    Welcome Bevery 1471 and good luck with it. It's easy enough to let a way of relaxing turn into something that isn't so clever after a while. I imagine that's how most of us ended up over-indulging.

    It sounds more of a habit than an addiction so if you can distract yourself in the evenings that should help. It's so easy for partners and friends to think that encouraging people to drink is being kind but in the long run it's not that helpful.

    Keep posting. We're all rooting for you.

    I had to stay longer where I volunteer today which meant that although I had a big enough breakfast, lunch was a different matter. I had an emergency packet of oatcakes in my bag so that was lunch. At least they're low GI, even if carby. Hey ho

    12/31 please, Baileys.
    Better is good enough.

    I guess things get a bit mundane from here....
