    Done 8 days AF since the 23rd lets see how many days I can manage in September.

    One side effect of not drinking at home in the evenings is that you don't buy so much tat on Ebay ;o)))))

    I've also been drinking like a fish, because of moving house etc.... but then in the small hours of Sunday morning I woke up with the sweaty, sick, frightened feeling and knew I'd reached a limit and had to come back here.

    Sorry to read that. :( I have been similar. I woke up yesterday and felt so physically tired and achy. I only managed 5 AF days in August but I didn't drink yesterday and am planning another AF day today.

    Hope everyone is okay.:A

    Morning All :hello:


    Managed a 6th day AF which means I finish August on 13 AFDs.

    I've been keeping a spreadsheet of my AFDs and units since last October (when I joined this thread).

    From my spreadsheet I can see that I had less AFDs in July and August than I did last December! Amazing - armed with this info I'll try and do better next summer th_smiley_sun.gif

    But today is a new bright day and I'm hoping to get a big number in September.

    What do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.

    Morning all, I've not been around for a couple of weeks but am back in the groove now. I've had mixed fortunes re af days but no disasters. I think there are around 20 pages of new posts since I last posted so I will try and catch up later.

    DB Thanks for running the August challenge. I managed 14 af days in total. Aiming for more in September.

    Jo Thanks for the pm. I wasn't far away.

    Everyone else, It's a brand new month and another opportunity to really get down to whatever challenge is facing you so good luck.
