    I've failed miserably since I last posted, had a drink every evening. :o

    You can do it again! :)

    Check in on the forum everyday and it helps motivate & if you can last until 8pm there is no point starting then. Then there is the evening walks! :rotfl:

    Chin up Buddy - keep going!

    Thanks, I'll get there. :)

    Fortunately, the drinking has mainly been social but I did underestimate just how many excuses I'd have because of Christmas coming up - gone back to wine with dinner every evening.

    Whilst I agree regarding the 8pm rule, I have been known to start at midnight before, because I'd declared an AF day on here and technically midnight is tomorrow!

    There is a post on my blog that I want everyone here to read.

    Could someone pm Graeme and let him know the score. I'd love him on side.

    IMO there's a big difference between a social glass with dinner and trying to 'self medicate' with a drink after midnight. Add Horlicks to your shopping list!:rotfl:

    Hi all

    10/16 AFDs so far. I'm heading out for my birthday tonight (it's my 40th), I will have a few drinks but I can't face ringing in my 40s with a hangover and depression. I promise to come back on here tomorrow with no depressive stories:D.
