    29 af and 31 in total! XXX
    Very easy to say but I think we all realise how hard it is to do.
    Well done Jak you are so inspiring, and should be very proud of yourself.
    I can't believe how far you've come, hoping that this will continue.
    You are amazing!

    29/31 AFD and 2SNC so far this week, almost a full month dry :j

    Need to work out February, would like to have a couple of drinks a couple of times but not go mad...

    It's great to see so many people doing well throughout January. It proves we can do it if we try.

    I have found myself not actually wanting alcohol at times, i've been realising my thoughts are in the habit of thinking shall I have a drink, but on reflection I actually don't. Its not all the time but some of the time, so things are changing. I am achieving what I set out too. I wanted to cut down and not miss it and that is happening. Old habits and thoughts are being replaced by new.

    This thread is definitely helping and keeping me on track. Thank you.

    That's exactly how I feel cuppa. Isn't it great!:D

    20 AFDs for January please, Shaggy.

    I'll set my target for 10 as usual in February, Shaggy. I am hoping to get closer to half the month AF but we'll see how it goes.

    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.

    Hi hope you don't mind me leaving a link here for Living Sober. This group was set up to help people with problems with alcohol and I have personally been with them for over 3 years, (celebrated 3 years alcohol free in December). I know a lot of people here just want to cut down their alcohol intake but for others who are lost without support in the real world this could help. We operate in the North East of England and are completely voluntary non profit.

    Thanks for the Link.
