    AFD3 for me, last night just kept thinking about the risks of driving the next day and it really put me off wanting anything!

    Hope all the muskahounds managed to be AF too? BHB well done you:T

    Eselt, you have done so well to turn your life around, you truly should be so proud of yourself:T What are you doing to celebrate your one year milestone?

    Morning all,

    Not doing as well as you lot unfortunately, had a big blow up with OH last night and thought eff it. I know, I know, whether I picked up a drink or not doesn't change the outcome of the row etc. etc. I wouldn't mind, I felt guilty as hell buying it and guilty all night long drinking it to the point that I ended up throwing 2 cans away cos I wasn't enjoying it. So, the upshot is, I didn't want it, didn't enjoy it and so tonight I shall be thinking about this and will not be doing it tonight.

    Feel okay about myself today, looking forward to being free tonight and waking up tomorrow un-hung-over'ed.

    Congrats to all those on AFD3 and well done :D

  • Hi Jo

    Hope you and OH are friends again? I hate rows, they always seem to blow up over something really trivial!! Don't worry about not being totally AF, the fact you threw some of it away is good (but not in an MS way!) Good luck for today hun ((hugs))
  • Morning all

    AFD10 today for me. Getting near that danger time though (xmas and birthdays coming up). I'm determined not to drink though. I just love the novelty of being able to get up in the morning without my head banging and my stomach churning.

    Jo - don't let it knock you back. The minute I have a problem my thoughts turn to buying a bottle of wine. At least you stopped and thought about what you were doing.

    Eselt - I think you're inspiring. To come through all that and now be alcohol free a year is amazing.

    Second AFD for me today, I have a few nights out planned but I'm hoping that I will have at least one more for this week, better than nothing I suppose.

    Good luck everyone!

    Well done Miss Piggy on 10 days.:T

  • Ominously quiet on here this aft???

    I think am wavering and on the brink of calling for wine on way home, new mindset - if I drink it early it will have enough time to be out of my system by the morning :o oh dear :rolleyes: will try and resist!!!

    resist shoppy - early drinking just wipes out the total evening and you feel rubbish before going to bed (hangover starting) and rubbish when you wake up (hangover finishing).

    it's completely horrid weather here - would be tempted to do mulled wine if I had the right spices!
