    I won’t declare early today, last night was a reminder how easily things can still change. I’m too reactive still.

    Me too Cuppa. I always post my total on the following morning for precisely this reason. Yesterday evening I got a bit overwhelmed and reacted by reaching for the wine. I kept it to two medium glasses but it was still unplanned emotional drinking  :(
    So still on 15/TF.

    Same here. I managed to not open a bottle from my new wine consignment last night but it wasn't easy. I'm finding 4 nights on a stretch difficult as generally I go out and drive myself at least  couple of evenings during the week so it makes it easier. Friday tomorrow. :wink:

    Oh I know that one all too well, except I’d have the bottle. Least yours was controlled. 
    I hope you’re feeling better today.

    Proud of myself today. We had a bbq and a friend left me a bottle of wine on my steps. I was umming and arrhing for a while until the food was ready. Then I left the wine as I wanted 4 consecutive days, I had an online exercise class this evening that wouldn’t have happened and I hadn’t planned to drink today. 
    Will power exerted despite the sunshine. 
    Wouldn’t have happened pre lock down.
