Find it hard to be AL, once tempted to have one it quickly becomes 2, 3 or even 4!!!!

Declaring tonight though and going to keep busy wrapping Christmas prezzies and having an early night.

Oh goodness I remember that!

Glad it went well, Satchmo.

9/31 please, Shaggy.

First check-in of the month To be perfectly honest I'm on 5/18 but one of those "drinking" days was just a very small glass - more of a mouthful - of weak mulled wine so I'm going to declare 6/18 and hope that it is in the "spirit" of the rules.

I'm sure that falls into the section of the rules dealing with liqueur chocolates, sherry trifle and mouthwash!:rotfl:


No drinking planned today.


6 AFDs please Shaggy.

Hello all

I've not been on in ages as I have no laptop at the moment and it was too much of a faff on the phone but borrowing my DDs so I can get on!

I hope everyone is well and managing a reasonable amount of AFDs or ALDs. Me, doing badly! I will lurk and jump back in properly in the new year

Love to all x

7/18 for tonight please.

10/21 thanks Shaggy.

Sandypan...me three. They are right that for some of us it IS the first drink that's the problem.

Have you read 365reasons2sober.com? I find her writing helpful.

I now regard myself as teetotal - love liqueur chocolates and never say no when they're offered, haven't seen sherry trifle for a decade but would happily scoff mountains of it and lick the bowl out, and use mouthwash every day.

I seem to remember the drink that sparked this discussion off was a tiny glass of weak mulled wine. By the time it's been heated through I would have said most of the alcohol has evaporated but I know I couldn't stop at one so I daren't. Each to their own, I always say.

10/31 please, Shaggy.
