    Welcome marahouti.:)


    My DH isn't a heavy drinker but he rarely has an AFD (Alcohol Free Day) so, at first, it was hard to abstain when he was enjoying a drink. But you've managed 70 days and it really does get easier over time. It's not that you won't fancy a drink occasionally but it'll become more of a habit to do without. Do you intend to give up completely or not just at the moment. Maybe you don't know? No matter. Just keep posting whatever you decide. We won't judge but we will support.:)

    Thank you everyone for your welcome.
    Maman I don't want to give up completely; my aim is to drink moderately on social and special occasions only. However, I have found that on 'drinking' days I am drinking too much. If moderation isn't possible for me I may have to give up.
    Cathybird I don't think I'm ready to commit to an annual target just yet.

    :wave:hello marahouti; I've found this thread to be so helpful in my endeavours to cut back on my alcohol consumption.

    12/28, please Shaggy. Our visitors have come and gone.
    I did have some wine but not much at all so I'm becoming less and less bothered about drinking wine, (never thought I'd say that :rotfl:).

  • Got to 14/25 so far! I have a couple of days in hand for Easter, but DH not drinking has been a massive help in socialising while AF.
  • Morning all.

    Honey bear thank you so much for all the advice. I will get a kong. My other lab is sneaky and will nick it off him (she is food obsessed), so will get her a little one. Have ordered chicken paste on the shopping and will stuff it with paste and his beloved liver treats and freeze it. He did come and sit by me last night. He has been avoiding me since the vets, so have been sitting with him in the kitchen area where his bed is. We have a living room and a kitchen with living area in. He doesn't come into the living room anymore as he likes to nick the best dogs bed. He had lots of ear rubs and blowing on his neck. I think he may be missing my DD. She is away in Asia and not back for another week. She always gives him lots of fuss and sits with him.

    On the af front basically there aren't anymore to add unfortunately. Have had a cr*ppy weekend. Not too excessive but wine lead to the munchies. My eating has been terrible, have been ravenous for some reason. My DD not being here means there is no one to nag me! On a stress note she is white water rafting and blissfully unaware that the airline she is flying back with have gone bust. Not sure what is going to happen there but think insurance will cover it.

    Can I do 3 sncplease Shaggy
