    Morning all
    Off to Spain this weekend for my 50th boys weekend so there will definitely be alcohol involved.
    I don't want to give up alcohol I just want to significantly reduce the days I drink it.

    To that end I shall be back Monday trying for more AF days

    See you
    Monday ........ Ole

    What a lovely post thank you!

    I'm out of hospital.....would be lieing if I said i felt great!!

    But my god, facing mortality is an eye opener.

    This is your life folks!!! Make the choice if you want to spend it sober, drunk, or battling the urges. I chose sober. Best decision I ever made.

    Just a pre warning...as you know I usually say it how it is and this facet of me is in overdrive at the moment. ust stick me on ignore if you can't take me!

    Happy Days everyone!

    What 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.

    Hope she is back on her feet now!

    24 hours since I drank

    Pushing out the welcomewagon.gif for you. Hope all is still going to plan. Shout out if you would like to join the January monthly challenge - you can be target free - TF - or have a goal of a set number of days. Including yesterday that would be a maximum of 17.

    I'm on 3 bottles of wine per week. To be honest I feel p*ssed as a newt almost all the time, even on the days I don't drink. I've no idea how to stop this.

    And suddenly, today you have been AF for 24 hours!

    Also, I am curious how you only drink 3 bottles a week bearing in mind what you have written above.
