The Giving Up/ Cutting Down alcohol support thread - number 12

Well done Jak, I have missed our little chats, I am so proud of you and Happy Birthday. Graeme you are so right, keep it in the day, one day at a time. Barney hope your date goes great, I will be keeping my fingers crossed for you. I have 2AF/31 to report, last night there was a bottle of Pinot Grigio on the worktop looking at me that the OH had put in the bolognese, and I resisted, thinking how awful it tasted as I dont really like wine I just drink for the tranquilising effect.
Have a great Sunday everyone, thanks for the daffodils as I am Welsh, mine havent opened yet tut, usually they are early but this year no, I'm glad really as I will have them longer.

morning everyone
No Af to report for March so far, but as both Fri and Sat were planned drinking days not overly worried. Been busy in the kitchen this morning, made soup, stew, and blueberry pancakes. Planning on making some meringues later on as well. Thats my ideal Sunday, baking and cooking.
:bdaycake:Wishing you a very happy birthday Jak

I also love the daffodils from Shaggy this morning, i have 2 vases in my kitchen filled with them, not from garden tho, sainsburs finest lol

A bit late in the day 41 but these are for you! I'm Welsh too and my daffs haven't come out in the garden yet either but I've got a bunch in my kitchen and another in the dining room.

Like mackeroo I've got no AF days to report yet, it always happens when beginning of month falls at the weekend but I'll be back on the wagon tomorrow.

Happy Birthday from me too jak. Sounds like you have a good day planned and :Ton your 60 day medal (and you too GP;)).

Enjoy Sunday all.:)

Diolch (thankyou) Maman for the daffs for taffs lol. Jak hope you have had a lovely day, Mrs Dee well done on your progress, mackeroo lovely to read your post, Tracey well done on 1st AF day of March, looking forward to hearing that you have been 60 days AF tomorrow satchmo (NO PRESSURE).
3 AF days so far the 31st seems so far away, but I'm taking it easy, one day at a time, and keeping it in the present and now.

Well I said I'd send a longer post at the weekend, so here goes!

Aiming for 28 AFD for March after spending the first three days of it non-AF... Spent a long weekend visiting a couple of good friends and trying out their home brew. I explained that I was cutting back on the booze, but that I was happy to be a guinea pig for their latest concoctions. Their pumpkin wine had a certain kick to it, but I wasn't sure how much of that was due to the fact that I hadn't had a drop of alcohol for a while. It might also have been because it was made from pumpkin...

Disappointing weigh-in and debt stats on Friday, but could have been a lot worse. Very much looking forward to knocking the figures under 80kg and £20k this month.

3rd AFD of March, went to pub quiz tonight and had two diet cokes. Aiming for full SNC this week too.
