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

Bring on the D+B, traditional lemonade, fresh OJ and Ribeana. I'm now drinking more of these than alcohol for a change - not worrying about the sugar content as yet (that'll come later on!)

Good morning everyone.
So glad March is getting off to as good start for most.
Chriz1000...I sometimes drink the alcohol free beer......especially in the garden in summer...and I still class myself as AFree.
Excellent Fay...2days:T

Noynoy ....if you have a read back through this thread and even the first one there are loads of ideas for different AF drinks.At the moment my favourite is lime cordials and sparkling water....very refreshing.

WBF...put the last two days behind you...you still have 29days left to pick your 16 from.Go for it today...Day One ...you can do it:D

Budgie...hope your home life is going OK....you are doing really well under the circumstances.Take care...

TRC..Gym:eek: Twice :eek: ..Well done..

Have a good day
See you later
Love Mollypollyxxxx

Love Mollypollyxxxx

Morning all

All going well here, although the beer bells seem to be getting louder :eek:

I'm sure if enough AF beer was consumed then you might feel effect, like 100 bottles or something I remember on Big Brother some years ago they made one of the housemates eat loads of boxes of chocolate liquers and he ended up feeling the effects, also quite sick I think!

Morning all

Having trouble getting on the scoreboard this month. Bit of stress at home which, whilst not being so bad for me, is compounded for poor Esther, having the enourmous drag factor of being married to me......... poor lass.

Still to trouble the scorers, so 0/2 please NTC

Those bells those bells - mine have been a clanging.

Jo I locked my purse in my drawer at work last night - back to not having any means of going shopping - or at least a trip to the office first then the supermarket if I felt the need.

Confession time and don't send me to hell - don't think I have ever tried dandielion and burdock.

Stripey fizzy water (18p for 2ltrs) and cordial for me
Or tonic ice and lemon
Or tomato juice and all the stuff

Morning all

Will catch up on thread later. Hope everyone is doing well.

2 for me please NTC !

Disturbed night with little boy so feeling bit tired today. Must get my backside in gear and get something done. Would help if I turned the computer off!:o

Have good days all - catch up later!!

Morning all - 1 AFD for me pls NTC. I like your idea of days pledged...makes me feel I'd be letting everyone down not just myself if I don't make it....cunning! :cool:

I've got a 50% record already - better than the whole of Feb :rotfl: . I usually find the first day easy tbh (erm, so why not do it more often? :rolleyes: ) am hoping today not TOO testing - tomorrow the dreaded Day 3 will be the tester, but let's get through today first.....

Fedupski so sorry to hear about the car again....bummer. You're doing well to keep off the sherberts in the circs, fairly sure I know where I'd be....:o

Jo you're on a roll! (lunchtime already?). Sorry those bells are getting louder though, I was hoping they'd be on fade-out by now.

Noynoy I think you did well. I'd be happy to be a daily drinker if only I could keep it to a sensible limit. I was virtually a daily drinker through the whole of Feb but am ashamed / horrified to say every day was way to excess (always planning on the next day being the start of AF-ness......). The "final fling" syndrome...used to do the same with cigs, choklit, etc, etc....

It's taken me forever to write this (work - the curse of the drinking classes) so prob. loads of posts in the meantime so sorry if this now out of synch. Place it at 9.10am!

Hi to anyone I've not mentioned by name - Budgie I don't know how you keep track of everyone!
