Thank you all for such lovely replies.
Sadly my little town is such a backward place every road in to town from one particular direction goes past a supermarket. BUT that is no excuse. The supermarket does not force me to but the alcohol :-D
I can't believe how positive I am feeling. From my dieting days I know how easy it is to think everything in the garden is rosy and then get thrown a curve ball BUT I'm also finding I'm having times where drinking/not drinking isn't at the forefront of my mind.
What an inspiration this site is !! (And it's now 114 hours alcohol free!!)
