The Giving Up/ Cutting Down alcohol support thread - number 11

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!

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
