8/24 for me.
I really was planning on going to the pub this afternoon to watch the football and have a few beers but in the end I really couldn't be bothered turning out in such miserable weather. Had a bath and listened to the footy on the radio instead.
I almost never drink at home (even though I have a full drinks cabinet), My problem always has been when going out and when I start drinking I find it hard to stop.
One of my reasons for cutting back this month is that in October I had a two week holiday and spent most of the time either drunk or hungover. At times I frightened myself with how much I was able to drink. I just seem incapable of going on holiday and only having a couple of drinks a day. For me, a holiday always seems to be planned around drinking. That can't be good for my health, wallet or actually having a good time that I will remember.0 -
6 please, Shaggy, thanks
Well done - but I could not imagine doing 2 in one day!!! You must be super-fit. DH tried Wilmslow today - slightly closer to us than the Manchester one - I went to the gym instead. I did cycle there though ... :cool:
I'm not super-fit Pricey, I'm a plodder: I used to be much quicker.
6/20 AFDs for me please, as I think I miscounted on my last post!What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?0 -

ShaggyxWhat 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.0 -

It might be too early to say but I'm hoping for a full SNC this week. Whatever, I'm not drinking today.
