Hi 8888an8888

Thanks for asking how I am. A day late with my reply! Better late than never.

If I get through today without alcohol it will be eleven days! Eleven days without alcohol but only 1.5 days without matches! Big sigh...

I discovered that if it is very cold and I sit by the window with the heating off in thin clothes like a T shirt that I can actually get way TOO cold, and if it's uncomfortable enough to make me shiver and shake, the urge to burn myself can be temporarily removed! (I discovered this purely by accident because I was too depressed to get off my bed!) I wonder if it works like the sticking ice cubes on yr skin theory?? ... It worked today although the under the covers idea above seems more attractive!

I think living with myself for eleven days has been long enough so I'm not sure if I'll get to day 12.

Regards

FT
