I'm on 5/16 please Shaggy. Not AF tonight or Saturday.

Got some great sofas delivered today from ebay so feeling very MSE. BUT they show up my shabby carpet now!

Best to everyone and hope you all get where you want to be. I can very much relate to the s*d it moments.

Failed last night, 1/2 a bottle of wine and 3 small stumpy beers, I stopped myself before i had another, and drank a load of water , have a nasty headache this morning. I should have stopped after the 1/2 bottle ..like any sane person would have, but i had to continue , didn't I ?! Guess it could have been worse, ho hum, a new day , a new start, draw a line and make today count. Have a good weekend all xx

6/21 please.
Went to family quiz thing last night , at cub scouts, Take your own refreshments, everyone had a whole bottle of wine each. I drank lemonade with my son. Amazing what you see in other people when they are drunk, and that's me? Yikes! Lovely clear headed and positive. Have a great sunday and hugs to all xx

11/20 AFDs so far, although not last night which was unrestrained (ouch). The danger of living 100 yards from a supermarket once the first bottle of wine slipped down easily between DH and me...

I come seeking penance and support.

I had a "treat day" on Friday as I had a half day. I bought a bottle of wine, bar of chocolate and a bottle of soda water...and it ALL went the same night.

Yesterday instead of buying wine for my night in with my pal (a planned night of imbibing) - I bought a little 12 pack of mini beers. Of course 6 of those went before I reached my friend's house, I drank 2 at my friend's, she had 2 and I have 2 left staring at me.

I woke up this morning, and just felt like I had slipped back into an old habit. It's easy when the alcohol is in the house to just have a glass, or two, or half a bottle, or the whole thing...before you even know it.

Yet I can go weeks without alcohol, then I get a craving and give in. It doesn't help I live next door to an off license and when I am emotional I go and get a bottle of wine to cheer me up - not that often I hasten to add, but enough to be noticeable to me.

I need to grow a backbone and keep chanting NO to myself.

I'm ashamed to say that tonight I've had a s*d it occasion and succumbed to DH's offer of wine (not that I needed much persuading) and my only excuse was a difficult work conversation I'd had earlier.



I'll adjust my totals accordingly.:o


Must do better.

I've not been AF the last 2 days but determined to today. Declaring 13/25 early to avoid temptation later.


Not sure if I'll meet my target this month now. I'll go away and do some counting.
