    Wait an hour and see how you feel then. Forget one day at a time lets all do one hour at a time.

    List 20 things you could do instead of having a drink
    Watch some sh1te telly (plenty of choice) - check
    Eat something really naughty - check
    Go to the chippy or macdonalds instead (they dont sell alcohol) - euuwww
    Read this thread from the start - check

    Good luck xx

    Did my weekly shop today and didn't buy any wine. DS found it rather odd! So day 2 AF for me so far. The plan is to eat yummy food, then give my self a good long soak and pampering, including an early night. Keep strong everyone.

    I tossed and turned all last night, I felt really hot and then cold and had an unsettled night but I am feeling better today and I am on AFD 2 now. Lots of snacks and bad TV to look forward to tonight instead of booze.:rotfl:

    Hope people resisted the lure of the off licence and all AFD people are feeling alright.:A
