    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.

    7/8 please Shaggy, I don't think I'm going to make 8 for May but I'm actually very pleased to have had 7 'dry days'; wouldn't have happened before. I would like to set a target of 9 for June please.

    Please can I ask how people cope after a really bad week at work when all that solves the problem is 2 bottles of wine
    It has been a really bad week and I do want to cut back but it feels like the only way I can sleep is if I drink
    I know this is the cutting down thread so how did you guys do it
    Thanks

    Dh has been admitted to hosp so all (well most) thoughts of wine are gone.

    newroadahead I am probably not going to be of much help...

    To help you sleep try a white noise video (try you tube)
    Get yourself some other treats in
    Promise yourself if you cut down to one bottle you will give yourself a treat?
    Drink a pint of water between each glass of wine?
