19 AF please Shaggy, and a target of 25 for November please
Tomorrow night I am meeting the guy I gave my number to on Fri :eek:

Good luck for tomorrow eve!:)It’s not what you have in your life but who you have in your life that counts0 -
You're obviously aware you need to do something or you wouldn't be posting. Are these daily drinking habits or just weekends? I'd advise trying just one AF day and building from there but if that's a daily intake maybe cold turkey would be too much. Keep posting.:)
Good to hear from you idris. I know what you mean about control. I'm likely to end up with about half a month AF, which I'm pleased with but knowing I've been to two family weddings without a hint of any embarassing behaviour and no hangovers pleases me immensely.:D
its a daily thing. I tend to drink during the day, sleep early evening ( having had no food ) then wake up at 2-3am a few cans & then back to bed. Not something I'm proud of!. But have to get off the merry go-around. Off to an AA meeting tonightOpenscreen

OpenScreen, you say you are killing yourself, but driving drunk is putting other people as risk. STOP. No excuses.
Maybe, if you had to walk to the shops for the drink it would reduce the consumption.
Hope you got to AA and found support there.What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?0 -
Morning :hello:
1 more AFD.
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 -
