Interesting views on the 'all or nothing' debate. I still haven't cracked it when drinking at home but I can have one or two when I'm out and not get home and carry on. I can also not start drinking late (like when I've been 'deprived' by being the driver). I used to come home and sink the best part of a bottle even if it was after 11 p.m. It's all progress in the cutting-down journey. And remember evry AF day counts!
Made a start on March target tonight. Called in at a friends and accepted a cup of tea although wine was offered.:)
That's 1AF for March please Shaggy.0 -
Morning :hello:
2 AFDs pour moi.
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 -

Good morning all
2 please Shaggy!
hankfully no opportunities for drinking here this week - have been in bed by 9pm every night. Absolutely shattered. Hopefully stay awake for Slimming World tonight - would hate to start snoring halfway through!!:eek:
Chloris - I think certain days get us all. Sundays are mine. Good idea to change your routine a bit.
Must get on...should be in shower by now...
