Someone on here experimented with counting units rather than AF days. That might be an idea if you like just one/two glasses of an evening. Personally I think I'm better on AF days because me and a bottle of wine are a bit like Mastermind (I've started so I'll finish:o).

Thanks for that suggestion. I think I might do that, though December isn't a great month to be counting units . If I can stick to just one glass on weekdays with some AF days too, that'll do me.

I have surprised myself really, because I would also usually have finished a bottle and started on the next. Coming on here each day and reading how everyone is doing is keeping me on track, and trying to see if I can stay AF means that on the days I do give in it is usually quite late, rather than me looking at the clock and wondering whether 7.00 pm is too early to have a glass. It is more like 10.00 pm now.

Thanks to everyone who has given me words of encouragement to keep me on the right path.
