    Welcome Danipat !
    Posting here is the best start ,,, I’d love to cut back , but I’m a greedy binge drinker , so I’m better to not drink at all ,,,
    I don’t drink in the week anymore, I used to down a bottle ( sometimes more ) a night , so that for me is a huge improvement,
    I’ve only drank on sat and sun the last 2 weekends , and although it was fun whilst drinking , I’m still thinking of giving up completely, i hope I will finally succeed!
    The support on here and my own self brain washing has been great for me thus far ,,,, and giving up really is not giving up ,, it’s gaining, !
    :money: I will never be rich but I'm happy :rotfl:

    Shaggy... thank you, that made me smile!!

    Well this morning I received a formal offer for the job in Vietnam. I wasn't sure how I'd feel but I'm so excited! The opportunity and the big expat salary make it an offer I can't refuse. I'm going to take the dog with me, I can't even contemplate rehoming him. So, I'm toasting my good fortune with some Prosecco tonight.

    I won't make 5 on the SNC but I think this is a good reason not to.

    Congratulations Annie, a relief for you.

    I’ve had a nice easy evening where wine hasn’t even crossed my mind. I thought if Pollyanna and smiled at my Level 1 day.
    Live for the moment and plan for the future
