...Going to a funeral where no-one can talk about what caused a death far too young is a tricky business. Everyone was handed a glass of Proseco as they arrived...

...I went to a similar funeral a few years ago, so I can relate to exactly what you're saying...

Perhaps people SHOULD talk about the reasons behind untimely deaths. For a variety of reasons, I wasn't able to talk about why my first husband killed himself for a long time and I know it contributed to my excessive drinking.

18/31 for me today please Shaggy x

March totals so far: AFD = 11, AD = 6, so 11/20 for me please


The test of the weekend lies ahead of me. Still not sure how I am going to start getting AFD between Friday and Sundays. I need a plan!

Lucy, I have a similar mindset to you on the Fri-Sun thing. I ended up having unplanned drinks last night with a friend who had opened some wine. I could have declined but I wanted to socialise and fancied it. So to make up for it I am not planning to drink tonight, even though I am going out.

We could do a deal together, out to support each other, we will stay AF. What do you think?

Sounds good to me, although I am not sure I want to go AF for the whole weekend. I was thinking of stamping it out on a sunday as it is effectively a 'school' night....just to start off with. Of course next weekend will be a major hurdle as I would normally drink Thur/Fri/Sat/Sun/Mon. If I can cut that down to 4 or even 3 nights I will be happy.

Likewise I didn't mean the whole weekend, how about tonight we go AF and see how we feel on Sunday?

I'm trying to do Mon-Thurs AF, drink Fri/Sat depending on whether I'm driving or nothing or ALD on Sunday. However the best laid plans don't always happen :rotfl:

Afternoon :hello:

I gave into Thirsty Thursday - and still feel the effects of the wine. I won't be tempted tonight because Parkrun tomorrow morning, but meeting lots of friends tomorrow and they all will be drinking, and I don't want to drink anything to make up for last night - I can only allow myself one AD this week. I am going to have to be very, very disciplined ...

What do you want to do for the rest of March? You could set a new target for the rest of the month and you could count the AFDs you've already achieved in March.
