Another saturday night with knitting and camomile tea

I'm going to my mum's for a family birthday lunch today. I will be driving and not drinking, so am calling in very early with 12/31 please Shaggy

PriceySOS

8 please, Shaggy, thanks

Very pleased that I managed an AF last night - took huge amount of willpower though, although helped by the fact that it was DD2's last Saturday night at home before back to uni :cool:

AlexLK

Didn't manage AF last night either. However, I do not expect to on a Saturday.

Green_Karen

Up to 8/25 AF days.

And do I ever wish I hadn't drank last night, feel like I am coming down with something also. But we have an office to finish a complete decoration of this weekend as the carpet is fitted tomorrow (thought the pressure would make us get on with it!).

Why oh why do I ever drink?

WantToBeSE

Thank You for the kind words of support everyone. Jumping straight back on the wagon as of right this second

Barny1979

Back on it today, 11/31 AFDs today

Thank goodness for that!! I WILL meet (and beat I hope) my target!!

I had some wine last night but really didn't enjoy it (a French Sauvignon rather than NZ or Chilean for those interested). Ended up making a mug of tea instead and kept the wine for today's gravy. Hope you approve!:money:

I'm still only on 2 a/f this year Jo but I'm not allowing myself to see it as failure. We are 'work in progress'.

I'm toying with the idea of trying a slowly cutting down plan since my success at total abstinence hasn't exactly been the best. It might take a few months to get down to a/f but at least each day will be a step in the right direction.

Again this is experimental I have no idea how successful it will be but if I can do it my confidence will surely grow over the weeks.

For some, cutting down is a great way to stop drinking. Unfortunately it didn't work for me - I have to drink to excess which I have done the last 2 nights resulting in me feeling absolutely dreadful today and, surprise surprise, I have got nothing done. I will be AF tonight though so I have finally reached the first milestone of 7/18 please Shaggy. I am hoping to complete a full SNC week which starts tonight and for me, ends on Thursday... I've not managed it yet but that doesn't mean I never will.... and who knows.... perhaps this will be the week

Another failure this weekend...why am i bothering??

I sometimes think that but then I have a lovely AF day, wake up feeling so much healthier and remember why I am doing this! I want to feel like that every single day
