    I have an AF Saturday and Sunday to report. I'm doing a 6km run at the weekend so Ishan't be drinking this week at all.
    Trying to keep in budget.

    An AF weekend, gien that's great. Same for you too chocolatecupcake (and you to anatonic if you're lurking).

    Not an AF weekend here as I've been to a family wedding (second weekend running). I am pleased to report that I think I've officially found my stop button:D Both weekends I've had wine with the meal, champagne with the toast and then virtually nothing after that. No hangovers, no embarassing behaviour. All good.:D

    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.

    Well done to Mackeroo and Maman last week, love the positive stuff about finding your stop buttons for socialising - you've both come a long way!
