5 AFDs for me for October. Glad to see everyone doing so well. Not sure why I can't thank posts at the moment.Can we just take it as read I didn't mean to offend you?0

Another one done tonight, the easiest this week so far. I even had a sniff of DH's Rioja (quality assurance reasons only;)) and wasn't tempted.
3AF for October and 3 for the SNC. Thanks both.0 -
Morning

ShaggyxWhat 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 -
Thanks for the heads up on this one, my friend just gave me box set and ive yet to watch it .....will make sure that ive not got any booze in the house!
It's a great series. But you will be shocked at the way they drink and smoke! I don't know if it relects reality..... the smoking does so I can believe the drinking does.What do we do when we fall?

Afternoon All,
I cant believe its the 6th of October already, does that mean Im getting old when time goes quick.
Sorry I havnt posted but have clocked up 4 AF days please shaggy.
Plan on being AF tonight but am going out so might cave in.
On the upside I have lost 11lbs since I started posting on here just over a month ago:):) just by not drinking alcohol (shows how much I drank before:eek:)
Hope you all have a good day.

5 days AF.
OH is in London for work, and was meant to be joining me being AF this month. So, whilst I was sitting down with a cup of tea to watch Grand Designs, she was having beers. Feel mildly miffed, but now laughing at her hangover whilst I am quite spritely. This week has been easier than I thought. It may well be next week when I'm moaning I want a vodka after an hour at the gym.
Going out for a meal tomorrow, and going to attempt to have just diet coke with it. Can't remember when that happened last!
Also, 3 pounds lost in a week. Suspect alcohol makes you retain an awful lot of water.'We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time. '
