    PLEASE PUT YOUR TARGET AFDs IN A BOLD RED FONT and good luck! (and if I've made any mistakes, don't be shy, please let me know!)
    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.

    I do wonder if my drinking escalated due to boredom...now I'm filling my life a bit with things I don't get half the urges to drink that I was getting.

    That is exactly what MrR says. It's all down to boredom and habit. Well he won't be bored for much longer!

    Well done on all the AF'ness flying around the thread. :T:T:T:T

    Afternoon everyone

    Well, didn't finish the wine off last night so was quite proud of myself!:)

    Going swimming tonight so alcohol definately off the menu tonight too as just want to slump with a cup of coffee after doing 30-40 lengths.

    However.....school hols coming up...hope that doesn't cause me to fall back into old ways a bit. Especially next week as am doing lates at work so me and munchkin will have no reason to get up early in the mornings!:eek:
