Someone I know just sent me this, passed it onto a few people I know who are finding past decisions are affecting them and I thought it worth sharing on here too for anyone struggling: ‘never be a prisoner of your past - it was just a lesson, not a life sentence’. 

Subject of which I should stop !!!!!! it for myself and try to get some sleep ha.

Hi Mollypolly, welcome back. 

I completely understand your situation. Recently I had no structure to my day for about 2 weeks. No work, evening driving and extra stress. During that time to escape I found my drinking increased above my normal. 

Fortunately it was short lived and I appreciated getting back into routine. I feel better for it too. It’s frightening how easy it is to rely on “something” when life gets overwhelming. 

Do you have a routine in your week? If not can you create some things to do of an evening?  What time do you start to get cravings?  I’ve recently started having a Trip CBD drink between 5-6pm instead of wine. Then dinner between 6-7pm. 

It’s helped to curb the craving and sometimes if I’ve been driving and busy I haven’t given wine a thought. 

It’s still early days for me but I’m trying out different things. 

Good luck. 

(19 days for me please for May).

Morning Cathybird, morning everyone. Welcome to a shiny new month!

I've realised that I finished May on 9 instead of 10. Sorry to muck your score sheet up. Please can I have a target of 16 in June. I'm declaring early for this evening so 1/16 please. 

AllNightDiner

@CuppaTea I am enjoying those things too: for me it is also the nice ritual of getting a glass out, putting ice in and the sound of opening a lovely AF drink.
