18/25 today please cathybird. I'm confident that I will have an alcohol free Easter weekend but not sure about chocolate free 🫤. When I was drinking I rarely ate sweets and chocolate but I seem to have replaced red wine with Snickers as an evening treat!

I am declaring well in advance: 12/15 for me today please @cathybird!This challenge is making such a difference to my drinking habits! I am away in France at the moment, and prior to joining this group I would have drunk at least two glasses of wine per day whilst here, and now I am mostly avoiding alcohol, or else drinking one small glass, and I feel much better for it!
Thank you all - this is a very supportive group 🙂9 -
