    Evening all,

    Shoppy, glad the robin's ok :D

    WB, just go to bed if you're tired, you are doing amazing!

    Mymatebob, congrats and good luck, keep posting :)

    Bismarck, Molly, Beth, BHB and everyone else I've missed :wave:

    Well was an enlightening evening at the phsycotherpist (sp?), learnt a lot about myself and promised to drop to 2 tonight and see how it goes. I learnt a lot about self control and 'having' to do stuff that I actually don't have to do. We went back as far as when my dad died in 1993 and the fact that I couldn't control a huge moment of my life, it seems that I'm afraid of not having control over things (I am a control freak and don't like delegating :o ). Anyway, I decided on the drive home that I didn't actually fancy a drink and I made the decision not to...today, I'm not saying that I'm not going to drink tomorrow but for today, nothing for me :D

    Went to Tesco and bought a shed load of ice cream which I'm going to start on now :D:D

    Speak to you all tomorrow, un-hung-over'd

    Welcome lifesucks, I hope you get some good vibes on here to help you cut down/stop :)

    Well this morning I feel like carp, can you believe it! Slept like a log (eventually :rolleyes: then when the alarm went off it felt like I'd been partying all night :eek:)

    Still, I don't have a hangover which makes a change :D

    Morning Jo, Morning rest of peeps
    I have to confess to having a couple of bottles of beer last night - not a horrendous amount I know - but still not part of the plan.
    Couldn't get to sleep for ages last night - wonder why ......doh!

    Hope everyone has a good day
    BHB
