Sorry it won't let me do colour for some reason...!


I have been reading Chardonnay's fantastic journey in her diary and although I don't want to give up drinking, I must cut down so thought it was time to come back over here.. Hope you will have me..!

Never too late to join puzz. Better to get 5 under your belt than wait until next month.:)

I had very odd experience on Friday. I've been aware for quite some time that I've been a bit gleeful about not writing off days because I had a hangover. What shocked me on Friday was that 238 days after stopping boozing, I still find myself trying to factor out the days when I know I won't achieve anything because old habits taught me I didn't do anything on those day. That's pretty much eight months of still being stuck with a habitual thought due to booze.


It just goes to show how ingrained the drinking was as a part of my life and the amount of time I've wasted over the years on feeling grim. Just wanted to put that out there, because it's been bothering me since Friday.

Nothing wrong with gleeful about your achievements HB but I do understand what you're saying. Last Friday evening it occurred to me that I hadn't thought about drinking all day. On the plus side, I've achieved moderate drinking, no hangovers and reaching my ideal weight along the way but I still seem to look forward to the drinking days.For years and years I've had a good feeling almost as soon as I wake up on Friday of 'it's the weekend I can drink tonight'! I think (after about 4 years!:eek:) I may be getting to a take it or leave it point.


I'm a bit slow getting back on the wagon this week. I went to an event last night and had a single gin. I did enjoy it but probably no more than the plain tonic that followed.:)


Definitely AF today.


9 AFDs please Shaggy.
