9 AF for me please

Maman I know what you mean about enjoying mondays off the pop now. That is a major move for me, I used to dread my planned AF days i also agree its enjoyable for me to have a drink at the weekend. Sunday I did go a bit too far though so thick head made yesterday a lot easier. My next goal is to control my drinking days a wee bit more. Out for lunch today which will include a glass of wine but does not need to include a night full of drinking as well.

Well done legsand on your posh fizzy water

Morning everyone. I have really enjoyed reading the recent posts. So many wise words, so many feelings I can relate to.

Last night was my first night off and at home with my boyfriend. I had two small glasses of wine with dinner. Think he had two or three. There is a third of a bottle left instead of none. So if we want some later we can finish that rather than opening a new one (and finishing that one!). I'm not planning to drink tonight and am going to go out today to buy some nice soft drinks.

I think cutting down is definitely the realistic way to go. Ooh, I'm going to find out recommended limits and try to stick to that. It's a limit though, not a target!

Have a good day everyone.

Morning all.

I went in several bars over the weekend & managed to stick to soft drinks the whole time. My friends did offer me drinks to begin with but were very understanding when i explained.

So upto yesterday 10 days in a row without a drink, & a total of 14 AFDs.

Hope everyone else is doing ok.

I find the odd hung-over feeling helps me remember why I don't want to drink every night any more ntc so you can find positives in most things;). We've just decided (unexpectedly) to go out for lunch and I'm toying with the idea of fizzy water. Hope I'll be back later with good news.

Well I've messed up the SNC, dad offered to take me and OH out for dinner last night to cheer us up, ended up having a couple of drinks but didn't have anything when I came home. Still, there's always today, and I'm still toying with the idea of not drinking until I go to a festival on 25th.

Struggling here a bit tonight, I am really out of the AF way of things after my boozy summer. I'm thinking of going to bed early to avoid the bells!
