    My next aim is to cut down when I do drink. I seem to think that if I can't count it as a AFD, I might as well make it worth it and drink all round me. Which is really not good!

    That was always what I intended, but I've got zero self-discipline when I've had one. I always thought a second wouldn't hurt and after a couple it was game on! You're right though - if you can stop after one and just call it a low alcohol night you'll be in control. It's finishing the bottle because it's open that the mistake. (And ours was to buy 15 litre wine boxes. Fatal.)

    Hope your holiday is going swimmingly, Shaggy. 18/31 please.
    Better is good enough.

    Everyone Welcome! It's never too late to join....

    Please highlight your AFDs in Red

    Don't hesitate to let me know if I've made a mistake!
    What do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.

    Hello


    I found you all again!! Just back from holiday on Monday, drank every day whilst away, however, I did have a non AF victory this year, normally I get so drunk, next morning I cannot remember what was said or how I even got back to our room, I am pleased to say that this holiday I did not do that once & thoroughly enjoyed myself as did my hubby & kids as I didn't make an @rse of us all, I enjoyed it without being stupid & greedy with it & I haven't had anything since Monday which was our last feast as the diet started again Tuesday. Shaggy can you put me down for 10 for August please & so far I have 3/10, hopefully have an AF tonight but wont declare yet, have a good weekend everyone x

    Morning all - not an AFD for me today, I'm going to a small child's birthday followed by an evening out with friends, looking forward to it though. Hope everyone else is having a good day. :)
