SR - thanks for the pep talk. I am filled with hope today but am reminding myself it's a long process and to be patient. I look at last night as a sign of things to come and know it will not continue for long. Next week when I go back up in volume, I will be reading through all of your week 2 posts...so glad to have the journals of the old-timers to look back on. It's a big help!


You are so very welcome. We old timers are a couple of months ahead of you but in Sinclair years, that is a lifetime. N101CS is our Lazarus. This guy has a long white beard and has faced daemons we are yet to encounter. He has battled Shelob and came face to face with Sauron when he drank without Nal. We honor him not only for his longevity but also for his honesty and courage for he has tread paths we will inevitably follow if we ignore his clarion call.

And that is how we will survive for those who go among you will warn of obstacles and you will find a better path. In a few short years, the SM will become so much more refined and you and I will be a part of its wonderful success.

Awesome post SR - made me laugh at work when I read it (but I can't reply from there...).

I always enjoy your comments, thanks for taking the time to 'talk' to everyone on this site - you and RV and Marbella and Lena will always be my heros for highlighting this method with such knowledge & humor.

Using the calculator here- http://www.cleavebooks.co.uk/scol/ccalcoh3.htm

...And inputting that your bottle is 750cl, then it is only 6 units per bottle by US standards. (UK is much more, but you are not in the UK:)).

My units had only lessened in the 2 weeks prior to TSM because of my circumstances and using A LOT of willpower (I would not have been able to keep the units down for long) before that I was at around 70 units most weeks.

I don't think it matters how many units you are on, all the more reason to get you started! You will soon find them dropping off don't worry 8-)

Don't count more than 9 units on a btle and cheer yourself up that you can shave it down some even on UK scale . Anyway that's pre sinclair......Enjoy your honeymoon.
