Up to 6/12 today, yay!
Drank yesterday even though I said I wouldn't Sunday to Thursday. There wasn't even any reason for it really. I bought two bottles and when I bought them, I had every intention of just putting them in the fridge and saving them for the weekend, and then I caved.
Only had one and the other one is still in the fridge. A challenge for me appears to be just having alcohol in the house and not drinking it.
But hey ho. The old me would be swigging the other bottle tonight, but just because I drank yesterday, doesn't mean that I have to tonight.
If I'm being really good, I could avoid wine again tomorrow, but we shall see how I am tomorrow. Still better than I was, that's what I gotta keep telling myself.
I'm up to 50 days this year. In 2014, I only managed 49 for the whole year! Obviously a bad time in my life for me.Pink Sproglettes born 2008 and 2010
