Hello all

I got 18 or 19 (did it three or four times just to check) - Did the same or a similar thing last year and it was much much higher - my habits have changed a bit but not enough!

Sorry FUAS - altered the sheet now Well done on the extra stars

HB hugs me dear

That is progress Fay. :T
You may like to print out the questions and do it again in say three months time.

Mine was 33, but I was admitted to hospital as an emergency patient with a 50% chance of survival.

17 for me, mine were highish scores in the top half but zeros in the bottom, probably similar to others on here I would have thought....

Yeah, I was similar to that.

Am somewhere between sulking & p'ed off so AF has gone out of the window :mad:

2 and a bit years ago I was a 28. Now just 2!!

I will always be a 2 because of this question:

9. Have you or someone else been injured as a result of your drinking?

(0) No
(2) Yes, but not in the last year
(3) Yes, during the last year

Still, I am happy with that.
I still have a huge drink problem, and always will do, if I have a drink. If I don't drink, that problem doesn't manifest itself.

Hi all, just a quick pop-in...I know it may seem early in the day to a lot of you to declare an afd but I survived the greatest challenge of any working day - I didn't buy a bottle (OK, 2 ) on my way home. Every night I go to bed full of resolve for the next day, then at some point during the morning (sometimes before I'm actually out of bed....) I start to justify why the next day would be a better day to start (start? start what, pillock?) & into the shop I slide. Today I came home & had a mug of tea which took far longer to drink than that first glass of wine! Felt very tired without my pick-me-up but seem to have come through that now. There's a half-bottle of red from last night but I'm not interested, for some reason. If I was even vaguely tempted I chuck it but having it there means OH can have it tomorrow he always pops round on a Friday & I won't have to open a new bottle for him & then have lots over. Method in my madness.

The recycling is collected tomorrow; I've put the box out already (sometimes they come v early). How many times have I tried to sneak in Thursday night's bottles at 7a.m. on friday without the telltale "chink chink" of glass, wondering if the neighbours are watching..... At least I'll be saved that ignominy (is that a word? or did I just make it up?)

So that's £8 saved in a single day - god, the price of wine these days, eh?

I'll have to catch up later - no my thanks button isn't broken but I read thro not logged in & don't have time right now to go back.

Hope everyone who wants to be af today is, so far at least, will be back later x

Well done, winebox :T

Getting back into it after a long non-AF time is tough so it's really good to have you back posting & not buying wine - yay for you! :j

ps.yes, ignominy is a word

My next door neighbour puts out his recycling box each fortnight with 8 full size whisky bottles in it and some other tins and bottles of A

Hmmm.... alongside going to the pub each afternoon for a few pints. No wonder I can hear him shouting while he is on the phone most nights. He also has some serious health concerns too.

I expect all this consumption worsens his health too

Well done Winebox.:T

Afternoon again...

I'm with you on the naughty bench tonight HB... maybe we could share and then we wouldn't consume so many units..! Why when i'm non AF the majority of you are and vice versa.. I'm beginning to think you don't like me....:eek:

Fay, I agreed with the majority of your 'debate' with GC, i could really relate with what you were saying.. although how you were saying it at that time of night is a complete mystery to me.. i'm always zzzzzzzzzzzz at that time..

Don't forget guys forum's down at 10 tonight...:eek::eek::eek: won't bother me, i'm nearly always in bed by then...
