    Friends staying for the weekend then a christening followed by a boozy reception in a hotel, followed by two incredibly stressful days at work have meant I have still - despite earlier good intentions - failed to have an alcohol free day. Monday & Tuesday I did only have 2 glasses of wine though rather than the entire bottle! Tonight! Yes Tonight I will not feel the need to drink alcohol!

    Good luck:D, it is such a hard thing to do, so don't beat yourself up about it

    17AF please Shaggy

    All going well for me at the moment, have gone 60 days now, so still undecided about how to go forward
    I have 2 social things arranged for the weekend, but will more than likely drive

    Also, still on the stoopid dating website, so hopefully can get a date :(

    Try going to an AA meeting.:)

    Lots of nice single guys whose partners have kicked them out because of their alcohol problems.:o

    Some methods A.A. members have used for not drinking.
