    I've battled for a while this eve as to whether to share this or not, but decided to do so as seeing it written down may help me in some way. It's nothing major but a bit of a wake up call of sorts.

    Mum is down staying with us for few days, she doesn't drink herself and never comments on how much I drink when in her company. I drank bottle of wine on Friday, sat and Sunday night in her company. So why did I feel the need to secretly drink a bottle of wine last night?
    I planked a tumbler of wine in bedroom and the bottle outside in shed so throughout the eve I popped outside to swig from the bottle :eek: and pop upstairs to drink from the tumbler. She never suspected a thing. I can't believe I did it. I'm 46 for goodness sake not a teenager. I mean, who does that sort of thing. :eek:She is still here tonight and I'm quite happy with my cup of tea.

    Anyway now I've got that off my chest I'm happy to report 4 AF please shaggy

    7/27 AFDs tonight. DH finished a half bottle of wine from Sunday, and thoroughly enjoyed it. He started off being a bit gloating, but then offered me the second glass. I didn't accept, but enjoyed the offer.
    What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?
  • 5/21 for me now plus 1 ALD please

    Morning all! I think I said I planned today as a non-AFD but a work colleague is leaving and the drinks do is tomorrow night, so will be switching my non-AFD to tomorrow. So it's 6/15 for me today please Shaggy. :)

    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.
