Well another AF day for me. Decided this morning that, although Thurs-Sat are my 'allowed' days, I wasn't going to bother. I've had a Mrs Doyle type voice in my head all day going "Go on go on go on go on go on, ye will ye will ye will ye will ye will" but have managed to override it. Very tiresome though fighting with a negative voice in your head.

Proud of you. I know it's tiring fighting the nagging voice, but when you finally know that you've beaten it, does it not give you a bit of a boost, knowing that you're mentally giving it the finger?

Evening all

Wow, that took some catching up with the thread. You guys have been quite prolific again since I was last on.

I've been thinking about that well known saying - a problem shared is a problem halved - over the last few days. This thread is certainly ringing that saying true for me. It seems that the thread is sucking in all that negativity and sending it into some kind of alco black hole. Either that or Lurky has got the weight of the world on his shoulders.

It has been a great source of release to have someone, well, many ones actually, to share my issues with and it has made the challenge a lot easier than I otherwise would have imagined.

I think everyone has done a really great job. If you haven't met your target don't worry, winebox is ready, well...nearly ready to keep the scores on the doors, but don't forget that if AFJ hasn't gone so well, at least the seed has been sown and you are stepping in the right direction.

Another AFD day for me Lurky so that makes 28/29

Right, off to bed. Didn't mean to stay up this late, can't blame the sluggishness on the booze anymore so it must be the late nights.:o

Until tomorrow,

TRC

(and some will power that I managed to find from somewhere) I have hit my target!! So that's 13/13 for me Lurkio.

I'll be lurking avidly in next two days and congratulations (in advance) for all the AFD days we've achieved between us.:T

Another one for me Lurky me dear - 16 now

Well it's 26/29 for me (and no drunken cycling, hurrah!). My target was 28/31 but am going to have a drink tonight and maybe tomorrow and not beat myself up about it as on my non-AFDs this month I've had practically nothing. I think I'll stick around for Feb too just to make sure I've got this damn thing under control and until I stop thinking about pints at work. So WB please put me down for 16/28 (and 56 units total for the month) which I'm hoping to exceed (the target, not the units!). Well done everybody, am really impressed by the willpower being displayed on here at the mo.
