  • Thanks maman, I'll see how I feel at the end of this month. At the moment I'm 50% loving the clear head/skin, abs 50% counting down the days until I can have a glass of wine. But on analysing those thoughts I'm worried about why I want that wine so much. I'm not planning on cutting it out completely, but while I want it so much I feel like I should stop myself. If that makes sense?!

    I went for a run earlier and feel like I'm getting a cold now, (apparently this is a thing with me, every run makes me feel ill) so I'll declare early for tonight. 16/31 please shaggy. Half way there. :D

    16/31 please. Lots of us seem to be very similar; I,like Maman and Fakeplastictwee (which I have read a few times without the second t - couldn't work that out at all:rotfl: ) want to drink consciously, not be planning a glass of wine on the way home and to drink less when I do have a drink. I'd like to have wine at weekends and enjoy it. I found this last weekend quite hard, but some of it is to do with ritual and enjoyment.

    I bought some more AF wine, can't work out why AF beer can taste very similar to beer with alcohol but the wine is awful. Think I have now tried most makes so this time I will give up looking for AF wine. I'd like to get to 1st Feb, when I know I will be away with work and be able to think, no I will wait until Friday. Wish me luck and good luck to everyone else too.

    You're not the first, and I doubt the last, to think it says fake plastic wee :rotfl:
