  • Hoping for AF today but will need to be very strong. Been busy lately and drank too much Wednesday and Thursday which meant Friday was very tough. I need to remember how this felt.

    I missed saying How lovely to read your news Cuppatea. wishing you the very best. :T

    And also Maggie you had written that you aren't an example but you are. Your updates are really important and I also follow your posts with interest.

    Well its been about 10 days since I joined this thread & about 12 days since I had any alcohol.

    I estimate in that time I have saved a very conservative £60 by not buying wine, even more if you add on the stuff I used to buy on impulsive when buying my fix in the supermarket! :)
    Tallyhoh! Stopped Smoking October 2000. Saved £29382.50 so far!

    Good morning everyone,

    1 more for last night please Shaggy x
    Got that Friday sweaty itchy feeling, however didn't succumb! However may have had a few wine gums!

    Have a good Saturday

  • Mmmmm wine gums.
    I'm still counting it as a win :)

    Good, because it is a win, regardless of what the motivation is.

    Ooooh CathyBird, you've really got the bit between your teeth now, haven't you?! :T:T:T

    Keeping a check of what not drinking is saving you is a briliant idea, TallyHo!

    23/30 please, Shaggy.
    Better is good enough.
