    I’ll go the other way, I’ve been promoted and will soon be starting in a new post. I’ll be back to normal hours and no more Fridays off so I expect my drinking to be less. I’m a sit in the house drinker rather than a go out and be social drinker and with restaurants and the cinema opening up at some point I expect to be out more with the car at the weekends so less drink overall.

    When (??) things get back to normal I'll need return to limiting myself on how many days a week I choose to drink. My previous pattern was to stick mainly  to weekend drinking and if I went out socially midweek I'd either have water or have an occasional  AF Friday or Saturday instead. But I'm not ready for that just yet. 😉

    5/10 AFDs please Cathy

    Thank you so much for keeping track of us Cathybird.
    Off to a wobbly start this month as I was on leave and hit the bottle early every day, usually by 4pm.
    What a dreadful waste of a precious week off.
    I now have 3 consecutive days.  The hardest day is day one, it's a bit like dieting. By 5pm when we're tired, stressed and with low blood sugar it's easy to convince yourself to give in and start again tomorrow. 
    I just keep trying to remind myself  - alcohol robs the joy from tomorrow.

    8 days. Interesting to hear people’s thoughts on social drinking as we move out of lockdown. I’m not doing anything apart from visiting my in-laws if the weather is ok until 8th May. I’m fairly certain my days of big nights out are over tbh.
