    Morning all!

    How weird? I woke up this morning and thought do I feel rough? Have I got a headache?

    Why do I think this? I only drank squash last night!

    Next thought? Oh shall I buy some wine for tonight? Why do I think this a 7.45am?

    Oh dear that seems a bit early to me to be thinking about having a drink. Well I won't give in and I will stay AF today and tonight

    I sometimes feel like this and find myself thinking about beer when shopping first thing.

    I actually walked down the beer aisle yesterday to test my resolve. The voices were trying to lure me onto the rocks but my course was steady :D

    Well done on feeling positive for tonight Fuas :T

    Morning all :)

    I'm not going to hit my target but did have a mini success as I bought a bottle of wine Thursday, only drank half then drank the rest last night plus went to Tesco after work & didn't buy more, so am still kinda pleased with myself.

    Aiming for an AF weekend though...

  • Morning everyone :).

    Still AF, despite a few days of having loads of relatives down to stay. I've now got used to going into my local and just having soft drinks (but that was really tough - I had to stay in the beer garden the first couple of times and give others the cash to go to the bar, but I eventually plucked up the courage and had to stop the barman automatically pulling a guinness when he saw me :D.)

    Anyway we're all off down to Devon now til midweek, so have a good 'un all of you, and keep with it.
