    Hi all, just caught up on the thread. Not many AF days to report . But i am today so that is 1 more AF please shaggy.
    I'm aiming to do the SNC for myself this week. Monday will be ok but I know Tuesday will be a wobbly one. Friday I am out with the girls so will be drinking then, but sensibly. I've hate hangovers and know my limits, which are less than before since cutting down.

    I hope everyone has a successful week!!
    Live for the moment and plan for the future

    Very proud of myself this weekend - hada girly night with 8 of my friends last night - we all got Chinese and played on the Wii. A few of them drank and 3 of us didn't - last night was this week's big test! It was quite easy to be honest, although I wasn't my relaxed usual self as I was conscious of the neighbours hearing all the noise from the drinkers who were slowly getting louder and louder! Had a good night though and enjoyed myself!

    So last night was number 13 (in a row) and today is number 14 in a row!

    Feeling positive!!
    Next weeks test will be Saturday night as we are at a party and I know I'll be tempted. But I'm going to stay positive and worry about Saturday when it comes around!!

    19/31 AFDs tonight, but I am so grumpy tonight. I was out at a church meeting from 6pm until 7:30 and had prepared most of dinner before I went, leaving it simmering. DH decided to interfere and turn off the heat (to be fair the recipe said 45 minutes cooking time) but it wasn't cooked. I'm a grouch when I'm hungry at the best of times. I hurried things along as fast as I could, and served up dinner. After we'd eaten, and taken the dishes to the kitchen, DH just walked off and left me to clear up. GRRRRRR.
    What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?
  • 15 AF days to report including tonight.
    Enjoyed my alcohol free wine tonight, it's a bit pricey though, may try the apple juice and soda that seems so popular.
  • 19/31 today please.

    This has definitely been the hardest weekend so far. Mustn't wish the month away....
