I've started a new thread @feelinglesstired @paintcolourchart @88expertprocastinator @Legssses
We're all at different stages, but we all want the same thing.
I'll post more tomorrow as it's late and I'm feeling tired, but I'm excited for tomorrow and for getting those af days achieved.

Also making that one time a bit more 'special' if that makes sense. So making wine a part of the evening rather than the focus, and buying an extra nice wine but less often. Having something else as the focus like the football last weekend (I got surprisingly into it!) or even some posh snacks is definitely helping. Intentional rather than for the sake of it/habit I guess?

Morning, tribe, how are we all doing?
@paintcolourchart I do that a lot - buy a more expensive bottle rather than 2 cheap ones. I've done that for a while in fact. How are you getting on ?
I'm doing OK. I wanted to abstain for 14 days but drank last Friday ( a lot), and Sunday was a gathering so again drank. So, 5 out of 7 days af. I'm going to try for an af weekend. Dh is away so a quiet one, hopefully 🤞

Well, I had my check up at the docs.
Cholesterol high, but not too high
My risk of a heart attack / stroke 11%
So, we're discussing statins
Got to have a liver blood test first - not looking forward to that 😣
If all ok, we can go ahead with the statins
Good news is that although you can drink on statins, it's not really recommended, so that's good for me - I wouldn't risk it
All or nothing here x

Morning, folks, how are we all doing?
All ok here. Statins haven't stopped me from drinking but I have only been having 1 bottle of wine a week. Nothing through the week so I'm pleased with that.
Weight slowly coming off and overall feeling great.
💪 ❤️
