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.0

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 ShaggyIt’s not what you have in your life but who you have in your life that counts0 -

NoEverything 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.0 -

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 schoolHe'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:
