Hello again, I've been reading everyones posts, and its great to see them as encouraging.

1 af day for me. The first in a long while. I had a bar of chocolate instead when my energy levels got low. Think I will stock up on healthier snacks. I'm trying to lose weight by cutting back, not put on a stone. :rotfl:

Well done unself! The step from zero to one is perhaps the biggest of all :T:T:T

So glad you posted the positives (your good totals for September) before the negatives td. You're back on the wagon:T

Your mum sounds very supportive cuppa, what a lovely lady.

:Ton the weightloss Shaggy (and controlled drinking too;))

I've just watched the Panorama programme about alcohol problems in the over 65s. Apparently in my PCT there are more hospital admissions in that age group than in the 16-24s:eek: While I'm not in that bracket myself it was scary. So many people drinking at home as part of their daily routines and going way over recommended limits with disastrous health consequences. Made me so glad [STRIKE]I've[/STRIKE] we've decided to do something about it.:)

3AFDs for September and 1 for the SNC please.

I must watch that on catch up.

I am so glad ths thread is here. I have been posting on it for three years next month :eek::D And for those three years I've also kept a daily record of my units in a spreadsheet, so I can see that I've been drinking below government limits (14 units per week) in that time. So this thread is a godsend to me .

If MSE ever closed down I don't know what I'd do.....seriously:(

Hi Everyone
Have spent the last wee while catching up on all the posts, lots of virtual support going on which is great and a reminder for me of what this board can offer. Well in my trye usual style when im away from the board it means im not AF so other than tonite, ive not been AF in Sept. So its a measly 1 AF please Shaggy but its 1 more than it was yesterday so its a start.
good luck to everyone on your personal challenges this week/month. My challenge is to get to Fri or even sat without any vino, will take it a day at a time

Well done on getting that first day under your belt
Do you want to join us on the school night challenge? With a bit of support we may all make it to Friday AF!!!
Good luck!

Hi all, yet again I have spent ages reading all the posts - can't believe how busy it is on here again, which is brilliant!

I had a great weekend camping with my boy and the ther U10 football lads and parents - obviously plenty of beer got drunk, being social and all that
Then we went ot the local Duck Race when we got back on Sun and had a few then...
BUT, last night was AF, so 4AF for Sep please Shaggy, I must get into double figures this month!!!
