  • Hello everyone !
    I can’t believe I’ve got to day 15 of December and so far not had a drink , I’ve been given lots of wine and fizzy for Christmas from clients and it’s all on the side, normally I drink every day in December, cannot really recall not even having one day AF in the past , honestly that sounds bad , but it’s true !
    I have a Christmas do on Friday , and I may drink , I will keep off the wine though, maybe vodka , as I don’t tend to be greedy for it !
    15/14 1/5 SNC
    :money: I will never be rich but I'm happy :rotfl:

    Morning all, 13/21 for me today please. :)

    I had a lovely time at my Christmas lunch yesterday, it was great to see my friends, and I won't lie, I did drink a bit, but I really enjoyed it and today I feel okay. Nothing now probably between now and Christmas itself. :)

    December's an interesting month for keeping off the booze, or keeping consumption low. I could never manage anything like moderating it, but other people clearly can, amongst them you, Love a Sale. Good on you. (It all goes a bit quiet the closer we get to the 25th on here, and some years I think I've been the only poster a few days in a row!)

    16/31 please, Shaggy.
    Better is good enough.
  • Can I just say loveasale that you are doing great.

    HB, good to have you back, I for one have missed your wise words on here.

    I find that since cutting down I look forward to and enjoy a drink far more than my previous nightly drinking which had just become a habit. :)

    I'm hoping to do well for the next few days. I've nothing planned with alcohol involved until Friday.

    6/10 AAFDs please Shaggy.
