  • Evening all. AF again here tonight, making 12 please Shaggy and 3 SNC please Bearacus.

    Still feeling rotten but have kept myself busy whilst DH was watching the football. Usually I'd take myself off to the pub to get away from it, instead I went out to get some more cold remedies, then prepared a lovely SW friendly lasange for tomorrow night. Off to bed soon so I can give work my germs again tomorrow :D

    Is it better to fail a SNC or change your target? Aaah - decisions, decisions. I went for the full monty this week even though we're going out tonight. I was planning to drive but my DH has just come in and said he's booked a taxi so we can "both enjoy ourselves". He hasn't noticed I'm drinking less ( I know :/ ) at home but will if we're out. I don't want a row on a night out - he gets very upset if I talk about my drinking. Also I feel quite low and REALLY want a drink.

    I wouldn't blame you having a drink with your DH gardenanna. Hope you had a good night. On the general question, I usually hedge my bets by aiming low with my target so I can comfortably meet it and then if I exceed it I'm delighted.

    13 AFDs for November and 3 for the SNC please.

    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.

    Hi all,
    Fell off the wagon since coming back from holiday have slipt back to drinking everyday not nearly as much as I was only a couple of glasses a night but still and at the moment im not in the frame of mind to want to stop.

    So if its alright with you all if I can still post on the board everyday so atleast I will be thinking about how much drinking I am doing..


    Thanks

    Legsxx
