Hi all.


Basically - 12/21 days not including tonight yet ..


It really helps listening to everyone's journeys. I have a slight confession - after deciding to go AF I slipped up on Friday night and had 3 G and Ts. I have been AF free again since then but am tempted tonight if the weather holds. I have got an appraisal at work tomo which also might be pushing me in that direction. I'll see. Last week I managed ok at home but out 'on the town' with the OH was really difficult. I started out with just a tonic water but all I could think was "I'm not drinking alcohol and I really want to".


Anyway, good news is that I stopped at the 3 G&Ts and didn't have wine back at OH's which is a killer for me. So I probably consumed less alcohol last week than I have done for about 7 years. ( I managed to give up for about 12 weeks back then). Another plus note is I've tried out a recipe for an AF mojito (with ginger ale, apple juice, mint and lime) and it's very drinkable with a healthy sort of 'kick' feeling to it.


So onwards and ... sideways?!

If you set a target of 21 for the month then you must have planned some drinking days. Personally I find it easier to stay in control if I choose the drinking days in advance (like weekends or meals out with friends) but if you want to use them up when the fancy takes you then why not? I reckon you have about 5 left before the end of the month.


Personally I think I'd prefer to look forward to a drink after the appraisal but it's your choice.
