    9/19 for tonight please.

    OH has cut down from nightly drinking to only drinking Friday, Saturday and Sunday whereas I'm normally just Friday and Saturday now. Even on those nights, I drink loads less than I used to. OH would drink every night if I encouraged him by drinking. He keeps saying that he'll give up the Sunday but he doesn't. I try and stick to SNC where possible.

    I've started to get emails for Dry January 2015. That's how I started on here this year. I'd got into the habit of almost daily drinking prior to that. It was the kick start I needed to rethink my drinking.

    I'm planning on doing Dry January again next year. Is anyone else?

    All things being equal, I'm planning on a Dry January if you'd like some local company, Debjay.
    Better is good enough.

    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.

    Another for me today. This month will be tight as lots of socialising going on where (moderate;)) drinking will feature but I'm determined to reach my target.


    7 AFDs please Shaggy.
