Hello,

And well done everyone!!!

Surprisingly no bells tonight. So that is 72h challenge achieved. Also I am going to be on holiday from tomorrow until the end of the month and all those days will be AF (I will be with BF ) Total for the month is then 29 of 31 as I fell off the wagon twice.

Fay - thank you for great scoring
GG - thank you for scoring for November - I will aim for 30

Ive been AF for 9 days now, my mood has definitely improved, not sure if my appearance has, hold on let me look.......

Not much change, maybe less puffiness, I dont feel shaky anymore and my excema is improving...but why dont I have any extra motivation yet? Maybe I am actually lazy!!

Don't think so hun!!

Hi 115K - good luck.

Thanks to anyone / everyone who's counted down the hours.....i think I'm safe now, cos having just read there's 5 hours to go I'm thinking, I've done 67/72 (& reckon I've been awake for 58 of them) don't give in NOW! Plus I've just had huge dinner, tho' there was a dodgy few moments when I called up to DD that I was dishing up then noticed 2 raw chicken bosoms wrapped in bacon sat on the counter that I thought had been in the oven for 20 mins......

So, 3 days in a row *astonished* tho' only 4 in total this month

Won't be af tomorrow, not because of above but it's skittles, & that's "fun" drinking 'cos i never have a lot (esp if I'm driving :rotfl:) & it's a good laugh in good company. In deference to those who are af i'll try not to have the customary couple of glasses of wine when I get home!

If not back later will be tomorrow - good luck everyone for this evening!

Snap, just like me! The 72hrs have flown by! Just the usual thought popped in at 5pm as usual. Felt v.tempted and drank a large glass of orange squash and it disappeared meaning that.......

Day 12 for me and another 8 to go to hit the target for this month.

Had a huge tea of pie, chips and peas and now scoffing a billy bargain box of quality street! Need to stop as feeling a bit sick now!

I'm reading everyone's posts but have zero energy for any meaningful responses, sorry

Still AF & clutching a lovely mug of tea to keep warm

I might have a social thing tomorrow - no AF if I go but if it doesn't happen I will be AF, promise
