Morning Everyone

Just home from a 06.30 Spin Class. Going on holiday in a month so need to look hot for my shorts.

PT session booked in later too. FML!!

Hope you are all winning little battles in big wars. Feeling happy & blessed today. Don't know if it is the endorphin release at Spin thats done it but for now feeling great and AF.

Hugs

Morning all! 5/15 for me today please

maman

So pleased Saturday went well for you MP although a pretty poor show that no AF beers were available. That was quite an achievement to drink and still be in control. Well done!:T Sounds like you'll have that beach body ready in no time.;)


Incidentally, how is your DH doing?

Thanks mackeroo. I'm hoping today will be the start of a better week. Definitely not drinking today though, always like to get off to a good start on a Monday.


11 AFDs please Shaggy.

Thank you Maman. It wasn't so much that I stayed in control, it was more that I started later & our car to collect us at Midnight arrived early and I ran out of opportunity. I'm viewing this as a complete fluke rather than a mini triumph with my drinking. So many times I've successfully navigated through something where it could have been disastrous & I think I'm in control. Then, 2 weeks later i'm in another mess of my own (& alcohols) creation. Thankfully, all I can see ahead of me are social engagements where I can take the car or won't feel socially awkward & want to drink.

OH still drinking. Has occasional day off. Never gets into the states I do and doesn't get hangovers. I've stopped nagging based on advice you all gave me on here.

Hi all.


Thinking of everyone. I know a few have had difficult weekends and I think just even having the guts to be on this thread is some sort of victory, so "big up" to us all, is what I say.


On that note I have not actually done very well, had massive binge/s last week and have decided that attempting AF is the only way forward. As of tonight I will be 7 AF days but the other ones were disasters. Let's just say that if I keep this up I'm at risk of ruining my relationship with my OH (of 2 years, not living together) not to mention myself in so many ways. I am now off to the supermarket to stock up on loads of AF drinks ingredients to make mocktails - even though it is the least summery day ever. Wishing everyone love and luck xx
