Hello my lovelies

Sorry I couldn't put in full attendance last night but it was lovely to see you all - you're all gorgeous xx

Jo, I'm going to follow the Lurks approach to the challenge & boast if I get a day or 2

Just popping in, to say that I managed an AF night on Saturday - despite being out with family for a big boozy meal So, 15 for me now please Shaggy.

No hangovers and only a couple of glasses had all weekend - a bit of a miracle given the company we were with and I wouldn't have had the guts to do it without the support from this thread, thank you

Have a good evening all, Pen x

Hello

I've dipped in and out of these threads over the last couple of years, and started of with good intentions at the beginning of this year but lasted a couple of weeks, if that.

I've gone from being a weekend binge drinker in my 20's to a daily, mostly at home in the evening, drinker now (just turned 40). I'd be quite happy if I could just get back to the Friday/Sat drinking, but once 8.00 pm comes I get an irresistable urge to open a bottle. I think I'll just have one glass, but it's usually 3 or 4, or more (large ones) every evening.

I knew it would happen one day, but earlier this evening my son (5) said he didn't like me to drink as it wasn't good for me, and said couldn't I drink water or milk as it was good for me. I tried not to, but got all tearful and said it was because the programme I was watching was very sad.

I found myself trying to justify it to him, saying everything in moderation, and one glass a day is good for your heart. I knew I had more than that and said I would only have one glass a day in future. I often say this to myself but I have never been able to stick to it. I hope that I will this time.
