    Everyone Welcome Anytime of the Month!
    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.

    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 ,,,,

    This is exactly how I feel. Going to a wedding in May and my cousins are like, Oh, why are you driving? You can't drink then.

    But then I am usually the entertainment at family weddings, not that I do anything too embarrassing, but yes, I do drink too much and am loud.

    This way I will save money on the booze and on the hotel for the night. I decided not to drink as it is driveable (45 mins away) and I am going away for a half term break with my kids the day after, so I can drive to the holiday with no hangover and I can partake of a drink the day after the wedding.

    I'm up to 3/16 for this month, 3/5 for the SNC and 47/183 for the year.

    Find it a tad annoying how the drink less app on my phone beeps at me at 10am to tell me to update my diary. Generally I don't drink during the week, but at least give me till 10pm till I complete the diary for the day!

    Agreed... I struggle with drink a bit, I occasionally smoke but have never understood gambling.

    I'm calling 3/20 today. I might go to Bootcamp, or I might snuggle up with my dog and watch the telly....
