    Good morning everyone.
    22/21 for yesterday please cathybird. 
    That 22nd dry day was more difficult than any for ages. I have been generally alcohol free on 'school nights' for some time; not thinking about it really. Yesterday evening I was watching TV and someone was having a glass of wine and I really really wanted a drink! I didn't but it made me realise that if you have a disordered relationship with alcohol (as I still have) it can creep up on you☹️.

    That's happened to me too marahouti. Just goes to show the power of advertising. I've often seen someone having a drink on tv and felt the same. I think it's about selling a lifestyle. When I first started cutting down, I found it difficult driving home from work past wine bars , looking in at the brightly lit interiors at people having fun. It's just as much fun on weekends though. :wink:

    11/10 AFDs please Cathy.

    6/16 for this evening please Cathy. Could you put me down for 16 in August when the time comes.
    I get that too Marahouti, and agree with Maman it's hard to pass bars, especially if you are walking you don't even need to stop and park!

    Welcome back Arsenalbarnsie.  I’m the same, woman always seem to be rewarding themselves with really cold glasses of white wine in the programmes I watch after a day at work lol
