Happy New Year everyone, just returned home from New year celebrations up in the north of scotland with family, had great time. Having last glass of wine from bottle in fridge at the min and then aiming to have my first of many AF days tomorrow. Although feeling optimisitic also feeling a bit wary of my ability to do this, but will take it at a day at a time and will keep you all postedIt’s not what you have in your life but who you have in your life that counts0

Hello all!
Just a quickie before bed.
I've managed today AF, so that's 1 successful AFD for me - hoorah!
Had a boring day cleaning, but this evening was much nicer as I saw my friend who I haven't seen for a few months and we had a monster catch-up.
If I hadn't been seeing her, I would probably have cracked open a bottle of something this afternoon, but I couldn't as I was driving to her house. So perhaps I should see a friend every night of the week, LOL!
Sleeps now - very tired.
Hugs
Caz

Woop woop 2/28 so far!
Having to not tell my mother though, as apparently quitting (well sort of quitting) alcohol for January is "pompous" and "cliched". Grrr :mad:
Still, back to my little home on Thursday then am free to drink, and not drink, what I please!“Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goals.”

Morning everyone, 2 AF DAYS SO FAR, I`ve got a stinking horrible cold and would normally be one of those peeps who use this as an excuse to self medicate with alcohol but I`m determined to stay sober. I wana get to the point that I have with smoking, that is the point when i`ve gone past the giving up stage and I`m now a non smoker. I wana get to the point where I can confidentially feel that I`m a non drinker.0

ShaggyxWhat do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.0 -
