Can I declare 4/16 please? I couldn’t figure out getting it in red on my phone.
This is the first Friday in a long time when I haven’t drunk as I’m still contemplating dry jan.
I’m finding it okay, as in not desperate for a drink as I think it was all habit. While I was out, I did find that my mind was drifting to the bottle I would be opening only to remind myself that I wouldn’t be.
I do find that I am very aware that I am not drinking. Would like to get to a stage where it just becomes natural not to.
Both my brother and Dad are tee total as think they are both think like me and don’t have an off button, and have managed to give up and say they don’t miss it.
If it’s in the genes, guess I must have it!
Looking for a special drink I can compensate with. At the mo, I’m drinking fizzy flavoured water and tea.
Looking forward to my first sat in ages with no effects of drink.Pink Sproglettes born 2008 and 2010

Morning all,
I hope you find something soon Annie. Fingers crossed.
I am up to 5 so far. I suspect I'll be having a drink later as tonight will be a tough night. I am trying to resist, but I can feel the temptation already. xSeptember 2017 Debt = £25330
