    Anyway I'm hoping to find some support and encouragement here, as well as give some to othes when needed. ITRW people just shrug and say, don't drink it then! It's not that easy though is it?!

    Too right purpleheather, you'll have lots of sympathetic and empathetic (and just plain pathetic:D) friends on here! Welcome

    so I'm going to get on the exercise bike in a minute. Feeling a bit touchy and grumpy so hoping the exercise will perk me up.:)

    Hope the exercise did the trick MissP and well done on sticking with your AF plans:T

    :T to everyone chipping away at your AF targets.

    Nothing to report for me tonight. I went out, had the one glass with my meal and then came home and made a cup of tea. Gone are the days when I'd have said s*d it and just carried on drinking. Back on the wagon tomorrow, shift up!

    What 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.

    What're you planning for the holiday Shaggy? Are you banking the money you'd have frittered on booze?

    Me and the bf haven't decided where we are going yet but hopefuly somewhere hot with a beach beach2.gif My savings are growing :) but need extra effort in 2011.

    WelcomeBlueSmiley.gifPurpleHeather. Maybe you could join this week's challenge run by Pen. We will also be starting a montly challenge for February next Tuesday, maybe you could join this? You decide how many alcohol free (AF) days you want to try for in February and then just report how you are getting on.

    Hope that makes sense. And Good Luck :D

    good morning, feeling a lot more 'normal' this morning -think I have finally shaken off the last of the flu. I realised that I have spent the last 10 days AF - obviously there's no way one wants to drink with flu, but I am going to carry on AF to give my body the maximum chance to recover. I've also accidently decaffeinated myself so I might try to keep to decaf coffee - my goodness, that would all be so very healthy wouldn't it!
    Trying to keep in budget.
