Didn't miss it and feel chuffed knowing I'll wake up in the morning clear headed.

It's one of the nicest things about not drinking, knowing that tomorrow morning will feel like a morning when you can get up and get on, unlike my olden days when I used to be a tad hungover.

Had Bacardi yesterday which I have never drunk before and then had some awful nightmares. Not sure if it's related but not doing that again.
Enough to put you right off.

i haven't done very well lately. Trying hard.
Thank you all.

Keep trying, PSL, and it probably was the Bacardi. Rum is pretty heavy going and it catches up with you really quickly.

And keep posting. You'll find things slowly improve if you keep on posting. It just works.

13/31 please, Shaggy, and I hope the holiday is lovely.

Hello all
I am doing well this month. Probably due to my pledge to not drink til after my run. Sadly I have failed to adult in other ways for example managing to turn up on time to hair appointments. One step at a time, eh.

14/14 for today please Shaggy.Hope you enjoyed/are enjoying your hols.

Not doing very well this month. only at 4/15 so far. I've been having a bad time at work, coming home and having a drink or two. Need to get out of that habit.

IMO giving up/cutting down, for most people, is about changing habits. I'm not pretending it's easy but we can do it. I think distraction is a good technique. Think about rewarding yourself in a different way. I'm not actually advocating chocolate but.....:EasterBun


I had a moderate weekend which I'm pleased about.


Back on the wagon today. This week will be Monday to Wednesday as Thursday we're visiting the Bombay Sapphire distillery and it would be rude not to taste.;)



8 AFDs please Shaggy.
