sorry i haven't been back on here for a little while. i have been reading posts though. i haven't had a drink in about 2 weeks now. and it was only 2 or 3 on that occasion. everytime i get offered a drink i ponder for a few minutes and have usually said "no thanks". i do feel like 1 or 2 to relax at times or when i'm out places with mates on weekends. but i've resisted the urge recently. i've been committed to the cause wink

i recieved my first clear PET scan (post treatment) on Thursday this week so that was brilliant news for myself, family & friends.
I'm still unsure of how much, how often (if at all) i should be drinking now. i used to love a drink. but the thought of a recurrence is a scary thought to say the least! but i'm getting mixed msg's on whether it is or isn't a bad thing to have a drink or 3 socially or not. it doesn't hurt my mouth to drink certain beers. and perhaps chewing gum in between would help keep the mouth clean when i'm on a night out?
