    I had an AF Friday too

    Well done darwins mum - I always drank wine on a Friday night without fail and for the last year or more I haven't - its great! I never thought I'd break that habit and I never saw the reason why I should. Now I drink a couple of times a month only - it can be done!

    Welcome to the wideawake club!
    Thanks for your kind words, having the self restraint to only drink a couple of times a month is laudable, and something I thought I could do. I know one drink is never enough, so shall stay away all together.
    Have a great day

    Morning :hello:

    I had a bit of a lie in this morning! I also managed an AF Friday night and there were no bells so it was most enjoyable:)

    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.

    Morning all, last night was the first friday night in as far back as I can remember where I didnt consume a bottle of wine, today is the first saturday in years where I have not woken with a sandpaper mouth and thumping head!
    I have done my first week alcohol free!
    Today I give thanks for all of the support that I have received on my journey so far.
    Have a great day y'all, let the sun continue to shine on you.

    This Wide Awake Member is dressed and 1st washload has been pegged out, 2nd one almost ready! Might do some ironing while watching a Harry Potter film with kids! Crikey, what a contrast!
