  • Evening All,
    Can't believe i've not been on here for a week sorry about that I cant even think were the weeks gone.

    Confession time for me Im up to 22 Af free days for september please shaggy,
    I to had a wedding on saturday and but I did drink the champagne but not the wine with dinner. Stayed the weekend in a hotel and I did have 3 glasses of wine with lunch.
    But am back on the wagon and feeling good about that.

    October Target for me shaggy is 20 going on holiday for nearly 4 weeks. When i'm away i'm going to change a few things this time, I'm not going to have wine in the villa i'm not going to drink unless with food and only when we go out.

    Have a good evening everyone

  • Evening all.

    Totally fell off the wagon this weekend and drank 3 days in a row. Had bells ringing tonight which I haven't had for a long time when I've tried to have an AF day, I think it must be because I've spent the last few days drinking. have resisted though and I'm pleased I'll wake up clear headed tomorrow, unlike today!

    Can I declare day 14 please Shaggy, and I'd like to do the full SNC this week please bearacus, day 1 today thanks :)
  • :wave: Hi everyone, im back from my hols, had a brillant time, very relaxing. Just skimmed through all the posts since ive been away, wowsers there are some serious AF days here for Sept, well done everyone :T I had hoped to start this week off by joining the SNC challenge however as soon as i came home from work i opened a bottle of wine and had half the bottle over the course of this eve.
    I really feel that i will struggle to get back into the AF way of things again, (having only nothced up 2 AF in Sept) but will start afresh in Oct, so with this in mind Shaggy can you put me down for 17 AF for Oct please. Im dreading going back to fat class this week, but i need to, ive got a stone to lose til reach goal weight and was hoping to get this off before Xmas. So new month = new starts
    It’s not what you have in your life but who you have in your life that counts

  • Have bells clanging like anything so going to have bath and early night as don't want to give in to them.
    Not sure this weeks SNC is going to be easy as have a few of the types of days at work after which I would normally have a 'reward'. Might have to change some routines? Finding this thread very helpful, thank you all.
    Getting there...slowly! :D

    GC : must do better
    NSD: very rare

    No matter how slow I go I am lapping everyone on the couch.

    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.
