    Hi escapism,

    Welcome! :wave: Good luck with your aims and hopes. You are here near the beginning of our June challenge so I'm sure 40 something mum will be happy to add you to our list of challengers if you want to set a target for June AFDs. Or there are some folks who prefer to have no target and count them up a day at a time.

    Will set a target of 8 AFD's, if thats ok :) Will hopefully be manageable :D

    Welcome escapism :wave: hope you enjoy being on the thread :)

    Thanks Fay for posting my message up, didn't think I'd be able to get online tonight but managed to prize DS off the pooter now for a couple of minutes.

    As Fay posted, the enzymes in my liver proved alcohol abuse and meant there are signs of damage, the figure was 56 but the range is 0-31. He said this isn't good but can be reversed by not drinking :rolleyes:

    So there we have it, Day 3 of an AF life :)

    Certainly didn't fancy drinking at ANY point today, but constant vigilance is the name of the game I guess..

    Thanks for all your kind words over the past couple of days :)

    40SM, please put me down for 3/30 :)

    Waves - hi escapism, nice name and welcome aboard the train!

    Jo, Hi hun, try not to worry too much and no alcohol should certainly help your liver. I am considering an AF life too, you're not on your own in the AF world either in the real world and in this virtual world.

    I've got your picture of me and you
    You wrote "I love you" I wrote "me too"
    I sit there staring and there's nothing else to do
    Oh it's in color
    Your hair is brown
    Your eyes are hazel
    And soft as clouds
    I often kiss you when there's no one else around

    I've got your picture, I've got your picture
    I'd like a million of you all 'round myself
    I want a doctor to take your picture
    So I can look at you from inside as well
    You've got me turning up and turning down
    I'm turning in I'm turning 'round

    I'm turning Japanese
    I think I'm turning Japanese
    I really think so
    Turning Japanese
    I think I'm turning Japanese
    I really think so
    I'm turning Japanese
    I think I'm turning Japanese
    I really think so
    Turning Japanese
    I think I'm turning Japanese
    I really think so

    I've got your picture, I've got your picture

    I'm turning Japanese
    I think I'm turning Japanese
    I really think so
    Turning Japanese
    I think I'm turning Japanese
    I really think so

    No sex, no drugs, no wine, no women
    No fun, no sin, no you, no wonder it's dark
    Everyone around me is a total stranger
    Everyone avoids me like a cyclone Ranger
    Everyone...

    That's why I'm turning Japanese
    I think I'm turning Japanese
    I really think so
    Turning Japanese
    I think I'm turning Japanese
    I really think so
    I'm turning Japanese
    I think I'm turning Japanese
    I really think so
    Turning Japanese
    I think I'm turning Japanese
    I really think so


    Turning Japanese
    I think I'm turning Japanese
    I really think so
