Thanks BB for your hugs and anyone else I haven't thanked.

No alcohol bells ringing for me today or this evening and definately AF tonight making it 2 so far.

Congrats jo for how well you have done so far!

1/2 for me please NTC :T

Today was never in much doubt, especially after I'd been to the gym...twice

Went at lunch time to do some weights, then again after work for cardio.

Never done that before :cool:

G'night

AF for me today, please ntc.

I heard a few bells ring earlier but ignored them. I'd have really enjoyed a drink but I'm one of these people who either have to drink or not. I can't do just one glass so having AF days suits me. After having a week off I've got to push myself to jump back on the wagon but I will!!

Good luck everyone, keep at it!

Probably a stupid question, but do you guys count an alcohol free day if you have had an “alcohol free” beer or wine?

The reason I ask is most AF alternative’s I’ve tried have between 0.05% and 0.5% alcohol when you read the small print!

I know the lower end of this spectrum is next to nothing, and never going to give you any sort of buzz, but I was wondering if there’s a percentage limit to constitute it being called alcohol free? How do people who are T-Total view these kinds of drinks?

0/2 for me so far. Glad to see everyone else is getting off to a marvelous march start! Thought I'd manage it yesterday but somehow found myself in a pub.

Still here and posting and don't want to let the side down so I need to pick things up. Wednesday will defo be an AFD. 16 didn't sound like many!

fell at the first hurdle so whilst im dissapointed it wasnt a bottle of wine..just a small stumpy beer which is 1.5 units not good but could have been worse..what do you all do when you want a glass/beer ..also i have found this tip helps me if i pop to the pub..which is a rare but when you get in order a soft drink (squash is cheeper than coke) as you tend to drink your first drink a lot faster than normal xx

hi noynoy

Some folks drink AF beer - as I don't drink beer - then I can't comment but I did get a few in for over the holidays - so as far as I know it tastes similar/same - some of the others will know better

Just forget about yesterday and think good things about today and well done that it wasn't a whole bottle of wine!! Progress, so you should feel that you did good even if you didn't do AF.

Everyone seems to have rediscovered their favourite soft drinks - watch out cos this might start them off - xx
