    Sorry my posts are always so long and rambly! I need to get into the habit of posting more frequently so they are less lengthy! :o

    Your posts are just fine. A lot of things occur to people who are changing old habits for new ones, and they pop into our heads at very random times. Post away - someone, if not everyone, will find something resonates.


    Nothing to apologise for lonelyrat. As HB says, what you might consider ramblings will be useful to someone as tips for cutting down/giving up. I certainly approve of rewarding yourself with the money saved!:D


    I'm out for lunch today but have decided to be AF. Lunchtime drinking always makes me sleepy and I've got too much on later in the day.


    11/10 AFDs please Baileys.

    lonelyrat, I agree with maman and Honey Bear, I find everyone's experiences with AFDs really interesting even if I don't always post a reply, so please keep rambling :)

    Ramble away. I've learnt so much from others comments :)
    Your post reminded me that I could replace my getting in and wanting a glass of wine with my nighttime skincare routine instead. I don't need to wait until just before bed if I know I am not going out. So, your ramble helped me. Thank you :)

    It's so helpful hearing everyone else's thoughts and insights, particularly at the start of the journey.

    7/17 for me!

    I think if I'd allowed myself to drink during the day I'd have been a lot further down the road to destruction by the time I eventually stopped. Like you, it always sent me to sleep and even when I wasn't busy that wasn't what I ever wanted during the afternoons. On the rare occasions I did, I was in bed by 5.00 pm.


    23/31 please, Baileys.
    Better is good enough.
