Hiya everyone,

Sorry not been about much, really busy with a house move and work:eek:

On the alchohol front, I've been pretty okay, had the odd glass of wine but nothing to excess. Realised now that I had definately got into a habit, which I seem to have broke and not obsessing about it anymore.

My plan is to be teetotal, not managing that at the moment, but I am below the recommended units of 14 a week and not struggling to do this, I just have to be watchful that it doesn't creep back up.

Hope everyone is ok xx

Morning all.
Have been reading the "seasonal" debate. I agree but, predictably, every season is a trigger for me! From the bottle of red warming in front of the fire in winter to the chilled white in a hot summer's garden......."sigh". Obviously I am talking about the olden days (I wish....)

I have been complete carp, ongoing, but a "driving job" I've been dreading & which has been hanging over me like the sword of damocles for a month finally got done yesterday (I hate driving esp journeys I don't know & even more esp on big roads I am country bumpkin!) & at long last the boat is back home.
Tomorrow is my dentist appt-from-hell which although you may think would make me want extra "anaesthetic" has the opposite effect, I am gonna feel so bad afterwards.
Have a good day all!

Seasons, to me, are irrelevant cos I can always find a drinking justification in each of em i.e.

Spring - needing a drink when trying to work out how to pay xmas off/how to afford a summer break

Summer - sunny happy times, BBQs, beer gardens, garden parties, light in the evening in the garden etc..

Autumn - not worrying so much about keeping the calories down now the bikini seasons over!

Winter - xmas, hot toddys, drinking by the fire, in a country pub by the fire, nip of brandy to warm up etc...

See, I'm quite a professional :cool: :rolleyes:

Hi to the newbies :wave:

Hi WB, I'd be the same about the driving and am exactly the same about the dentist, I can truely sympathise!!

Hey, hey, hey!!!

How come, everytime I climb up on to the wagon, someone sticks me in the ejector seat?!! :rotfl:

You should know the story by now......

I should look on it as I looked on smoking, really, but I still find that I am justifying it to myself (similar to jo's 'seasons', but every day )

I need to realise that you can't get a fag paper between the two addictions......

May toddle off to Waterstones, see what I can find......

Sorry all, you must be sick of me turning up here with the same old, lame old.......

Hi to the newbies - don't listen to me, listen to jo, bis, molly and the others who are able to confront it ful on! I am in awe of each and every one of you....

Hope you have better tales to tell than I...
