*a note to myself really but re reading my post made me think, what bloody rubbish excuses I told myself for opening a bottle of wine. Going forward, I'm going to write down my reasons/excuses, have a cup of tea (which I love just as much) and revisit

That's interesting @family355. My excuses include a terrible day, an awful journey home, bad news, good news, sunny weather - all rubbish excuses really. Your solution sounds good and I will have to try and follow it - as well as not being tempted to buy a bottle especially when shopping later in the afternoon after choose excuse to insert here!

Interesting comments. 👍 I'm usually fine on school nights but, like @CuppaTea, I hate the thought of being AF at weekends. I'm OK if I'm out and driving or at the theatre/cinema. At least I've cracked not getting home late in the evening and starting then. 😁

7/10 AFDs please@cathybird

I’m another one who is normally fine during the week but I do like to have a drink Friday/Saturday/Sunday - the problem is when we keep having all these Bank Holiday Monday’s too 😉

7/10 for today please cathybird

Declaring early for 3/14. Really interesting discussion, especially about excuses and one not being enough.
