    Maman u are doing really well...go you!!


    Thanks cuppa. Can't pretend the fact I can't shift this cough isn't helping but I'll take the benefit. It makes up for my poor score last month due to holidays. I'm determined to try not to have a drink until I really fancy one not just because I can.


    14 AFDs please Shaggy.

    Hello Everyone,

    T'is a glorious day to be clear headed & then it suddenly struck me that 8/9 months ago I was waking up hungover EVERY single day and not getting up until noon then hurriedly adding in the gym, checking on some business, doing some admin then starting drinking again. All done under the guise of being sociable and civic minded. Achieved 2 hours at the gym this morning too including a cheeky Spin Class.
    Completed 10/29 AF already with tonight to add in tomorrow. Taking OH out for dinner but will drive.

    StopLurking your description of the weekend extension is me in Spades. I can also make a holiday last long after its done too by making every night a post-holiday occasion. Well done on getting your Mojo back.

    Nice to see so many people racking up big numbers. Hugs :-)

    ......had a drink last night, bottle of wine, and the a gin. Feel bad, beating myself up. This is what holidays do, they are escapism, not RL. As I was up at silly o'clock, I'm going to go to bed early. Hopefully better news tomorrow.

    Had a bottle of wine last night, stressed to the eyeballs, enjoyed it, but not waking up sweating, which I had got used to not having, and feeling groggy this morning, but OK today not even fancying a glass so something good has happened. Do I start again at 1 or just carry on so would be 10 ?
