  • Hi Smelly Socks,

    It's an alchohol free day :)
  • ah, thank you very much janjan :) How many of those have you managed so far?

    So is this forum for alcoholics or people who want to cut down on their boozing?
  • Well done Healthylifestyle,

    Like you, I am having the weekend off, although I am spending most of it with people that don't drink so I may even knotch up an AF Saturday :eek: which will be the first I can remember in years!!

    Look forward to tales of big knickers and dodgy jumpers next week and possibly going for another 4 day challenge.... who knows!!

    5 for December for me now Shaggy...many thanks.

    All the best everyone.

    Well I'm a noob too, but I'd say the clue is in the thread title. ;) It's for people who don't drink any more, people who want to quit and people who want to cut down. The link with the Debt Free subforum is there because as many of us know drinking too much is not cheap and has caused financial hardship, as well as other problems, to many.

    Oh and you can check the daily updates (in red) to see how everyone's getting on.
  • AF for me today please Shaggy.

    Morning :santa2:

    Another AFD in the bag for me and I'm looking forward to awarding myself one of these :xmassmile. What is really really sad is that I really really want to earn one of these :rudolf: :rotfl:

    I also want to say a big THANK YOU to everyone on this thread for just being here in December, I know I would be drinking more if it weren't for this thread.... there I've said it now....:cool:

    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.
