    Hello! I am up to 5/5 for the SNC, 15 for the month and 126 for the year.

    I shouldn't drink tonight as up early tomorrow. Might see if I can stop at one or two instead of just drinking the whole bottle. Or I could just not drink tomorrow, so I'm bright and happy for my day out tomorrow.

    I tried a bottle of Seedlip Spice (non-alcoholic). First I had it with ginger ale and couldn't really taste it. Then I tried it with tonic water. It was nice, and had slightly bitter and woody undertones that slowed you down while you were drinking and made it interesting. But a few drops of Angostura Bitters in a ginger beer is nice in the same way, and not nearly so expensive. I can't vouch for the other Seedlips because I haven't tried them. I will at some point.


    I did get to try some Seelips at a friends house - I thik it was the citrus one - very nice. But it is expensive and it has to be drunk withing 6 months I think so can't say I'd buy it...
    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.

    Oh I didn't realise it had to be drunk within 6 months! That's another point against it really. I do think Seedlips are a good idea, since it makes non-alcoholic cocktails when you're out more interesting, but when I'm at home I'm just as happy with water to be honest!

    So been off line for a couple of days. I was AF Wednesday and tonight so 14/15 and 4SNC. However was at a friend’s house last night and drank far too much so felt v fragile this morning. So stupid.
    I’m away next week so won’t be joining in with SNC for a while but I will try and get 10AFDs for October - thanks Shaggy - it will be difficult as we are away but I need to try to do that.

    Another AF Friday yesterday (they're becoming a habit:D). We were out all evening at the football:(:footie: and although drowning sorrows was an option I decided it was too late to throw away an AF opportunity.

    12/10 AFDs please Shaggy
