    What do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.

    Well, I'm considering it and I'm round about the same age (54) - hoping to bring retirement forward if I can, so saving on alcohol is all part of that. I try to save across the board really, in all categories, the main weaknesses are food and books, much more in control than they used to be though!


    I have a massive spread sheet that goes back 15 years! So I've never completely lost control...but I know I can do better...the thought of not working is a bit bonkers though ha ha (and scary! )

    Good morning everyone,
    Double checked on my app, and I'm actually at 10 days please Shaggy.
    Must have miscounted on the thread, blonde moment for me which is why I record it on my phone too. I have only had a drink on two days so far this week, but I don't like to count today until it's done and dusted.

    Thanks as always for running the thread.

    Done the 30 days challenge. :D

    Feeling good - don't know if I'll manage another 30 days but can't see anything on the horizon at the moment that would be cause for a drink.....


    That's brilliant! And you've made it seem effortless. Many congratulations.:T


    Out dancing and driving tonight so definitely not drinking.:) I've picked up so many good habits (or should that be stopped bad ones?:think:) since I came on here. There was a time when I'd come home about 10.30 p.m. and start playing catch up, necking all the wine I'd not drunk during the evening:o. Not any more. Now I just put the kettle on.:D


    9/10 AFDs please Shaggy and 2/3 for the SNC.
