Actually I think ive miscounted (numbers never my strong point which is probably why I'm pn the DF wannabe board in the first place!) I think yesterday was day 13 for me 😂
my paper diary says only 4 days I've had a drink - 1st, 10th, 11th and 16th (popped to the pub Friday but restricted myself to 2 pints which was pretty good for me) which should make today pink elephant day if I can stay strong 💪
