Just be wary of something that I ran into. The desire of sitting back with a glass of wine when finished, to admire my handiwork. An iced tea or water is much better.
Ruby 2 you said this exactly how it was for me today , I need to be very honest with myself and everyone else . I potted up a total of 27 tubs ,baskets , containers of all shapes and sizes . My icing on the cake is a stone circle which I laid then a lovely black tub and a palm called
Trachycarpus fortunei, it looks amazing .
Heres my point as Ruby2 pointed out " I was looking out the window all proud and chuffed and the thought of a drink came across my mind .
Can I ask you guys who have been a while sober or anyone really why this happens , is it habit ? I mean there's no way I wanted to drink but the thought came automatically and it baffled and scared me .

Thanks
