Giving up/ Cutting Down Alcohol Thread Part 16

1/20 for yesterday too please Shaggy. Good to kick the month off early and I intend to be AF today too.
Very challenging times and difficult to avoid the 'I deserve a treat' feeling after being isolated all day. I can quite understand why people are stocking up with booze and maybe for most that isn't a problem. I just do not want to go back to the wine every or even most nights.

Me, too. It's heartening for me that I know it's not just booze I want but a treat at the end of the day. I have plenty of gin and other stuff in the house but what I want is my current favourite wine. I'd be sad if I couldn't get that but it's probably better that I just buy in enough for the weekend. It suited me last week when there was a limit of how much people could buy of anything. As stocks return to normal, I'll have to find ways limit myself.  Usually I buy in loads at a time when the offers are on but limit myself by going out and doing stuff on weekday evenings.  That's not an option now.  Apologies for thinking aloud.  

On the plus side, I haven't found this week as long as last week. It's Friday tomorrow.  
2/10 AFDs please Shaggy.

Sukeyboo I get that completely. Me too
Maman, that’s where I’m at. I love my wine and would want to drink it if it was in the house. I can restrict myself with sweets, chocolate and biscuits etc, by having 1-2 and putting them back. I can’t do that with wine. Once the bottle is open it in the recycling by bedtime.

For some reason I’m craving wine this afternoon. If it was in the house it wouldn’t be safe this evening. 

I’ve tried to analyse why. It’s habit, boredom and feeling like I want a treat myself because I can’t see my friends or do outside the house activities. 

It’s sounds selfish in the grand scheme of things. 😢
