Thank you all for the warm welcome back! 😁 this is such a supportive space and was instrumental in my turn around with alcohol last year - despite my recent lapses, I know that I will find it easier to return to being alcohol free by re-engaging with this thread 😁
@cathybird - I'll just stick with TF for August and then set a target for September - it takes a couple of weeks for my dh to realise that I'm serious about quitting and for him to stop buying me alcohol! 🙄😂 Yesterday, I had an unexpected situation to deal with so he brought home some wine 'to make up for my disrupted day' 🤦♀️ bless him, I know he means well and it's my choice whether or not to consume it, but it certainly doesn't make it easy!!
Anyhoo, not doing well yet but checking in anyway to keep my eye on the prize - dh has been reminded again so hopefully I'll be af tomorrow! 🤞

22/28 for me today please. I scuttled off to bed immediately after dinner last night, with a hot blackcurrant.

@leftatthetrafficlights it doesn't sound easy for you, I know myself it can be hard sharing the house with someone who wants to drink. Hope dh adjusts! xx

One yesterday. I drove home and by 9:30 didn't bother with a glass of wine.
