    I never knew you did that Al, glad you have seen the error of your ways.

    I drank during the day maybe once a month.

  • I'm having to take it one moment at a time now. Can someone remind me why I can't drink?

    I rarely drank before 2pm - and it was only 2 or 3 times a week that I'd drink from 2pm till 4am or so. And I only drank 2 or 3 bottles of wine or something, not much.

    The only reason you can't drink, is if you don't want to. Its all down to you in the end.

    "And I only drank 2 or 3 bottles of wine or something, not much" :rotfl: Yep not much :rolleyes:

    Its up to you FG, if your asking us for reasons not to drink, you already know them, if you want to stop you have to want to, even after all this time, you still have to want to. I still want to not drink, thats a good enough reason for me.

    Jayne, chocolate, didn't touch it myself until I gave up, helps replace the sugar :) Try counting your units, have a look at the back of a bottle and see how many you drank! I used to do my weekly recommended amount in a day :(
