    Morning! Hope you all had a nice weekend.


    I almost had a wobble yesterday. To the point where I had ordered a pint and it sat in front of me for 10 minutes before I decided not to drink it. That was tough. Reverted back to soda water and lime.


    19/28 so far :)
    You can have results or excuses, but not both.

    Terrible weekend for me alcohol-wise - must make wiser choices next weekend :o

    Amazing willpower to not drink that pint Fatrab :T I need to take a leaf out of your book and not drink 'just because it's there' :(

    Wow! That's willpower! Well done!:T
    I had a good weekend. Friday one single measure of gin at a pub lunch. Didn't fancy any more later so stopped at that.:)


    Target day for me today.:D Bonus days to follow for the rest of the week.


    10/10 AFDs please Baileys.

    Thanks, but if I had any sense I wouldn't have ordered it in the first place. You've no idea how hard it was to reject it once it was actually sitting there!

    Respect fatrab no way could I have done that. Hopefully you had us all in your head saying DONT DO IT :)
    i'm afraid I am being a bit of a wimp by avoiding as many social situations as possible to avoid temptation

    Morning all, 14/21 for me please. :) Well done fatrab from me too - I can relate to the sudden thought of "no what am I doing" when you have it in front of you but it's still very hard!
