Not AF last night and I'd forgotten how a bottle of wine makes you feel in the morning I can't be bothered with it anymore, so aiming for AF tonight.

Hope everyone gets on ok today, Pen x

Strangely, I've been thinking that myself Pen. This is the third Saturday in a row that I've felt a bit hungover:( I didn't even finish the bottle. It's as if I can handle a glass or two, enjoy them and then stop when I'm out but at home I don't seem to know when to stop. Old habits:o

I need to take a leaf from Shaggy's book.

Congratulations MrsR:j.

Congratulations MRS R xxx

Af for me last night and tonight so that is 28 AF please shaggy x

Hope everyone is having a good weekend x

Im feeling a little down tonight :cool: as all my best friends are out in the pub and Im here on my own (hubby is on nights). I dont trust myself yet to got the pub and not drink so I turned them down. I know they wouldnt push me to drink but I think I would get caught up in the atmosphere and end up drinking anyway. So here Iam Pyjama -clad and eating everything in sight instead to make me feel better.

Thankgod I bought skinny cow ice cream this week - so its not too bad x

bearacus I read your post and have signed in especially to say :T

It would have been sooo easy to have a 'S0d it' moment about going to the pub.

Ok, you may be feeling a bit left out and down about it now, but just think how :j you'll feel early tomorrow when you can feel so very proud and not hungover.

There really is no easy way, In order to achieve the AF you HAVE to go through these feelings - bit like Dolly Parton said:

'If you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain'

Be kind to yourself! xx

hi all
Am up since 5.40 feel real rough. Bottle wine last night and the night before. Whiskey during the week. Need to cut this out. Nothing wrong with having a drink once a week and staying within proper guidelines, but I can't seem to do that. Am getting scared of this. I really need to get my act together. Today has to be an AF day. best wishes everyone.

Hello
I hope you don't mind me joining in. I have to stop drinking. Once I start I can't stop and I keep getting myself into really dangerous situations. The most recent example of this was Friday. I'm too ashamed to say what actually happened but it was awful, and all my own fault. The only way is to stop altogether, I don'twant to be that person any more. I'm not alcoholic, I can happily go for weeks without drinking, but as soon as I have one I have to carry on until I pass out.
So this is day 2 of me being a non drinker. Yesterday was spent sorting out the situation I got myself into on Friday, and then in bed. I haven't had the chance to read through the thread yet but will do so later.
So here we go, I don't drink anymore. *scary*
