    I really do just feel like staying off the drink altogether, I'm not enjoying it. I think it's going to be a "special occasions" thing from now on.
    I can identify with this. On the 2 occasions I have had a drink recently I feel I was giving in to an idea of myself. This process is really making me rethink my whole relationship with drink. Anyway 11/15 for me thanks Baileys :)

    :D Isn't it great the way this thread has built in accountability. I love it!

    Oh totally, it really helps maman :) It's good to know I can change my mind about an AFD but it just feels so important to say so on here and keep track.
