Well exactly LGJ, that is why we are doing this one day at a timeI, for example, will be very surprised if I don't drink wine tonight!!

Ah, sorry, had missed the new thread.

I am in, and consumed one glass of lemonade last night, hurrah!

ledodgyrobespierre · 22/08/2006 09:40

I was good last night too and didn't have any alcohol.

Gingerbear · 22/08/2006 11:05

hermykne lol, the first thing DD says when we sit down for dinner is 'daddy has beer, mummy has wine, and I have water'
I was alcohol free last night. Would like to say that I feel great this morning, but I think I need some more plasma to replace the ethanol in my 'alcohol stream'

i was good last night, it'll be the end of the week where i start to panic!

MrsFio · 22/08/2006 11:07

I had a night off and long may it continue...............

Gingerbear · 23/08/2006 09:38

another sucessful night for me. The weekend will be my weak point.

tribpot · 23/08/2006 10:23

I fell off the wagon last night, so am determined to get back on track tonight.

expatinscotland · 23/08/2006 10:24

How about just watering down the wine?

discovered something called summerfruit punch or similar, made by Schweppes, when we went camping last. Bought it for the children in an unusual display of generosity and was amazed to find it tastes exactly like Pimms. I swear-- just the same. I'd definitely rate it as an alcohol substitute.

Right

Monday failed miserably.

Tuesday, drank 4 pints of ice cold water before having some wine, but by then my back teeth were floating.

Wednesday. Really stressy day, but stuck to two glasses and when I wanted more, I went and drank a pint of water.

However I have just remembered why I drink in the evenings.

My DH snores like a pig and I had to move bedrooms last night to escape him, now if I had had that third glass of wine, I would not have heard a thing.

how are you doing girls? This thread has gone awfully quiet. I have been indulging at weekends (bottle of wine on Saturday, beer on Sunday) but teetotal through the week.
Finding it surprisingly easy!
