8/14 tonight so that is the longest I've been without alcohol in about 10 years :j. I have been to the pub tonight but as I only had 62p left from my weekly spend challenge it wasn't too hard to just sit and chat. Phew!Proud to be dealing with my debts!

Well, didn't drink last night and heading to bed shortly so I will confidently state that including tonight I am 20 AF so far this month!:rotfl:
Easy this month despite being very difficult over a great many other months.
Went to Makro today with the neighbours. I was disturbed by the surge of excitement I felt when I hit the alcohol area and saw bargain prices for Peroni Beers, top notch Champagnes & fine wines!
Resisted the urge to fill my cart and stay sensible in terms of purchases.
Hope all well with you all.

Currently craving a drink and after moaning to Mrs. K. I've decided to read a few posts on here instead.

Hello everyone,
Some great achievements on here over the last few days - I want the pumpkin one too but I got thrown off track last night- friends came round unexpectedly and brought a bottle of my favourite wine and I couldn't resist :mad:. It was lovely to see them though
.
Must try and catch up this evening and although Thursday is normally an allowed drinking day for me I will try and refrain
Have a great day all0 -
Reporting in for tonight as dinner is over and I'm safely on the camomile tea! Hubby is on board too, so that's a great help. That makes it 5/10Sick and tired of waking up sick and tired...
