    "I did think of having a drink earlier, even got a bottle from the fridge, then put it back!"

    Well done, Maman!
    What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?

    Right today is the day! Having lurked about for too long its time I faced up to the fact that I drink too much and it needs controlling. I can remember a time when the kids were young that drink didn't bother me and I could take or leave it I want to get back to that the last 5 years have just been a blur!! Please put me down for 10 AF days for August and wish me luck!

    welcomewagon.gif You're on the list and Good Luck!

    22/27 AFDs for me. Praying for good news for my brother, as the consultant hinted that way. Should know over the weekend.

    Feel for you Satchmo - that is pure torture. :(

    Shaggy - could you correct my name in the list. I'm used to people getting it wrong, but I know when I signed up here years ago there was already a Jools and a Joolz which is why I ended up being JoolzS. I'd hate for someone to do a search on here for whatever reason and mistake me for someone else as this can be such a sensitive subject. I'm happy to be called Joolz, or Jools, in the thread, but I'd like to be "me" on the list. I hope this doesn't sound too picky.

    No worries and sorted.

    Day 2 didn't go so well. Usual wine and munchies, followed by lack of sleep and more munchies. Look and feel rubbish today.

    30 AFDs for July.

    Looking forward to having drinks over the weekend. I have some nice ales in the fridge and two bottles of red wine bought from Laithwaite's that I really enjoy. Will be good to enjoy them over the next few weeks.

    For August I'll set a target of 22 as I intend drinking at weekends if I feel like it (rather than just for the sake of it).
