    Evening
    I ended up having wine last night but won't drink tonight, so I'm on 2/20 for March.
    I was prescribed some medication yesterday which I shouldn't drink with when taking my antidepressants, so it looks like I'm abstaining for the next 3 weeks. Won't do me any harm at all, I feel quite relieved to have the decision taken for me.
    Say what you mean.. mean what you say... without being mean.

    Annie I know what you mean !
    Like being the driver ,,,,,I almost dread that thought or can’t wait to offer my services!! Takes away the decision to drink or not , if you can’t then you can’t ,,,,

    Morning all - not sure if today will be an AFD or not, as an old friend is meant to be taking me for drinks at lunchtime, but haven't heard from him yet so we'll see! If he doesn't, it will be an AFD. :)


    Yes go loveasale, agree with Glenda, bucking the trend is good :)

    I’m sure I wrote a while back ,,, one of many (and there are many indeed ) reasons for cutting my booze down was that as I’m at 50 all things start to change ,, I suppose that’s where the name comes from !
    I have had a few recalls on routine tests , nothing has come of any of them , yet,,, but I would like stay as heathy as I can !
    So I read all the comments and links with interest !
    Def no drink today or tonight 5/20 and 3/5

    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.
