Hi grassgirl, just noticed you're in Worcester. I'm in Worcester too!Hope the match is good tonight - they're showing it on BT Sport so we're going to watch it on there - fingers crossed for a great result - I can imagine the celebrations if they manage a win!
Just counted up and I'm now on 13/21. I'm not sure I'm going to meet my target now with Christmas just around the corner, but I'm still pleased with how I'm managing to moderate. One of the drinking days just involved sharing one bottle of wine with two friends, the other going to the pub with OH and having two 175ml glasses of wine and I just had one 175ml glass of red wine last night because I fancied it! My problem has always been in moderating my drinking once I start, rather than needing to drink every day so I'm pleased with how it's going0 -
