Hardly :rolleyes:, it's the stella and I've included the non alcoholic cans I buy too to disguise the fact I'm drinking the real stuff obviously if I'm not buying real stuff, I don't need the fake stuff so an extra saving to me made :money:

Mine would be £155 if I did £5 a day for 31 days.

If I was completely honest and did £10 a day 5 times a week it would be £200.:D

I do now think though that I am preferring this life of AFness. I feel in control, I feel positive and I feel happier with myself and can be nicer to everyone I meet. I also feel I have more choice in things - can go places by car and not be dictated to by drinking, so O dont need to plan taxis/trains back or worse, chosing not to go to places because I "wont enjoy it if I cant have a drink".
It's freedom I suppose.

This is how I feel now as well, it is liberating to not have to be preoccupied by making sure the next drink is available, or worrying about dealing with situations without a drink. Someone - can't remember who,sorry - said a few pages back, like flicking a switch. Suddenly you see the whole alcohol thing from a different perspective.

I know it sounds silly but in the culture where I grew up (Scottish.....need I say more?) I always thought you had to drink to be a proper grown-up - it has taken me years to recognise that this weird assumption underlay a lot of my drinking.

Why you paying £6.50 ? For the non-alcoholic stuff too ?
Oh and if you are fidgety you can come and finish painting my front room ceiling...rewards include minstrels and frozen mars bars.

Be strong - remember lots to do on saturday and if AF tonight then you'll probably end up doing something fun with the littl'uns (ps speaking to chum tonight re price and what package is...:))
