    The 2 year thing is really interesting. It must be the way our bodies work.

    I'd agree it does take an age to get to a 'take it or leave it' situation but for those disheartened by the idea of two years AFness does get easier day by day.

    I was pleased with myself yesterday as I started my (planned)wine at 4.30 when cooking. It was early for me but I reasoned if I'd have gone out for lunch I'd have started even earlier.:o What was good that mid-evening I realised I'd had enough before even finishing a bottle and made a mug of tea.

    Back on the wagon tonight.

    Snowing/sleeting here (South Coast) too but far too wet for anything to stick.

    Hi please can you put me down for 3 SNC? I aim to be AF Mon/Tues/Weds and will have a drink or two on Thursday as it's valentine's day and I see OH has put a bottle of prosecco in the fridge already... bless.

    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.
