For all those who can only do it one day at a time or one day sometimes . . .

Another day one for me. This year I have slipped back a bit. I was drinking just a little but every night. Well just a little, a miniature bottle of whiskey with diet coke. But I think thats two shots. What an expensive way to drink, but one way to stop myself at two shots. My local shop says a lot of people buy them, I wonder if its for the same reason as me. I've started on the wine again and now its all getting worse again.

I'm putting on weight, getting cellulite, feeling rough. Underactive thyroid symptoms getting worse. That could all be due to age I suppose.

So, today I'm off to a concert, leaving at 2.30pm and getting home around 12 hours later! I'm going with a friend who doesn't drink, her partner and son.

I need to lose some weight, get some control back, feel better.

Don't worry about tomorrow. It will take care of itself. You have enough to worry about today . . .

Hi Little Owl!

So true about not worrying about tomorrow, it will take care of itself. I know what you mean about buying booze in smaller amounts to control your drinking. At one point, I switched from buying the larger bottle of wine to the smaller one thinking that if I only have a small one open, and drink only half of that, it will be just 2 glasses. But, alas, I usually finished the whole bottle which I believe is more like 4 glasses. Plus, all those empties in my recycle bin....yikes! How embarassing when I took them to the curb. I would take them out after dark since the trash guys came early in the morning...but even if the neighbors didn't see all of those bottles, they sure did make some noise when going into the dump truck!
Have fun at that concert! It helps to be around those that don't drink. ODAT!
