Good luck Jo, I know its hard but there is NO REASON to drink today is there? Its Tuesday, it isn't anyones birthday or anniversary, you've not got friends round, money stress is reducing as OH is helping with the groceries, its not a special occasion (oh apart from holby on later!) etc etc. You don't have to drink- you know you don't. You don't want to drink- you know you don't. Drink doesn't like you- you know it doesn't. It frightens you and makes you anxious and guilty. Just a few hours to hold your nerve Jo- come on, promise to give you a massive virtual cheer if you get to 10.00 pm, and will even try and get technical and find some nice smileys as congrats. Jo whatever you decide best of luck, we'll all be here for you.0

Come on Jo, you can do it! Lets all have an AF night!
I'm at work at the moment and EVERYONE is talking about drink and what they're having tonight. I'm unusually quiet!

Yay!! Well done Jo! Enjoy your ice cream!
WB - 10/16 AF for me please. You're doing a cracking job on keeping the scores. I'm struggling just keeping track of my own days!
Slightly odd maybe, but I've tried AF Becks a couple of times now, just 1 bottle each time, and I've felt a worse 'hangover' after it than on normal alcohol - headache afterwards, bad sleep, wake up feeling sick. Maybe just coincidence but it's put me right off.
Back to the fresh orange and fizzy water combo...

Well done Jo for hanging in there and getting through the cravings!
Haven't been around much today as busy with ebay listing and selling.
