So far though, 18/18 AFD please shaggy

Target Day!!!:T
That's brilliant now any other days will be a bonus.


I think it's common for 'drinking mates' to find it difficult when someone else isn't drinking. My guess is they feel it's a sort of veiled criticism. Some get used to it in time but you have to persist, others do fall by the wayside though.


I've heard all manner of excuses people give to avoid having to come clean to friends up to and including pregnancy!!:rotfl:

Calling in early but sure it will be AF tonight. DH opened a bottle of Prosecco yesterday and casually offered me a glass (I think to rest my resolve) which I refused easily, as I don't really like fizzy wine. The remainder has been going flat all day, so is likely to be tipped down the sink when he gets home. So 28/31 for me please Shaggy :j

Satch WTG headed for Easter.

We are going through until valentines' day.

Weirdly I keep hearing about alcoholics who have just died.

Almost there! I think I might just make my target. It's finally pay day tomorrow (hurrah!) so it's tempting to go out for a beer or few but I'll try to have a quiet night in on Saturday or Sunday.

Thanks PigglesIt has really helped being on here and I never knew !!!
My friends are mostly a distant memory although they haven't fallen out with me, they definitely avoid me because I don't drink.
I know this means they are not my true friends and meeting some new people who are non drinkers would open my options. My old friends only want to meet in the pub and after 7 j20s it stops being fun. They don't want to for a meal or anything as it is spending beer money.
However meeting new people is well out of my comfort zone. Especially without a beer inside me.
I will have to work on that I guess!!
