    Hi all, have read a few pages and would like to joint your club. Have had a drink nearly every night for the last 6 years (after a trauma of the personal kind) and feel like i need a break, I love wine and am so proud of myself as i didn't have one last night and got up this morning feeling great. I only every had a couple a night so not like i was downing bottles and bottles but its a hard habbit to break. Met a friend today and she had a prosecco (my fav) and i had diet coke (pat on the back) and don't feel all tired and fuzzy headed. Hoping to keep on this board as i think it will help with the boredom in the evenings and love reading everyones stories.

    Welcome anita and:Ton your first AF day.

    Our lovely scorer Shaggy is on holiday at the moment but if you just keep posting your total she'll catch up when she gets back. Usually we have a daily post like a star chart for grown ups!

    I'm back on the wagon tonight after a rather longer weekend than usual.:o
