Morning babes, and Miflaw,
I have re-read this thread this morning, and something JWN said made me realise that perhaps it's ok for me to post and say nothing much!
I have felt that I didn't have anything useful to say to others, and I didn't want to write about myself, as I am not in that bad a situation, it just feels like it, for me, sometimes.
Anyway, after a couple of months clear and free at the end of last year, I regressed the last couple of months, and have been drinking on a couple of evenings a week, until quite recently. Not just a glass or two, but a bottle and a half just like before. I will never be a controlled drinker.
It happened for many reasons, problems with DH, hard time at work, worries about extended family, but the main reason is because I picked up one, and it all goes downhill from there.
I also (sounds mad?) was a bit worried, that I'd drink, then come on here and absolve myself, sort of take away the responsibility because I'd said it, and then do it again 3 days later. Hence my not posting much for a little while 
, taking what I do back to me IYSWIM?
So, not many moons ago, I decided that I didn't want to go back down that same old road, and stopped. As I think Miflaw I think has said, the problems haven't gone away, work still hard, DH and I still walking a bit of a tightrope (but not quite so much, wonder why!).
Ma It's easier to say no, and why when you're sober, isn't it, but the strop still happens 
. DH thinks sex is the balm to cure all, at the end of a difficult day, and has had to put up with me talking instead! We're work in progress 
Mouseface I hope spring is sprung around your way, and that Nemo had a good night.
Isindie I miss you! How are the DT's sleeping?
Time for me to do something, I think, thanks for listening.
