    Me again...

    I went to the supermarket and it struck me how much cheaper my shopping is now I rarely buy wine. This falls into the category of the from the school of the blindingly obvious but I don't think I had appreciated how much I spent.

    Another nice thing about taking control of drinking :)

  • I am not going to drink tonight so I am 11/20 for today.
    I had two glasses of wine yesterday with a friend as she was celebrating. I am torn between feeling a bit disappointed as I had managed 10 consecutive days and pleased because I had a drink, did not get drunk and am not bothered about having a drink tonight.
  • Thank you Baileys, Honey Bear and Maman for the welcome :)

    Day 14 for me today and having worked a lot of hours over the weekend I’d soooo like to chill out with a nice cold glass of wine whilst sat in the garden enjoying the sun :eek: but I’m going to make do with a cuppa instead! :)
