This is the bit I'm failing at - moderation. I'm finding it fairly easy to be AF when in the normal routine at home (hope that doesn't sound smug but it was just breaking the habit I needed to do & I seem to have cracked that for the time being). But see how few days I'm at home in the normal routine!! And, now my problem is that whereas a lot of you cutter-downers are being brilliant at having just one or two, every non AF day for me has seen me having far too much. Now, I'm actually rather fond of binge-drinking & reserve the right to do it sometimes !! but I have got to leave behind the "all or nothing" mentality every time I start.

Jo - as we seem to be, erm, lagging behind a bit here I'm going to try for 4 AF days with you this week. Secretly hoping for 5. (Now it's not a secret - damn! There I go again - no self restraint)

Edit: I watch Corrie!!

I could never do moderation. It would be all or nothing.
If I did have one, I would really want another one. So I found it easier not to have any.

If I was a person that could drink in moderation, I would.
I am not that person, so I don't drink at all.

If you guys can do moderation AND STICK TO IT, then you are doing well, and have no need to give up drinking entirely. :T
However, if we could drink in moderation, we wouldn't be posting on this thread !

However, with me, I couldn't do that so don't drink at all

My downfall is Movenpick ice cream - totally and utterly indulgent (oh and the booze and choklit and cakes and.....I could go on!)
