13/31 for me tonight please Shaggy x

I am very pleased to report my automatic 'need' for an evening tipple hasn't raised it's head in a long while now. It really feels like progress. I am a little tired of tea though, so glad to remember a bottle of fizzy ginger beer (non-alcho) lurking in a cupboard, which hit the spot just now.

That's a big milestone when wine o'clock comes round and you don't even notice dizzy. I progressed from copious amounts of water to mugs of tea. Over time I'm down to a couple of mugs of an evening.


Definitely AF today so calling it early.


5 AFDs please Shaggy.

March totals so far: AFD = 7, AD = 6, so still at 7/20 for me, but the next 4 days will be AFD (unless I let myself down big time)

That's a huge stepping stone, Dizzy. Good on you for sticking with it, because it gets better and better very quickly after you've passed that one.

14/31 please, Shaggy.

Hello Everyone

Belated Birthday Greetings Debjay.


Had a wonderful time away and just about managed to regulate alcohol intake i.e no drinking during the day & only had alcohol when we met up with our friends for drinks & dinner at night. Only on the Saturday night did it have the potential to run amock as I was all geared up to have endless late night drinks when Mr SPS & I got back to our hotel. Luckily, he talked me round and I sensibly went to bed after we had had one. Still woke up feeling ill & hungover though.

Did have a few beers at the airport as I was already in dark glasses and suffering but hey it was a chic city break so everyone was in sunglasses anyway. Mr SPS & I <appear> to be over the worst of my previous antics and at times I saw him look at me like he didn't completely hate me anymore. Still early doors though and I have to keep trying.

Back on the wagon and calling in for tonight 10/31 AF

Good Luck to anyone struggling tonight.

SPS X

Tomorrow is my last day alcohol free. Right now I'm on 28/30. Can't wait for a glass of wine on Wednesday night!!!

Morning all! Happy Monday morning 8/15 for me please Shaggy I confess to somewhat overdoing it on the weekend and while I don't seem to struggle too much with days off I haven't quite hit the right balance when I have days on so am giving the whole idea of ALDs renewed thought.

Dizzy, I love ginger beer - think it is a lifesaver when it comes to having a drink straight after I get home from work on AFDs.

Afternoon :hello:

2 ALDs for Friday, Saturday & an AFD for yesterday.
