I also agree what you say about wondering why you enjoy a drink so much at weekends - I'm shattered today and I'm sure what booze I had has contributed to that! It's really about habit isn't it - our brain associating the weekend with enjoying ourselves, and that seems to equate to alcohol, as that's what we've brainwashed ourselves to think I guess? I wish I could just not WANT to drink, rather than feel like I'm giving something up. I think I am getting there, and hope by the end of the book that I'll have had some kind of epiphany!

Chardonnay - you are so right - I am definitely in the mindset of 'oh, it's Friday time to kick-back and enjoy a glass (or several) of wine' and then it carries on into Saturday & Sunday :eek: - it has become part of my routine and it is very difficult to break that cycle
Going to be AF today so declaring very early on 2/12 please shaggy 0 -
Morning :hello:
1 more AFD.
ShaggyxWhat do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.0 -
I'm a little bit wriggly with excitement as I've just had a call about being put forward for a job, at a decent salary, in exactly my area of experience. It's a little bit more of a commute than I would normally consider, but perfectly do-able. Fingers crossed, as I'm getting a bit agitated.

Hi All :hello:
I was proud of myself last night, just drank peppermint tea, DH came in around 10pm made himself a pizza & had a couple of beers, asked me if I wanted any & I said no. (I only drink beer etc when the wine has run out!) I put on 1lb at Slimming World last night so a big kick up the batty for me!
