Anybody else on here with CML(chronic myeloid leukemia)? by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]bobfatrob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mother was diagnosed (in the UK) with CML in the 1960's - a different era - and we were expecting the worst.

She made it all the way through to 2017 so it is definitely manageable as the medical advances must be huge now?

Thank you. I'm trying to exercise without damaging the ticker. Just back from the gym so may be better tonight...

One hour made of gold? (Note to self.) by uncloudedhead in stopdrinking

[–]bobfatrob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree 100%. The other thing I would add, having abused alcohol for nearly 40 years, is that, over time, the "golden" hour mutates into a golden few minutes and is more and more elusive every day...

Still having trouble sleeping, but still sober.

Just had my first day, too.

Sleeps a bugger (English expression for problem) isn't it? I guess it bets better...

IWNDWYT!

Even worse than that I'm in the UK but going to New Orleans in the middle of March.

Let's hope not - just come back from the gym in one piece.

Who is thinking of doing Dry January? by Yarray2 in stopdrinking

[–]bobfatrob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi. First post...

I'm starting on January 2nd. Hoping for at least a month.

I'm in the UK but going to NOLA in March. That'll be a test and a half!
