    Blimey I'm an Aries as well :rotfl:

    Been for a curry and stuck to two small glasses of wine so really pleased that I've stuck to a sensible amount and not gone mad.

    So that does me my AF days have gone down to 5 from 6 as I had counted today earlier on. I am however staying in tomorrow as I know people are planning a bit of a heavy night out. I'll be happy chilling out on the sofa with my kitty cat :D

    EDIT: I have actually only had 1.5 small glasses of wine - I was on my second glass here at home when I typed and got half way through and couldn't stomach anymore and whereas I'd normally force it down, I chucked it. Woo hoo!

    It does with me too. I've wondered for awhile if alcohol can become a screen to hide behind.. *shruggy smiley needed here*

    It was for me. Or more to the point, it numbed all feeling so i didn't have to feel anything anymore- trouble is it numbs the good and the bad.

    Forgetting previous jokes...if you haven't read @feel the fear and do it anyway' I can recomend it. It's even on the nhs mental health book list.

    I remember reading that book when I was 19, but I think I was too young to really appreciate it. Maybe I should give it another go.

    Now that I am being more careful I'm starting to see the possible reasons for my excessive drinking.

    Hubby and I are going through a sh*te time, not sure if we're going to get through it and this afternoon at work I was sat there nearly in tears just really feeling the need to drink to numb it all out. But I now know it's much better to feel what's going on and much healthier to cry than sink a few bottles :o
