I did manage my AF Friday:). Thanks all for the support. I missed it more in anticipation as I generally look forward to 'weekend starts here' from wine o'clock on Fridays. Once I'd got into the evening it was just like any other AF day. I may try it again.:eek:

Until I stopped drinking I had absolutely no idea how true this was.

21/30 please Shaggy, with many thanks for everything you do for the thread.

:T well done lucy. Just enough days left to get to target.:D


Strange that about anticipation HB. I hadn't really thought about it before. Now when I fancy an unplanned drink I'll just tell myself it's only the anticipation. I wonder if that would work?;)


No drinking today.


9 AFDs please Shaggy.

I've decided to come back here as I feel my drinking is getting a little bit out of control again.

I pretty much wasted all weekend through being too hungover to do anything and I probably made an idiot of myself when my friend came round on Saturday. She drove, so I drank all of the wine I bought for us both to have, yawn yawn.

I feel I've had issues with drink for a while now. If I make the decision to not drink and stick to it (which is the hard bit), I'm fine, but once I open the wine... well that's it.

I've had 7 days AF so far this month and I want to try and give up for a while. I don't want to set a limit on it and say I'll never drink again, but if I give myself little targets, then it might work.

Is saying I won't drink for the rest of November too much to think about? Probably. Now that I've said it, I'm already thinking about the wine I won't be having tonight with my dinner and beyond.
