So sorry to hear about your sister Shaggy I shall pray for her and you. If caught early the prognosis for breast cancer is very good but you and your family must be so worried.
1 more AF day so I end July on 13 2 under target but compared with my previous level of drinking I'm quite pleased.
For August I would like to set a target of 10 because I have quite a few things going on this month that will probably involve drinking but I hope to do more.0 -
Wishing everyone well for August.:TSobriety delivers everything Alcohol promised.
Alcohol free since May 23rd 2003.

Sorry to hear the sad news Shaggy. I'm sure no amount of reassurance (or wine) will help with the initial shock of diagnosis. But beyond that I'm sure you as a family will look to the future with a positive attitude. Wishing your sister every success with her treatment.:A
I finished on
14 AFDs for July
I'm pleased considering my lapse into drinking in the garden during the summer (remember that week??;)).
mari, that's a kind offer to score the SNC. Thank You. I'll be signing up on Sunday if that's OK with you.
Have a good day everyone.0 -
So sorry Shaggy to hear that your sister has got breast cancer, as others have said, really hope the prognosis is good for her. You are always here for all of us Shaggy and now its time for us to return the favour, we are here for you.
Finishing July on 14 Af please Shaggy and 1 AF for AugIt’s not what you have in your life but who you have in your life that counts0 -
Sorry I haven't been around for a while - too usy drinking it seems
I have to dropping with a sheepish total of 10/28 for July. I'll be more realistic this month and request a target of 12 please shaggy! 0 -
Morning :hello:
No wine last night and I slept quite well, so 1st AFD notched up for August. The prognosis for my sister's cancer is good as they caught it early. I feel positive but I feel so sorry for her as she is in deep shock.
So glad I haven't picked up a drink. When my Mum was diagnosed with cancer I used alcohol as a crutch, (that's why alcohol scares me so much).
