are positive and I have to think about what it will be like when I don't drink. 

I do know on my days off I love the mornings.  This is what my focus point will be.  Forget about drinking. You can't have the last if you
Don't have the first...

Mickey I'm not familiar with liver pain. Water and lemon will help flush your system...  Drink lots of it... 

Maybe you should see your doctor..

I saw the word "scared" and that's what I am feeling right now.  Have never felt liver pain quite this bad.  I can only hope that it is the usual course, but I am feeling like I may have taken things too far this time.  Any one have insights on liver pain following a lot of binge drinking?
