    That is another AF night for me taking me to a splendid 10 AF nights for March so far. Off to NYC for weekend so that will be cocktail bars with panoramic views & trendy westside restaurants and more bars! If I can control my drinking when I don't have social functions then I can carry on drinking socially when I do! Keeping a lid on it has always been the problem

    Have a good weekend everyone!

    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.

    2AF yippee!

    I managed another AF yesterday - go me. Bit tough last night - kept finding my thoughts returning to "oh go on just one drink". But battled through and had an orange instead:rotfl:

    Busy evening tonight so hopefully the little drink demons will stay well away.

    Have a good day everybody.

    Morning All :(

    No AF night for me last night, gave in to my wine with my wee programme :(.

    I have now told DH I am cutting out through the week completely, aiming for AFD #3 tonight.

    I bounced out of bed like tigger. What a great start to the day. Watched 666 Park Avenue on catch-up, won about 50-60p on free bingo, made the kids a really nice breakfast which my son wasted tut. Kids ready for school, had a cup of decaf tea and I'm still early for school, only bad point son 6 year old having a tantrum he is so spoilt my fault, crying over nothing again, pushing boundaries, and controlling like his dad. I will be 4 weeks sober tomorrow as my last drink Valentines night. Wish me luck, I feel so much better, honestly, I never knew that I would have so much energy, now when my alarm goes off at 6.30am I lie in bed cuddling my son, and by 7am I've got to get up because I am actually awake. Before I used to press snooze about 10 times and even then I had to drag myself out of bed.
    So hopefully by tomorrow I will be 4 weeks sober and only drank for 5 days of 2013 every single unit a waste, and cant think of one of those days where I can say I had a great time, most of the time I just had a couple and then thanks to this thread managed to stop or picked the lower percentages. Thank you all I feel so grateful to all the posters, every single one of them has helped me, even the ones I initially didnt agree with.
