Thanks for the support lovely peeps. I've decided enough is enough and that IF I drink, I will limit it to ONE glass from now on. I'm not sure how successful this plan will be but I am still annoyed about getting a hangover this weekend.

An AFD today, as the open wine I thought I had in the fridge, had been left out while we were away over the weekend and had turned into expensive vinegar. Good. I indulged in a few hand-made choccies (a suggestion made to me on this thread) instead, which were delicious! Ah well, the diet starts tomorrow...

I think this makes me 6/20.

Shaggy, would you mind removing my 3 total please as I am not going to count whilst I am attempting this other way of cutting down/giving up At least not for now.

Thank you

No worries.

I could create another challenge - maybe call it ALD (alcohol low day) where you set a daily limit for yourself and you count up the days you match or are lower than that limit. Makes sense in many ways, as government guidelines are actually daily these days rather than weekly.

I could post it under the challenge for AFDs - in practice run two challenges.

I might even join you.

14/31 Just. Interview for new job not great - left all prep work/questions at home on dining room table. Grrrr. Just as well I didn't - disulferam would have made me violently sick!

I've always thought that there's more than one way to cut down fruball. AF days are a good test of will power for me but I'm also pleased if I have less on a drinking day too. It was always my fear that I'd just use my drinking days to play catch up (i.e. drink the same as before concentrated into the weekend) but that hasn't happened fortunately. So although my targets are low I know I've genuinely cut down. Counting units is another variation on the same theme.


Yesterday was a case in point. I went out for lunch had one planned glass of wine and didn't carry on in the evening. I had a cup of tea from choice.:)


Back on it today.


3 AFDs please Shaggy.

Hope the interview went brilliantly FBO, and well done on staying AF.


I know what you mean, Maman, about concentrating one's weekly drinking into 2 days (at the weekend) and I'm glad to say I haven't done that - although my Saturday drinking has been too liberal several times recently.
