    flimsier - well done on 57 days :T that's brilliant!! Are you working to a goal or just taking it one day at a time?

    No goal; I'm pretty stunned I've made it this far! I will drink again, but this is the longest dry spell since I started drinking (by some very considerable distance; probably my previous best was about 10 days when sick!)
    Can we just take it as read I didn't mean to offend you?

    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.

    I reckon that's only slightly more than my average when I'm on it.
    Isn't a bottle of wine 10 units? I'm confused!
    Anyway, what are you going to do with this information?
    Can we just take it as read I didn't mean to offend you?

    Evening to you all,

    Bells ringing loud here

    AF FOR ME TONIGHT SHAGGY

    Just put my ear plugs in.

    Well done on 57 days flimsier.


    Mrs R I wasnt far of that amount of wine in a week, :eek: I have to say I never even thought about how much it was costing me. Wishing you luck.

    Hope you all have a good evening

  • Hello! Newbie shuffling in :)
    I would like to be af in the week please. I had trained myself to do that and was doing really well then we went to a wedding on Oct 8th and I have just realised I've drunk every day since then *oops* I'm off to work in a minute until about 10pm so will be ignoring the lure of the (open in the kitchen) wine tonight.
    Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.

  • :hello: to the newbies and all.
