    been meaning to post this for ages so here goes! Some of you may remember a month or so back I was asking about alternative drinks to replace wine? Well I worked out that I drink wine cos I like wine, not cos I want the alcohol (have a cupboard full of the stuff!) so as long as I can control my cutting back/intake, I don't need a replacement :)

    That's possibly a bit long-winded :o but in essence I'm doing fine with tea & water :D

    Well done you :T

    Its funny, I think that I drink wine early evening to take the edge off the day etc and then once I have the first drink I won't usually stop till the bottle is gone, however, when there is no wine in the house, I would never drink the cider or spirits that are around just for the alcohol content (although I might have a beer if there happens to be any in) I really think with me I need to look at my life and how I react to things and make a few changes.......food for thought (not to eat though, feel really sick after all that ice cream _pale_)

  • Evening all....good to see you back YM .

    I`m on 3 days November GG please.

    Nearly had a little wobble tonight....strange as its been a couple of months. I was in Iceland & found myself on the `wine` aisle....3 for £10 was calling my attention.:eek::eek:

    I resisted as I am determined not to waste all the hard work in trying to change my habits. Thankfully I made it to the checkout....bill only £2.75 phew!!

    Have a great Wednesday & be strong everyone.
