    Evening everyone
    10 Af please Shaggy and 4 for the SNC please Bearacus

    As im feeling a bit better today i thought i would 'celebrate' by having a glass of wine and the only thing that prevented me from pouring a glass was that i really wanted to complete this weeks SNC as ive failed miserably over the last wee while. So big thanks to the lovely bearacus and shaggy for keeping the challenges going. :T:T

    Wow, loads of good scores being put up today - well done everyone!

    I was going to take the easy route and not tell you all but honesty is important in our relationship! Worked v late and then back to London starving and tired. Sprint out for takeaway about 10pm and decide to join OH in some wine. OH probably two bottles ahead of me! I agonise. I debate, both in my head and out loud with OH. Eventually (well a couple of minutes later) I think s*d it and I take a gulp It was disgusting. I admit it, I drank some, about a teaspoon or so - so there goes a chance to put in another SNC.

    Still at least that's all I had tonight, I looked longingly at the spirits on the bookcase and saw sense and told myself not to be so stoopid!

    Still on 3 SNC and 3/13 - what a waste.

    Love that Miss-Piggy-Mobile although I think it needs a feather boa!

    Well done Mackeroo and FPT and Good Luck Jo.

    MissP - have a great holiday!
    WBF - I had a very similar experience Monday. Lost an AFD for a couple of mouthfuls of cider. Oh well, we are changing, we decided not to continue when we realised we weren't enjoying it.
    Ruth - I echo what the others have said - see another doctor.
    Mackeroo - well done on resisting!

    I am on 7 afd in August and I made my 3 snc.
  • Morning all :hello:

    WBF
    - don't beat yourself up over it, it's only a technicality. The point is your attitude is changing, and it's another night your liver doesn't have to spend processing booze while you're asleep. :)

    Hope you have a great holiday Miss P!

    I'm not sure what's going to happen with me tonight, the only time I've had an AF friday is if I've had the flu. But I am going to be drinking tomorrow I think so I may try and see if I can do it tonight, I feel like I'm on a bit of a roll. :) Have a good day everyone!

    WBF, I really don't think you can count that as a drinking day. In fact what you did is far more commendable than not drinking at all in my book, it was very easy for you to continue in s*d it mode but you were stronger than that, well done!

    Didn't do too well on my first day, but I have decided this evening I will be cutting my intake down and tomorrow in preparation for an AFD on sunday (first one for about 8 months :eek:)

    Have a great holiday Miss P :) are you about on Bank Hol weekend, could you and OH get down to London, a special birdy visitor is coming down ;)

    Happy Friday everyone :D
