    11/22 please

    Trying to limit drinking to with best friends or family but dreaded work drinks rearing their head again.

    I think it was HB
    Or Shaggy that gave the advice that if you're not drinking people are unlikely to notice that you're not on the same wavelength for the night.
    I may try it. I'm not sure. I just know that I don't want the anxiety that group drinking brings to my life.
    Some very not nice people in my office and I need to keep my true feelings in which is a difficult task with alcohol on board.
    2017- 5 credit cards plus loan
    Overdraft And 1 credit card paid off.

    2018 plans - reduce debt

    Elusive Lucy I hope your OH makes a good recovery now he's back at home.

    Well pride comes before a fall and I was persuaded to the pub for 'just a quick one' by a work colleague. 4 drinks later we'd set the office to rights so I drunkenly weaved home and bought fish n chips! Only day 2 of my attempt to lose weight so that was not the plan and will need to rejig my planned AFDs now.

    Will have one or two tonight - another work thing. Not 4 though!!

    Will be AF tomorrow too.

    That sounds familiar. Hope you enjoy the sunshine today too. I find it more difficult when it's sunny not to crack open something on the patio.
    Live for the moment and plan for the future

    Everyone Welcome! It's never too late to join....

    Please highlight your AFDs in Red

    Don't hesitate to let me know if I've made a mistake!
    What do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.
