    Good luck Jo, I know its hard but there is NO REASON to drink today is there? Its Tuesday, it isn't anyones birthday or anniversary, you've not got friends round, money stress is reducing as OH is helping with the groceries, its not a special occasion (oh apart from holby on later!) etc etc. You don't have to drink- you know you don't. You don't want to drink- you know you don't. Drink doesn't like you- you know it doesn't. It frightens you and makes you anxious and guilty. Just a few hours to hold your nerve Jo- come on, promise to give you a massive virtual cheer if you get to 10.00 pm, and will even try and get technical and find some nice smileys as congrats. Jo whatever you decide best of luck, we'll all be here for you.
  • Come on Jo, you can do it! Lets all have an AF night!

    I'm at work at the moment and EVERYONE is talking about drink and what they're having tonight. I'm unusually quiet!

    Hi all,

    Thanks for your support :A :)

    Well I've just started my enforced AFD, DD1 walked in at the very same moment that OH rang, somebody was obviously looking down on me....got a funny feeling it was you MP :think: :eek:

    Right, off to make Thai chicken with chillies and basil whilst drinking orange squash....stopped off at Icelands and bought a 9 pack of mint feasts for later (maybe I shoulda bought 2 :eek: :eek: :rotfl:)

    Fay, see you in a little while :rotfl:

  • Yay!! Well done Jo! Enjoy your ice cream!

    WB - 10/16 AF for me please. You're doing a cracking job on keeping the scores. I'm struggling just keeping track of my own days!

    Slightly odd maybe, but I've tried AF Becks a couple of times now, just 1 bottle each time, and I've felt a worse 'hangover' after it than on normal alcohol - headache afterwards, bad sleep, wake up feeling sick. Maybe just coincidence but it's put me right off.

    Back to the fresh orange and fizzy water combo...

  • Well done Jo for hanging in there and getting through the cravings!

    Haven't been around much today as busy with ebay listing and selling.

    WB can you put me down for 12 AFD when you have a spare moment tomorrow?

  • Hi everyone,

    Jo well done on resisting the alcohol, mint feasts are a much better option. :p Though it is a little cold. Hope you are ok, take care, love and hugs. xxxxx
    Winebox glad your little dog is doing so well. I am on 17 af days now. The end of the month is getting closer. Take care, hugs, xxxx

    Hope everyone else is ok? Though it has been quiet the last few days.
    Take Care, hugs to everyone.
