    Quiet here today, hope you're not all out partying?

    I got as far as opening a bottle tonight but I closed it again PDQ, had a cup of tea instead and the feeling passed off.

    10AFDs please Shaggy.

    de1amo. You're right, targets do generally start from the first but latecomers are definitely allowed. Update regularly (ideally in bold) and the lovely Shaggy will give you a special smiley for every seven days and another for reaching your target. It's a bit like a star chart for grown ups!;) I'm sure Shaggy will explain tomorrow.
  • Morning all, 1 AFD to report. I'm getting a real liking for ginger ale!

    Morning, change in weather here means I need a pair of trousers rather than a summer dress, very upsetting. Hope the weekend is not a bad as the current weather forecast

    22AF for May please Shaggy, so not met me target as expected - Oh well.

    Good luck MarkMan, can't remember if I have said, but the Allen Carr book is a great read to give up alcohol

    Congrats everyone, specially Cleggie with summer so in evidence! Thanks T36 - bought the AC book back when i got the AC book on smoking and plan to get past where it says you must read it sober:o (i read in the pub).

    Trying to make sure i keep checking in regularly again and thanks again for just being here and sharing.

    I WILL get at least one AF day in next week. Promise.
    Smoke-free since Jan 2012 :j Now its just the drink, and the weight, and life in general :p
