As I had my hair restyled yesterday, they offered me a glass of wine and I said yes!! That then led to 2 bottles. I missed a meal I'd planned and been looking forward to all week and I've pulled a sickie at work today. I'd done 7 days and wasn't even thinking about AL. If I'd just said no to that offer of wine like I should have I'd be at work right now chatting about what a good time we all had at the meal last night. At least I definatly know now that I cannot moderate. xx

its things like that that we dont prepare for. out of the blue so you didnt have a plan in place. at least it has made you aware, maybe you can learn from it and keep your guard up. rest today and get back on board.

Hi time to change
you sound just like me.. we just have to say no to that first glass.. so hard but works
I had the same experience today - was offered a glass of wine and said yes.. but just as it was about to be poured said 'actually no I won't'... came that close
take care

Hya Time,

Been there, done that -thinking one will be alright. But look at the positive, yes you have learnt you can't moderate. Beware though, as I told myself that MANY times, only to have al tell me that THIS time it would be different. It has been ok to have 1 or 2 fewer times than I can count on the fingers of one hand...

Never mind, get back on the horse, so to speak. Seven days is an achievement, and one which you will surpass next time.

If you learned that, then BRAVO. I had a lot of pain and frustration along with an inability to stop drinking until I figured that one out. So the whole thing was worth it if you have truly accepted that point.
