    Thank you HB and GK, I appreciate your support. Another day done. It seems a long month already but 1/3rd complete.

    Tomorrow is another no brainer due to early driving sunday and same Monday, so its a push for Sunday not to give in. I will avoid the alcohol aisle in T8sco.

    I laughed at your comment HB - Reality can suck, who knew?! :)

    10/31. My Drink Less app is looking very green for this month, a red day would spoil the appearance, must not give in!

    I had a stressful few hours this afternoon, making me experience a full range of negative emotions. At the height of it, I didn't once think I need a drink. It was when I calmed down, I thought wine would be good tonight, but replaced by, I can't im on AB's and driving. Eliminated.

    Ok Cuppa has drunk my Cuppa, so its bedtime. Night all.

    CuppaTea: you are doing brilliantly. It's easy to skate past things and not think about things, but I do think it's important to stop and think, and shake things around a bit to look at them properly.

    11/28 for me today.

    Cuppa tea , Ijust downloaded the Drink Less app :eek: It’s grim reading for me. Although am on holiday for a few day am going to try to rein it in a bit. I need to get out of the red.

    Thank you for all the holiday good wishes, I told OH if he wants to go for a walk this morning then I am not and having a rest, am still in bed being lazy. I can’t do this at home as have to get up for doggy walks.

    Green Karen I admire you for being vegan. One of my DS’s has been vegan for a couple of years now and it has really opened my eyes. We eat some vegan meals now. I now don’t drink milk but can’t give up the cheese. Meat is still eaten but so much less. Our vegan nights are going to increase when I get home. Have been trying to perfect a good soya bolognese. I had one in Majorca a few years ago and it was amazing. My last resort is to try the dried soya, have not been successful so far with the frozen stuff, although Jamie Ol*vers lentil one is very nice. I have so many recipes on Pintr*st to try when I get home.

    No more afds to report as am away, but will be cheering everyone on from here. I have decided no day time drinking whilst am here, one cocktail and wine with dinner. I will log it all on my new app. Happy Saturday everyone :)
    Total weight lost 6.5/73lbs starting yet again. Afds August 10/15. /8 Sept.

    ArsenalBarnie, you're on holiday, so red days are allowed, its sometimes a herculean effort for that to not continue once home.

    I've been using DrinkLess since last September and its interesting to look back. There is a definite pattern to my drinking and which days I do it on, which is highlighted more by the red and green.

    I have only managed 8 consecutive days last year with it, so I am on new territory at the moment.


    You may have noticed I am posting more here, I do tend to do that when I am on the straight and narrow and less when I am off the wagon. Obviously!!!

    Hope everyone is having a good weekend. My AB's finish on Monday, so from Tuesday onwards the real test begins. But that will be Day 14 so I will need to get that smiley..........:)
