    So day 15. That vaguely half way point. I think I may just have lost a little weight by not drinking. Which is one of those unexpected outcomes because I am sure I am eating more cake than usual. So being sober isn't really saving me any money yet but soon when I return to my wicked ways I will need to drink less because I'll have no tolerance which will be fun.

    But that is the major revelation of today. I am…

    My gosh?!

    When I thought hey I'll blog everyday that will be fine I forgot about the time I'd stay on brownies camp in a castle. No heating and no wi-fi. Plenty of mead I didn't drink.

    I think the challenge is getting better. I'm doing a little count down till November 1st but I mind drinking fruit juice at parties less and less. I'm not sure if i feel healthier and thinner or whether I'm just being optimistic…

    I know what everyone is thinking. I didn't post so I must have failed.

    I am delighted and very proud to say I actually survived the conference of free wine. The cancer Voices conference did mean that I was super tired because it was so busy and fun. So I slept very heavily but still made it to the Harvest Festival at Church like a trooper. 

    At the conference I even met a few more go Sober victims so we huddled together…

    This post will be short, I'm getting up at 5am to go to the Cancer Voices Conference at Gatwick. I am already so tired I had to count how many days into this issue am. The 3rd of the month would suggest the 3rd day Aphra!

    I am looking forward to the conference. It's a great chance to meet the wider Macmillan Community and to find out other people's hints and tips for life from around the country. It also will be…
