My DH insisted on having a large glass of my favourite wine with dinner, so it was dandelion and burdock to the rescue for me and it was surprisingly easy to resist.

I love Dandelion and Burdock.

I don't know if it's because I have reached my (very low) target I set myself but I really fancy a couple of drinks tonight and I think I might. Don't all hate me. I won't get legless or anything. I wonder if I will notice the effects of the alcohol the next day now that I have been AF for 7 days.

Well done everyone.:A

I have completely failed at this - my home made wine is ready and, well, Ive been drinking it, every day. At least its free, but not what I intended to do...Luckily its not too strong, so the effects are minimal.
I will have to try harder.

No one is going to hate you 115k!

Take it easy though. 7 days off might mean you really feel it the next day.

Hi all - hugs to those that need them.

Had one of those days today, nothing major, just lots of annoying things...the heatings packed up, the kids are bickering, work was really
stressful, so guess what I really could do with?

But I am going to try really hard to resist, because apart from my half bottle of red last weekend, I have been AF for two weeks...

But, this little voice in my head needs shutting up, its really getting on my nerves...its saying "but you didn't really drink THAT much did you" and "go on...a nice glass of dry white, and you can chill out for the first time all day - afterall - you deserve it, you've worked sooo hard, and one bottle isn't going to matter is it"....

arrgghhh!

I really am strugging...got the Becks on ice, but am craving a cold glass of Pinot!

HELP!!

I hope you resist Patchoulli (not that I am a good example as I am about to have a glass of rose, not an AF day for me then.:o)

Thank you Grey Pilgrim and Lurkio.:kisses:

:hello: to Beautiful Ravens and Gwingwyn.

I must go and cook dinner in a minute. Hope you all are okay tonight. x

Its quiet on here tonight! I bought myself a bottle of wine before, I thought I might have a glass, not for any particular reason! But I've decided not to, its not the weekend and thats my main target really not drinking in the week.
So its in the fridge.
Patchoulli how are you doing?
