1/10 for today please cathybird5

1/23 for me please
I just came back from the shops. It took me a good 15 minutes looking at wine and beer as I have a friend coming. So overwhelmed I left it all and bought some milk so my guest can have a cup of tea. If they want booze they can bring their own. Bought some nice fizzy water for myself.
I thought this would be easier...If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

1/20 for me today, pleaseWhat would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?6

I do feel a lot better for cutting out alcohol in my head as well as physically DIA, I just need to master the art of eating now to compensate for the lost calories. I quite like fizzy water if it is cold, hope it works for you too. I think social drinking is far harder to avoid.
My visitor today kindly bought me a bottle of my preferred Prosecco. It is under the sink testing my will power, if the food noise gets too much then it might have to leave the building.
1 of 20 for me please CathybirdMy mortgage free diary: +++ Divide by Cucumber Error. Please reinstall universe and reboot+++

0/23 for me. After my battle at the sm I lost in the end. I went to the beach with my friend. I thought we were just going for a walk. I didn't even take my card. She bought me a glass of fizz. I drank it! Socially, as you say @redofromstart it is very hard!If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them
