I was just sending a little diary I had kept re feelings on not having a drink. Simple really – no feelings at all – no desire, no cravings, no feeling deprived.

I have been out for meals with friends and husband, I have had the family round and they were going on holiday, thus relaxing and giving the wine big licks!!

I drank water!! I feel quite proud of myself. There has been an open bottle of red wine, out of which my husband has a glass each evening, on the kitchen bar since I came to see you, there is still one there, and I haven’t so much as smelled it. Good eh??
