For me it was a bottle of wine (often more) seven nights a week for many years. Things had to change. It took me a long to make that change (until I was over sixty) but eventually I did.Season_of_Mist said:500 days AF will be a fantastic achievement RobM99. You should be rightly proud of that. It’s always interesting to hear what others consider to have been ‘too much’ when they look back at their drinking; there’s a spectrum isn’t there, for you it was a four pack of silly-strength lager, for someone else it could just be a couple of extra glasses of wine with dinner, and at the other end of the scale it’s the people who are doing two bottles of vodka every night. I think wherever we fall on that scale, it’s just having the realisation that I’m drinking too much / too often, it’s becoming habitual, and I’ve gotta change it.

Stayed AF yesterday so 13/15 please for Wednesday. However I had intended to be AF Monday to Thursday and failed on Tuesday. So cross with myself, willpower of wet lettuce. For the sake of my health (and ever increasing weight) I need to stop this. Hopefully tonight I will be reporting a successful AF day.3
