    Well done getting through the BBQ BHB, did you give them a reason why you weren't drinking if you don't mind me asking?

    I think everyone on here has done brilliantly this month!:T

    Thanks. I just said that I was not drinking because it was becoming a bit of a bad habit and was drinking far to much. Having said that I don't think they understood really as they drink far far more than I ever have, and don't see it as a problem ...... or at least don't admit its a problem.

    someone told me I looked like Vanessa Feltz! I think it was one of the most insulting things anyone has ever said to me!:eek:
    Then they said it's not just how you look, it's the way you talk as well!:eek:

    :rotfl:I can laugh about it now, kind of!

    :rotfl:

    My mind is starting up with me again telling me maybe I don't have a serious problem, maybe I could have a drink or two after my evening meal once in a while, that if I control my drinking then I won't get into trouble again.

    So annoying!:o
