  • I wasnt AF last night I had a bottle of wine but I`m really trying to stick to having a bottle on a Friday night only as Saturday morning is the only morning I can have a lay in. Sunday mornings I have to get up early to watch boy playing fooball and too many times in the past I`ve stood there in the freezing cold and pouring rain with a stinking hangover and the time draaaaaaaaaaaaaaags (although I hasten to add I do love watching him) its so much more of a pleasent experience with a fresh clear head and being sober from Saturday through the rest of the weekend sets me up for the week although I do slip up from time to time and have a mid week drink but hey ho I`m working on it, onwards and upwards and good luck to everybody who is working on it too. 7 AF DAYS FOR ME SO FAR THANKS SHAGGY

  • Hope nobody minds but after 8 hours I thought I would break the silence otherwise Jo might get it into her head that she is a thread breaker. Apart from that, nothing much to report.

    Is this called speaking for the sake of it?

    Hi everyone,

    It's very quiet on here, hope that means alls well??

    I'm feeling yuk today, wasn't AF last night, have had the headache from hell most of the day :mad: ... my brain should be starting to get the message that my body's had enough of the binging!

    I have been keeping an online drinking diary at http://www.drinkingdiary.com/index.html (I can't remember who recomended it but thank you I like it a lot :)) and although Im still up and down it's good to see exactly how much and how many units Im drinking. Its making me think more about the pattern of my drinking.

    Jo can you please put me down for Sat/Sun I have absolutly no intention of drinking today and (no money to buy anything other than essentials until payday :eek:)

    Pen Im on 6 AFD's now thanks

    Mari

    Not that it's any of my business (:o) but I'm sure there'll be room for you on the island somewhere jo. I've always fancied Hogmanay in Scotland. I'll teach you a few virtual dance steps.


    Not AF myself (well I am at the moment but won't be later) but rooting for all of you who are. Good luck with the weekend's challenge.
