    PLEASE PUT YOUR TARGET AFDs IN A BOLD RED FONT and good luck!
    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.

  • Congratulations Marru - well done !!!

    Last time I gave up drinking I remember thinking how disgusting wine tastes when I did resume drinking again. I wondered what I ever saw in the taste in the first place, unfortunately it didnt take me long to get aquired to the taste again. But not liking the taste when I resumed again reminded me of when you have your first taste of a drink when you are a kid and how disgusting it tastes and you wonder what adults like about alcohol - I suppose when you are a kid its all about the taste and not so much about the effect.

    I had a very trying Saturday evening, it was a friends birthday and a big gathering with karaoke etc was taking place in their local pub. I`m not drinking at the moment so I was of course the driver. It was agony watching everybody getting more and more p***ed. A part of me realised I didnt belong on this scene anymore whereas another part of me was screaming JUST HAVE A DRINK AND LET YOUR HAIR DOWN, I`m glad I didnt though as I hear they were all still partying well into the next day and I know when I have partyed that hard in the past for me it is followed by a week of really really feeling the blues.

    The next day my dear hubby said it may have been agony watching everybody getting drunk but it cant be as much agony as what he and everybody were going through the next day with hangovers from hell.
    20 so far for me please Shaggy.

    Hi everyone,

    8 for me please Shaggy, could be better but then again it could be worse. I have decided that I am going to go for 14 for this month now given the fact that I have completely missed out on 16. So, I am now off the wine for 6 out of the next 7 days :eek::eek::eek:. Will also be getting on the scales this evening and monitoring how much difference a whole week without any wine makes.

    Is anyone doing the weekly challenge this week as if not I'll happily volunteer, although I may be a bit slow and make a few boo boo's.

    Hope everyone's OK, I've not had much chance to read back yet but have a feeling I will be glue to this thread over the next seven days for much needed inspiration!!!
