Inch by inch we will get "there" sticky! Well done!

Hi Sticky - Look at you, 16 units and 5 AF! Wow, you are nearly there. So glad to see that you are doing this well.

Hi guys

My numbers were back up there again this week. Drank Thurs, Fri, Sat, Sun & last night, so only 2AF days. Quite a social weekend.

I'll aim to get back under 20 this week. Tomorrow the whole of Auckland will be partying as it's the opening night of the Rugby World Cup. There's a concert downtown in the afternoon a few of us will try & get into and fireworks before the first game. I'm not a huge rugby fan (I prefer soccer, despite being a kiwi!) but am getting into the party atmosphere.

We have a quiet weekend planned at this stage, but that could change...

My nal will probably run out within a month so will have to go to a doctor I haven't seen before to get an authority for a new prescription. That is an incentive to try and get the units down a bit more. I must update my graph too.

I hope you're all doing well.

Cheers
Sticky

Hi Sticky hang in there. Hope your figures start to wane more than wax. Go Wallabies! Enjoy the rugby but not too much

Good luck on the weekend sticky! I AM a rugby fan, despite being over here in the US, so my english boyfriend and I will probably be staying up until god knows when watching the games. Stupid NZ time zone !!

Hi all

I didn't get under 20, but 23 wasn't too bad. 9 of those were on Fri night, opening night of the Rugby World Cup. A group of us went to a bar in town to be part of the action. It was a beautiful day & town was packed! The powers that be grossly underestimated the number of people who would go into the city and the public transport system let us down. You've probably read about it in your newspapers, no matter where you live!! Being part of the atmosphere was fun.
One night I only had 1 beer, so was pleased with that.

We are taking our boys skiing at Mt Ruapehu, 4 hours south, from Sat-Mon. They have never skiied on a mountain before, only at an indoor ski slope. We are going with another family. The weather has not been great so hope we get a couple of days skiing in. Will try to limit the wines apres ski!

Nal on everyone.

Cheers
Sticky

Sticky, I gotta say, your life really seems like a lot of fun most of the time I want to go skiing!!! It's so damn expensive here though...not sure if it's any better in NZ.
As for your units I think you did very well! The rugby world cup is indeed a big drinking trigger for me and my boyfriend as well but so far so good...but if england france ends up being a semifinal all bets are off

Hi Sticky, good going considering all the socialising. Your number of drinks per drinking session is bordering on moderate which is great. Keep up the good work. Won't mention anything about the rugby considering the Wallabies dud start. Have a good week.

Sounding good sticky! I guess there will always be weeks where there is more on, than others, but I think the real turnaround happens when you realise that you don't have to drink. Have a great skiing holiday !

Hi all

Thanks for your posts, guys.
My units were 27 this week thanks to a boozy skiing weekend! Yes, skiing is b***** expensive in NZ too. We had 1 1/2 great days skiing. Lovely deep snow and a few snow falls which the boys loved. They want to know when we can go again, but it won't be before next winter. Stopped at some hot pools and did a couple of forest walks on the way home.

Hubby got charged with DIC (DUI) when we were away. He was just on the limit. He'll have to apply for a day licence for work. At least it wasn't me - I didn't go down to the pub to watch the rugby.

At my book club on Tues I was happy to stop at 2 units and not have more. The nights when I can do that are encouraging.

Tonight I am catching up with one of the girls I went to Thailand with. Last time we all caught up I was a messy drunk. The two other biggest drinkers can't make it tonight, so I hope to behave better. Definitely no shots!

On Monday my eldest son is turning 13 and he is having a paintball party on Sat & 2 friends to sleep over. I will probably just be a chauffeur - I don't think paintball would be my thing. Also our eldest is performing in a school production next week and has a main part.

Off to catch up with how others are doing.

Take care
Sticky
