    I think we're thinking the same things!

    Evening MiLady :)

    Here's my logic

    The worst drunken episodes in my life have been with a few friends who I use to go stay over with - infact I'd engineer every meet so we'd end up having a good few drinks.

    When I first tried to cut down I'd avoided them for a bit cos they were gettting a bit ar**ey about my not getting blootered with them and that always involves staying over. I did feel bad about it but I needed to change not necessarily them.

    I spoke to someone on here about it ages ago and they suggested (E?) that why not just change the bit which makes alcohol even relevant :confused: then there's no scene about you not staying and no scene actually about drinking cos it isnt appropriate in alot of situations

    SO now I meet up with my pal for a coffee, we go walk, we go shopping, but I don't stay over anymroe cos I'm not interested in getting blootered anymore.

    She's happy and I don't suppose she's even noticed

    That's why I suggested an earlier meet - cos then its not really an issue as brekkies, walks and coffees don't involve alcohol normally. (not that I am suggesting we can't meet up in the evening and not get blootered - I was just thinking of ways where it wasn't even an issue.

    :) - secret stripey logic :D that is keeping me more and more on the straight and narrow

    However, I'm like Jo - far less inclined to drink much when out, more problematic in the house alone - which I'm tackling head on!

    And speaking of tackling.......................

    HB I think I have 2 or 3 more AFD's - when did I get to 7?

    All the "visitors" (read: uninvited guests :rotfl:) should be dead but they don't seem to have grasped this fact as yet :rolleyes:

    Should hoepfully sort it so then I'll just have another mammoth cleaning/washing sofa covers etc session to go through. The council will be back to check on things next week too so paws crossed :)
