Heigh Ho! Nicely dug out of Lurky! Don't worry winebox - I'm really not scary at all! Been lurking (must run in the family!) on here every day since I clambered aboard the AFJ wagon and just gotta say the cameraderie on here is awesome! Congratulations to everyone on their achievements in January and bring on February - raaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Now then, where did I put that cast iron frying pan .................:rotfl: xxx

Oh Esther,

So glad to hear from you.

You know what they say: "Behind every great man is an even better woman".

Well done on your achievements too and good luck for February, now Dear Lurky is not scoring perhaps you can hog the computer a little more and drop us a few posts.

He has done so well though to keep everyones spirits up and for coming up with the idea in the first place. Rewind 31 days and I never thought I'd be af, I am getting the momentum though and have ordered the Alan Carr book and also Paul Mckenna's I can make you sleep. I really am going to try and be a better me. We shall see.......

So love to you and your family. xxxxxxxxx

P.s that roar was loud, I heard it from here :rotfl:
Take care xxxxxx

Well wasn't AF last night but only had one glass of wine which is so much better than before, I really can't imagin where I'd be without this thread, I know I don't post as much as some but whenever I have 'wine' thoughts I think of you all and having to explain why I got bladdered agian :eek: So THANKS to everyone for the support through January, especially Lurky for sorting all the totals out and thanks to Winebox for taking on Februarys totals Im gonna be joining you on the WOMO clause as well as my target.

Not sure if today will be AF, am hoping it will be but will check in later to update.

BB, I was always told it was 'Behind every great man is a very surprised woman', but then maybe my Mother was a cynic!

Lurky, my thanks to you for keeping score through January and motivating us all - I will not have a last AF day to add as I'm going to have wine with dinner but your challenge has really helped me.
Winebox, thanks for doing February's totals, weird to think that tomorrow is already a new month!

Squeezed in at the last minute to hit my target of 25 AFD's. Drank a bottle of red last night and woke up feeling truely !!!!!. I just never learn...but I'm not going to beat myself up...25 AFD...is amazing for me.


Winebox can you put me down for 23 for february.....I will be having a very rare week off from DS during feb so will save my days up for a few nights out.

Well done everyone.

Hi Guys,

Well afj to an end, well done everyone and here's to February's challenge. :beer: Cheers me dears.

Dear Lurky I have stayed af today, hey come on you wouldn't have expected anything less. Good thing is I'm not worrying about tempting fate anymore, I feel much stronger in myself and know that I won't drink. After reading the Alan Carr book reviews I keep muttering: alcohol is poison, but it is working. So as the lovely Esther M says: thankyou to himself you are a real inspiration and I am so glad you met your target, just look what we can all do when we set our mind to it, thats down to you my friend, so no more lurking around you are too important, hey and special. So love and hugs to you and Esther M and your family. xxxxxx

Pbt well done on achieving your target :T Hugs xxxxxx
Polaroid and Bhb where are you? Its the last day let us know you are ok. Love and Hugs xxxxxxxx
Ra if your lurking? Thankyou for your words of encouragement. Hugs xxxxxx
MollyPolly you are always there so thankyou. xxxxx

So to our merry little band here's to Feb and whatever it brings, good or bad we do it together.
And for January, "Have we done it? YES WE HAVE :T

Evening all!!

Yay for Lurky keeping score this month!!

Last day of the month...a saturday night...and I'm sober! Wahey!! Must admit to having horrible "Go and buy a bottle" thoughts earlier but I pushed them to one side and resisted. Been potty training so was sneakily going to use the stress of that as an excuse. Then felt a bit ashamed of myself.

February tomorrow and am feeling quite positive about being AF for all of feb. I know I didn't do ALL of January but at least I've drank a lot less than normal. And I feel a bit proud of that. And I'll be ECSTATIC to manage all of February!

So roll on tomorrow......
