    Not an AFD or even ALD yesterday as it was my birthday, but tonight just the one glass of red wine (from an opened but unfinished bottle - that would NEVER have happened before joining this thread) snuggled up on the sofa...

    16/21 for me please Shaggy x

    Oh dear :( Feeling rubbish this morning. Been awake on and off throughout the night. First sweaty and hot, then cold etc. etc.

    DH worked late yesterday and arrived home with kebabs for us all. Cue me opening a bottle of red wine. And drinking the lot. :eek: I deliberately ignored my inner self-control despite my body telling me "no"... I think I am now ready to stop drinking wine. I didn't enjoy most of the bottle and certainly feel rough now.

    I think I'm finally seeing the light. I used to enjoy drinking, but last night I just didn't. And I am soooo tired now.

    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.
