    I wobbled a bit tonight for the first time in 9 days. I didn't cave but ive been munching a lot tonight. Ive been trying to work out the reasoning for my tuesday wobble.

    The first wine thought crossed my mind as i parked the car on the driveway. It was 5.30pm and i was tired and hungry.. habit. I got on with jobs and ate a snack whilst i sorted kids out etc. Poured myself an oj and tonic, i wanted something fizzy. By 6.30pm we'd eaten and I'd tidied away and most chores were done. The craving had passed as i was full from my dinner. Ive eaten quite a lot of sugar this eve, i guess thats replacing wine. Although up until tonight i haven't had to do distraction, replacement or analysing. Im not sure if I'd had wine in the house if it would be a different outcome.
    Live for the moment and plan for the future
  • Thanks so much to everyone and your encouragement! It's been so helpful to see that other people have been where I am and are now doing so well. That gives me a lot of hope.
    Reporting in 4/10 AF days tonight. And I must admit that compared to where I have been, this is good for me as I am a very regular drinker and would hardly miss a night in the past. I also know that as long as I keep reporting in, that is good for me even if I am not doing well on the AF side of things.
    Thanks all of you ever so much x

    AF last night, and no plans to drink tonight, so calling 5/23 for tonight please Shaggy

    There are only another 20 days in January after that and I need 18 to make target, which seems unlikely. Still , it's already more days AF than I've achieved for months so I'll see where I end up.
