    Morning :hello:

    I managed another Friday AFD. It was easy as I was watching Murray, so no bells :D

    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.

    Good morning all, welcome back Bearacus, glad to hear your Mum is on the mend.
    Happy to report 25 afd Shaggy.
    A previous post made reference to drinking on holiday, I have a holiday coming up with some family members who can really drink. I will have to develop a few strategies to stay on my chosen path. The bells have clangged a couple of times over the last few days. I can only remind myself of the fact that I dont like the person I become when I drink, nor do I like the after effects.
    When people ask me why I no longer drink, I tell them it doesnt agree with me, I dont tell them that it has taken me 30 years to discover this fact!
    Enjoy your weekend and your challenges.
    Love to all
    DM

    Hello everyone, I'm back online again at home - Have been rubbish on the AFDs, although have generally been moderate but some every day. Well done to everyone doing so well on here.

    Bearacus - it's good your mum has had the surgery and is hopefully on her way to recovery.

    Well I managed the social event today (party with lots of food and alcohol) and decided I didn't really want to drink during the day so I'm still alcohol free this month.

    So thats 25 days for me please and now a run of 47 days alcohol free. I was keeping a 101 things to do in 1001 days list and one of my ambitions was to be alcohol free for a month and I'm really chuffed I'm making it to 2 now. Another was to free a helium balloon which I also did today :rotfl:

    :wave:

    Back from my holidays. Not AF but definitely moderate compared with past experiences. Haven't had time to read back through posts while I've been away but will catch up soon. Back on the wagon on Monday and hoping to just about meet this month's target.

    If there's a SNC, please put me down for 4.
