      Hi hdb, Angelcakes, Roberta and Aunty Mame,
      How are you all? Aunty Mame, I am so sorry to here about your brother, you are so strong to be able to get through all of this, take care of yourself.
      I am still sipping passionfruit juice, after having a friend drop round with 2 bottles of wine, poured her a glass of wine and myself a juice, did'nt say anything, and that was that. Much easier than I thought it would be.
      Got to go, long phone conversation looks likely, usually a trigger for me, but then anything was, am doing OK tonight.
      Hope everyone is doing well, back tomorrow.:l
      Thank you all for your help and support.

        Elsa: good on you for sticking to the passionfruit juice (sounds yummy!! Wish I could get some here!!) ..... I myself feel that when I'm feeling strong, then I'm much more likely to adopt a much more low-key attitude to situations in which other people are drinking - as in pretending that I am a "normal person" who can take it or leave it and for now I'm choosing to leave it.

        I tried Red Bull the other day ......... I quite liked it! Raspberry flavoured. I had been a bit wary of it and I'm not quite sure why!!

        Lots going on for me but I'm dealing with it which I dont think I could have done a couple of months back. So I feel like I'm making progress!!

          Hi
          I've seem the adverts for Red Bull and always been put off, don't know why, I think it has caffeine in it, which is the only drug I've successfully managed to give up - two weeks of blinding headaches as a result and not really sure why I did it as I got no bad effects from drinking normal tea. Still continued to pour wine down my throat though, but I was being healthy as I drank decaff, not very bright.
          Take care.:l

            yes, well I've never been entirely consistent in my attitudes to healthy behaviours and what I put into my body either!!

              Me neither, Mame. If I'm not a good example, I guess I'm a horrible warning.

                Hi
                How is everyone doing today/tonight? The timezones on here always confuse me.
                Hope everyone has had a good day.
                I have made it to day 10 AF, I honestly can't remember when I last went this long without a drink, it must be the best part of 20 years. I have had a few thoughts about drinking tonight, I have a 3/4 full bottle of wine in the kitchen and another one unopened from when my friend popped round. (I did'nt have any of it.) But I talked myself out of it tonight, I feel so much better without the alcohol I don't want to give in tonight. I can't say NEVER yet, thats still too scarey a thought, but not tonight.
                Take care.:l

                  Morning all...it's Thursday 19th 8.45am down under...which means Day 19 for me.
                  Elsa - Go you!!! Really, really great work on sticking to passionfruit juice. I think it gets a little easier each time I do something AF.
                  Mame - I would ONLY ever drink Red Bull if it was mixed with vodka - and it would usually be after 1am in some bar...a kinda 'pep up'.But I would NEVER drink it usually - doncha know that stuffs bad for us??! I think I would hold some overwhelming guilt about the physical damage I did binge drinking & smoking and therefore would try and be super healthy at other times...I think I get it now...if I went out & drank nothing but Red Bull all night I'd consider it very healthy!!!
                  Roberta, hdb - how are you guys going???
                  It's gonna be a hot one here today...I'm taking the kids to the library.

                    Good Morning Angelcakes, its 10:30pm Wednesday here, and after two hours of reading about cell signalling pathways (that was fun!!) I am off to bed.
                    Congratulations on 19 days, I really hope to reach that myself, just doing the math, I am a little slow, so you have stuck to the No-bender challenge from day 1, thats a real achievement.
                    Have a great day.

                      Mornin, afternoon or evenin all

                      Its Thurs 7:40am here and been AF all week. Well done Elsa, 11 days today you are doing fantastic (I'd pour the open bottle down the sink if I was you - a sealed one is difficult but an open one is horribly tempting x) Well done angelcakes on day 19! and please send some of your gorgeous weather to us in the UK is very wet here at the moment x Aunty Mame, thinking of you at the moment so sorry your brother is so poorly.

                      I think red bull has started to expand their range, I went with a friend to a pamper day at a local gym and they had red bull cola there, I must admit I have only had it with vodka many many moons ago when I used to go clubbing until the early hours and it was always as a keep me awake drink.....like I say many moons ago!

                      Have a good day all, good luck everyone

                        Hi
                        hdb, you are right, the opened bottle is calling me tonight, I haven't gone to it yet, and I know I should pour it away, but I can't quite bring myself to do it just yet. I keep telling myself one more night, just do one more night, and if I carry on doing that eventually the wine will go off and be undrinkable anyway. Have got home from work and logged strait on here to get the drinking thoughts out of my head, hopefully they will pass soon, I don't want to have to start all over again and let myself and everyone here down.
                        With the wind howling outside and the rain coming down vertically I think a hot chocolate would hit the spot more than cold wine anyway. Enough of my rambling, I've talked myself out of it for now.
                        Hope everyone has had a good day, take care.:l
