Bit of a disaster day yesterday. I went out for a late lunch with friends and had a (planned) glass of wine - just the one. Great I thought. Arrived home and decided that as I'd already had a drink that day, it would make no difference if I had another. A bottle and a half of wine later it definitely did. So annoyed with myself. I just can't trust myself! The only positive is that I have no inclination to have a "hair of the dog" - one of my tried and trusted excuses of old to drink on consecutive days.
13/24 please Cathybird.
Actually another positive is that this thread is here regardless of whether you are winning or not and you know that no-one will judge you.9
