    Morning everyone, hope you're all well.

    I'll catch up on the thread in a bit but just wanted to update my totals for May and June!

    Holiday went well and we had plenty of days at the beach with the wee man, this was his first time at the beach and he even managed into the sea for a little paddle! I drove every day so no temptation to drink but I did buy some craft beers form the Cromarty Brewery. They're at home and will be enjoyed on my birthday next month!

    May was completely AF as expected and so far June has been plain sailing, no notion to drink at all. I'm getting a little bit fed up with soda water and lime though, but Mrs fatrab hasn't been drinking much so we've not been at the pub very often, and when we did go it was only for food.

    So the totals were/are 31/31 for May, 5/30 for June and 65/90 if I've done my sums correctly!!

    Thanks Baileys :)

    Baileys, I'm so, so sorry I keep doing this. I know perfectly well that it's you doing all the hard work, that Shaggy is busy doing other things and that without you the thread would collapse. I found it easier and quicker to break the habit of actually drinking than I do to get my fingers to type Baileys instead of Shaggy. Sorry sorry sorry.


    5/30 please.

    Mea culpa, so so sorry Baileys. And to think I thought I was right as I knew Shaggy was wrong.

    Doing okay, no drinking for the month so far, so I'm 4 down, on day 5. I have an event in a pub tonight, but as I'm by myself I should be safe. I have been invited to travel a great distance to a friend's house on 16th though for a party. That one will be harder. Thinking of taking some Koppaburg Blue to reduce the temptation. My friend likes a drink himself, but isn't always happy about it. I think he would love us to get merry as per annual expectations, but may just be understanding. It will all depend on my own shoulder angels and devils I think.
    Keep reading books!
