    Morning all,
    Well yesterday made it 12 AFD for me - halfway there :eek:

    Wine bells rang loudly last night at about 5pm, managed to distract myself by tidying up a few things then I forgot all about them until later on and I no longer wanted a drink.

    Hope everyone else is ok and well today, it is very sunny here this morning, feels like summer!

    does anybody take Citalopram or know anybody that takes it? My wife has been prescribed it by our GP for depression. However she is an alcoholic (GP knows) who has been into rehab for 6 weeks about 18 months ago and recently packed in the booze for 7 weeks again..with the help of Citalopram and also Chlordiazepoxide. Hooray, life was good!!...for a while...but she's recently started drinking on the sly again, unfortunately. It's causing real problems in respect of issues of trust etc, but my problem now is that my wife appears to be drunk some of the time (usually in the evenings) and i really can't be sure if she's actually had a drink or two behind my back or whether its the drug. Unfortunately she has a track record of lying to me about the booze, hence the trust issues. I really want to believe that her apparent drunkeness is caused by the drug but find it difficult to believe. Has anybody had any experience of this? Thanks.

    I know people that have taken Citalopram and other anti depressants and have appeared "drunk" on them eg: slurring and being vague. I can't say whether that is the case with your wife obviously though but I do know some people get a strong reaction to prescribed medication. Welcome as well!

    I am on day 8 AF today. I really want to make my target this month after missing it last month. I think I might go back and see how many days I have been AF this year and put it as my signature just to remind myself that I did exceed my AF target in January and it might spur me on a bit.

    Hope you guys are all okay.:A

  • Hello all
    I am on the naughty bench.

    Out at a thing after work and wine bells got me.

    BUT - instead of buying one whole bottle of wine to drink I bought only two small cans - eq to 2 big glasses wine - although not brilliant not as much as I would normally have drank.

    Planning on AF tonight (purse now locked at work - I am such a child)- so no update for me today NTC.
    Total debt 26/4/18 <£1925 we were getting there. :beer:
    Total debt as of 28/4/19 £7867.38:eek:
    minus 112.06 = £7755.32:money:
