Morning all,

Welcome new peeps :hello:

Molly - it was a bit more fun yesterday wasn't it? - I think thats why it helped me a few months ago. It all went a bit serious for me over the last couple of weeks - hence not posting at the weekend.

What. I'm the thread laughing stock, now?

Have asked before, but will ask again, what do you think about the goverments anti drinking ads? Have they shifted your thinking - personnally I would say yes. I am far more aware of the units, even though I knew them before.....

I thought the one I heard on the radio yesterday was great....it said stuff like...before having a drink, would you lie down on the ladies floor face down or hug the toilet? Would you tip curry or kebab all down your new dress? Would you jump into a car with a complete stranger? Would you go home with a complete stranger that you've only just met?

Quite powerful stuff!

Morning guys and gals, well AFD for me yesterday :T everyone sounds to be doing ok, lots of banter on here yesterday!

My desk calendar at work has a very appropriate quote today:

Abstainer: A weak person who yields to the temptation of denying themselves pleasure.

I had such a long and complicated dream last night (which I won't bore you with :rolleyes: ) I can't stop mulling it over and trying to work out what it means, it is doing my head in!!

good luck for today everyone !

obv I was well behind with Mary Hopkin - then I saw bhb's link - doh! I am a bit slow sometimes!

Hope nobody's noticed I've made no comment re weekend but had alch free day yesterday. Terrible craving last night - for the choccy biscuits! Kept off those too tho. Won't be having any alch today either. It's in the house & it's not bothering me (beachbeth was right about that - it's more pressure when there isn't any, our minds work in mysterious ways.....), but, ahem, I might want to be a leeetle beeet more careful next weekend.
