    No need for apologising! IMO, it's a good idea to think through the month and decide when you plan to drink like birthdays, nights out, visitors etc. That stops us falling back into habits of just drinking every night for no particular reason.

    Hi Everyone
    :wave:
    and welcome to the lurkers/newbies and anyone else!

    At close of business for Feb i achieved a total of 24 Af days please Shaggy. Set my March target for 25 please, and a huge thanks for all the scores on the doors and daily messages. Ive nudged into March with 48 Af days under my belt and im also 19 pounds lighter and gained a few pounds in my purse with the huge reduction in wine sales....im sure the sales in our local Tesco have gone down since Jan :rotfl:i dont mean to brag but want to share my good news, sometimes we just get caught up in all the things we didnt do so i thought i would share the things i have done.
    1 AF for March please Shaggy

    I've on metronidazol for the next 5 days due to a dodgy wisdom tooth (in quite a large amount of pain). So, I have no choice but to be AF for the next 5 days. Is that cheating?

    No :D Everything has an upside even a sore tooth!
    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.

    1 AFD Pleased because I went to a friends pamper party where there was lots of wine. Bright and breezy this morning after no alcohol! Thanks to everyone who runs the thread!

    Good morning all

    1 for me please Shaggy

    Chloris - well done on staying AF last night!:T

    Phoenix - hope tooth is feeling better soon

    Bit odd here this morning. Piglet very tearful when I left him at school :( He's normally so happy to go in but today he kept saying he missed me and wanted to come home.:( His teacher took him off me and said she'd call if there was a problem. I don't know...they're a constant worry.

    Am hoping I will do better on the AF days this month. Am rejoining slimming world tomorrow night as my biggest jeans are getting rather tight!!:rotfl:
