Maybe its just early days for me on the cutting down road...? Although I think I covered most of the triggers during the AF days last week, and this week is certainly challenging me as well....

I just love the feeling of waking up and not telling myself off and promising that tonight I won't drink and then stopping at the shop for that bottle... :mad:

I'm also saving the money I would have spent and am determined to raise enough (won't take long the amount I was spending...) to treat myself and best mate to a girly break... (over a weekend obviously so I can partake without missing my AFD targets..)

I've been trying without success to cut down for well over 6 months with no success at all, the inspiration is this thread.

Evening all! I'm finding the bells don't ring all that loudly it's just that they ring fairly regularly out of habit. I'm having a bit of a tv night tonight while putting some stuff on ebay and catching up with emails. A perfect evening for a little drinky! Problem is, I don't even need to stop off at the shop, I've got a duty-free shop in my living room.

Today is day 7 for me. I don't want to have to come back and change it later!

Have a great evening everyone.

You are all certifable

A thing I have noticed, although DONT quote me on this one

After day 2 or 3 of AFD's the bells do get a bit depleted.

However after a day of alcohol even after a month or so off - its torture

Is it worth it?

I am slowly beginning to wonder

Not that they don't sometimes shout randomly - but in all honesty after a couple of days they aren't generally so loud or so often

ok ok ok ok ok

bells are mega clanging cos I am about to leave wrok late and get takeaway on way home

---

argh

note to self

bells dont stop clanging

do not work late then head towards shops with a card or money


constant vigilence
:mad:

:hello:Hi all

8 for me now, please, 40SM. Hope everybody's feeling happier, esp BB. Have a good evening everybody.

Must get on. I've got to help DD3 with homework then finish off a project which I thought I'd finished, but got a bit extra to do on it today :mad:. Reminds myself of the money I'm earning and saving from being AFD :money:

But I can't watch Mary Queen of Charity Shops :mad:

At least I've got some chocklit in :T
