    Hi all, not posted for a few days, didn't realise that the thread had moved. Just had a read through some of the posts, great source of inspiration.
    Mrsrainman, feel free to rant - we all do at some stage. It is an eyeopener seeing it from the perspective of someone who doesn't drink. My ex used to match me drink for drink, if one was drunk, so was the other. I don't think I could cope with a partner who drank while I stayed sober. I also know that I wont be getting into another relationship with a big boozer (nor smoker for that matter).
    1 further AFD tonight - the first in over a week.
    Target for April is 15. I have a few social events to attend, but will drive to them. Will aim to limit the time that I spend alone in the house as this is when I tend to consume the most.
    Lets all keep enjoying the sunshine while it lasts
