    Morning all, 1 AFD to report. I'm getting a real liking for ginger ale!

    Ditto - when I was drinking alcohol, I never tried ginger ale but a tall glass of ginger ale, loads of ice and a slice of lemon is one of my summertime favourite drinks.
    I always drink it in hotels for some reason (like tomato juice on a plane...)

    Happy June everyone

    5 more AFDs for me please Shaggy which should make it 19 for May.

    It's a bit less than I'd hoped but that sunshine last week was my downfall! I managed to break the "in from work open a bottle of red and get the first glass down my neck before taking my coat off" winter habit NOW I've just got to tackle the "sun's out let's sit in the garden with a cold beer" one :)

    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 have decided I'm not going to have a target for June. I've got a strange month coming up with another holiday and a few family things so I know I won't get many AFDs in. I'm going to just test myself to see if I can manage moderate drinking without a target to keep me on the straight and narrow.

    I think the target's in my head now and I'm going to give it a try!

    Do you want to be TF? Or are you going challenge free?:D

    İm a bit unsure how you report your AF days--i have been AF now for 7 days due to my medical problems. do the targets start from the 1st? is there a star for acheiving the most conscecutive AF days??

    The June challenge starts from today. We don't really count consecutive days - just totals for the month.:)
