6/10 AF days tonight, back to it after a boozy weekend. Just away in hotel room and can't be bothered to go down and get a drink so on the fizzy water!

6/10 for me please Shaggy, even though I was out for dinner tonight.
I'm planning another one tomorrow.

Finally resolved computer issues. Not drunk for all of December so far. So I'm really pleased. Especially as I'm on holiday now and I could have a drink because I would have the next day to recover. Eaten A LOT of chocolate instead.
20/31for me please Shaggy.

Oh dear. Dizzy has been on the naughty step for a few days.

I. Opened. The. Disaronno. :eek:

I. Love. Amaretto...

I have been very good though and just had a glass on each occasion (and no, not the same glass refilled!) I need to work out how many AFDs I've had since I last posted. It is some, promise!

Back later x

Naughty, naughty Dizzy! I hope you thoroughly enjoyed your naughtiness.

Well, that's a novel way to cut down - being too tired to want to go downstairs. Love it.

I think when we can get to the point of not drinking when socialising we're definitely on the way to being in control of our drinking.

It was the thought of not being able to drink when out with friends our celebrating that kept me drinking for a long time after I sort of knew I had to cut it out altoghter. Now that I think about it, it was about 10 years. Wow.

20/31 please, Shaggy.

I've not been calling in early this month as our arrangements are fairly fluid. DH was out with friends last night but fortunately partners weren't expected so I had an AF Monday.


9 AFDs please Shaggy


Today is a drinking day. It's DD1's birthday so they're coming round for a meal.


Like you eltee, I'm hoping to get to target before Christmas so any extra days before New Year will be a bonus.:xmassmile

Declaring early so fingers crossed for 11/16 please . I should have had an AFD yesterday but a big row - still barely speaking - meant I poured a sherry, then another and drank wine too! Annoyed with myself today, not because I feel unwell but will now struggle to achieve end of month target and also thought I had got better at this emotional response = alcohol. Clearly more practice required! Hoping now not to drink until Thursday and possibly Friday but we have so many family arrangements next week, a birthday too not sure where other days will come from without being asked questions! Roll on dry January!

12/15 for tonight please.
