Not poor shaggy still, is it?

Yes! LOL :rotfl:

I don't mind doing it:D I get up earlishish to catch up on Asian market news so I tend to update the chart while I'm listening/watching that. (I'm having a strange week this week though so I might be a bit later this week...)

Anyhoo, if anyone else wants a go just shout....

Morning all

Feeling a bit more positive here today. Had a nice evening with Piglet and OH last night. OH very understanding and being extremely supportive.

Shaggy - 3 for me please. Won't make target because of my slip up.

Just a very quick one,

I can't log on every day at the moment, so my updates til 18th Jan will be quick and brief!

1 more AFD for me please Shaggy!

I am having a lovely time up in Mancs with my parents and will be seeing some friends over the next 2 weeks too, so I will be drinking at the weekends, but will do my best not to drink at all during the week.

Hope everyone is well and happy.

hugs,

Caz

:wave: Just a quick hello cazz, glad you're having a good time and plans to see friends. You need a break after all the messy business lately. Enjoy!:)

I know moderation is harder than giving up completely, and after this month I intend to practise moderation... but I've also been continually run down and ill for ages, and feel I need a bit of a change in my outlook. Also, I was getting rather too cheered up by the first drink of the evening (or day, over Christmas...) and it isn't a reaction I like.

That's a debatable point lotti, and one that we've discussed on here many times in one form or another;). But as a determined cutter-down I'm delighted to hear you say that, it's made me feel very good about my achievements. Thank you!

I'm a weekend drinker but I do allow holidays and special occasions then get back on the wagon immediately after. It's not been easy but I've had a good talk to myself and now I even listen:)

Glad to hear you're feeling better today MissP. It's a good feeling returning to some form of normality (whatever that is?).

Hello. What a great thread. Can anyone join in?

I am aiming to be a cutter-downer rather than taking the pledge for life, but being honest with myself, I am firmly of the "One drink is never enough and more than one always becomes too many" persuasion. So it's abstinence for the time being.

And thus far I have managed 6 days. No white knuckles yet.
