    I did really badly at the weekend and had too much to drink on more than one occasion. I won't post on here how many bottles of wine I got through in 4 nights, but it is not good. Determined to stay AF til Friday now, but for the time being stuck on 10/15 as reported last week :(
    What goes around comes around.....I hope!

    At last, finally another AF in. August has been terrible for me. Out of routine and too many sod it days.

    Only af tonight as I have a terrible cold.

    14 for me please shaggy.

    Maman do mind me asking where the stop button sits these days. What do you class as low tolerance?

    I want to remind myself of what's normal as I think my bar has increased. I'm going to relook at this asap. Don't want things escalating. My blood test showed everything is normal but my kidney function is slightly off. Doc asked if I drink much water. I drink loads. So she's repeating the tests in a month. It mskingbme question everything.
    Live for the moment and plan for the future

    Thank you HB and Maman

    I'm still on 15. Very social time at the moment.
    But In my bid to cut down a friend who drives has introduced me to Alcohol free Ginger beer.
    She has no idea how much this will help me and does not understand my gratitude. It's very very nice. Would recommend to all.
    2017- 5 credit cards plus loan
    Overdraft And 1 credit card paid off.

    2018 plans - reduce debt

    14/15 please - so close! However not doing as well as some as I did drink too much this weekend on a couple of social occasions. Not out of control but still more than I really wanted to drink. Felt rather fuzzy the day after too. Onwards and upwards hopefully

    Hi all,

    Weighed myself this morning and I've put on a stone and a half in 14 months :eek::eek: I know why - I have been worrying about someone I love who is going through a horrible break up. But this must stop!

    Lots of AFDs must be had.

    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.
