    was doing well tonight until unexpected guests dropped in - now I feel distinctly squiffy - off to bed to start again!

    That can so easily happen at this time of the year. I had a bit of a wobble earlier, suddenly fancied a festive glass of ginger wine! But I resisted so all is well.

    I'm out for lunch with friends tomorrow. DH offered to drive me but I declined.;) I may have a single glass but at the moment fizzy water is the plan.

    6AFDs and 2 for the SNC please.

    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.

    Question for you all.... does a rather large cherry chocolate liqueur count as drinking??? If not I've achieved 11/10 AF
    What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?

    Thanks Mackeroo, i'm still here, doing ok on the AF front. Will achieve my target of 13/13 this evening, so then into bonus terriority like satchmo1.

    Please put me down for 13/13 target and 4/4 SNC.

    I know I won't drink tonight, in total its been 18 days straight (a PB), with hardly a temptation. I'm pleased but kind of wondering when i do have my next first drink, whether the stop button will be there or not!

    So who else hasn't posted recently, Markman?, Mari?, ONW? How are you all doing?
    Live for the moment and plan for the future

    :Ton your PB cuppa, good for you.;)

    satchmo totally agree that the chocolate doesn't count any more than coq au vin or steak and ale pie or sherry trifle!

    I managed another AF last night so

    7AFDs and 3 for the SNC please.
