And i can quite happily, and safely as im in bed and NOT getting up till morning, I am 1 AFD!!!
Do you want to join the April challenge? I could put you down for anything from 1 to 6 AFDs or you could just be TF (Target Free).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.0 -
That's tough Miskyn, a huge test of will power. I know that before not drinking became default for me I used to look longingly at people enjoying a drink outside wine bars on my way home. I then started focusing on the grey faced/red nosed winos that are to be seen from about 11.00 am in another bar. It helped.
There is a pub near where I work where people (mostly men) drink pints with their breakfast :eek:What do we do when we fall?

25/30 AFDs for me.
I'm going to a wedding (blessing) on Saturday, so I have offered a friend a lift so that I can be AF and she can have a drink before she starts five days of "live below the line" on Monday. She has joined up to a world-wide challenge of living on a food budget of just £1 per day. https://www.livebelowtheline.com/uk-worldvision
Shaggy, as there are only 30 days in April, will we all fail this month's target?
Shaggy, seriously, I hope today goes well for you, hugs for you. There's so much to do, and so many decisions to be made, all whilst it feels like half your brain has been shut down by grief and your heart is torn apart.What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?0 -
Go on then, Im feeling ambitious... stick me down for 6 AFD's cant wait for the may challenge to start...
Now to stay out of the boozer...
Thank you everybody for your supportive words!!!Miskyn ...

has anyone seen my willpower? I have slipped back to old ways, making easy excuses to nip out to the supermarket in the evening and buying wine. I wish the shops still shut at 6 in the evening.
Shaggy, <<<hugs>>> if you need them, or for sharing with those that need support.0 -

Unless this is you imagnu
can I suggest having a good soak in the bath, putting PJs on and telling yourself you're not going out until next morning.0 -
Sorry Shaggy! Thinking of you and sending you a big hug from the home counties. Bless you!
