    Not Af, but then had no plans to be, I'm a not on a school nite type of girl.!!

    That's me usually Puzzcat (although fortunately I don't have to go to school anymore:D). But tonight we've been to an evening reception and I volunteered to drive so amazingly I've clocked up an AF night on a Saturday. Almost unknown.

    5AF please Shaggy.

    Morning All :hello:

    9 AFDs
    for me.

    It's a year since I joined this thread and a year since I started my alcohol spreadsheet. My speadsheet tells me that in the last year I have averaged 5 AFDs per week and 10 units per week :j well within government guidlines :D. This means that when I did drink I had about 5 units (a couple of glasses of wine!).


    Now I have a target to beat in the next 12 months, to better the above.

    Thanks for all your support in helping me to reach my goals:T

    I'm off to see what you've been up to.

    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.

    Thats why I was AF last night too :)
    This time I haven't smoked since 6th Jan 2014 and still going ok.
    Fingers crossed x
  • 8 AFDs for me please, Shaggy

    Congratulations on your AF progress and on your limited numbers of units. I'm unfortunately still having all my units on one night (Sat), and finding it impossible to give that up, although no problem being AF for the rest of the week (usually).

    Any tips on how to control that one alcohol allowed night are welcome. I know I should just give that one up completely, but it really is proving impossible.

    Have a good day everybody!

    xx

    Just popping in to say hi. Been struck down with the grumps last few days. Hopefully a long walk today will clear them out of my system.

    Well done Shaggy-your spreadsheet sounds impressive.

    Be kind to yourself everyone!

    :T:T:T That's a fantastic achievement shaggy, well done. I was only thinking earlier what a dark horse you are, because you're keeping our scores means I don't often notice how good yours are. Best wishes for the year ahead.
