AF yesterday so 4 for SNC and 1 for Dec challenge. Needless to say I am not AF this evening
. Almost as soon as I took my coat off this evening I had poured myself a glass of wine and heaved a sigh of relief. I have an almost Pavlonian reaction to the end of the week - Alcohol! Don't get me wrong I've come a long way in the last couple of months; it used to be that I would automatically pour a glass every evening when I got in from work; the SNC and this thread makes me think. I wish the big A didn't have such power over me though
. Is there ever really going to be a time when I can take it or leave it?

My husband is exactly the same it's entirely normal for him to drink well over a bottle of wine each evening (plus beer if there's sport on the tv, for some reason he needs to have a pint in his hand if he's watching a match). It would be so much easier to cut down if there wasn't so much alcohol in the house because he can't cope without knowing that he won't run out. Do you think women with an alcohol problem are attracted to heavy drinkers?0 -
It’s not what you have in your life but who you have in your life that counts0

ShaggyxWhat 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.0 -
