Hi,

Not going to have a big target this month, so please could you put me down for 10

Thanks Baileys xx

well done cathybird

Aw thanks Baileys

Maman, I don't usually have planned days in mind unless I have some social occasion which is definitely going to involve drinking, of which there are generally one or two per month, otherwise I just play it by ear really. I try to do lunch with friends these days anyway as fewer people drink at lunch and it's not regarded as quite as obligatory, which saves hassle. Also prefer to be at home with the fire going in the evenings during the cold British winter, brrrrrrr

15/10 AFDs please Baileys.

For me I think about the social events I have planned in the month where I may want to drink and then chuck a few extras in just in case. What has changed for me is that I don't drink at home on my own anymore. My association with evening = wine seems to becoming unhooked and becks blue or tea replacing it I dont want to let myself or the thread supporters down so the target WILL be achieved.

Yeah another target achieved well done sukeyboo :T

Thanks Baileys - I am having a planned drinking day tomorrow so managed it by the skin-of-my-teeth

Maman - I tend to 'allow' myself drinking days for Fri-Sat-Sun and am normally AF Mon-Thurs unless I have a social event on a weekday

As you know, I'm quite new to this whole cutting down thing. And although I've never been dependent on drink (or anything else!) I think some of my problems arose more from the costs and health implications of drinking often & eating poorly. 17st 8 and frittering £900 every month. Now 16st and have some money in the bank (I know you didn't ask for a life story but it sets the scene for where I'm going with this - honest!). So I found myself a few days ago pondering "what am I going to do in March?".

Well if February was anything to go by, not much. Not until March's payday anyway (26th). But I would like a nice meal and a few drinks with Mrs fatrab before she goes back to work in April (babysitter required!). A day out with my mates for a few pints and a catch up for the first time in 3 months would be nice too. And my landlord up here in Inverness, who I get on with very well, keeps hinting at going for a midweek pint one Wednesday, and it will be 2 pints as he's not a big drinker.

So 3. I need 3 drinking days in March. And 28 AFD's. I need them too.
