Just a fly by, haven't even got a chance to catch up from last week, managed to read up till thursday i think.

Anyway, just wanted to say 5/24 AF's.

Hope you are doing ok Shaggy and positive thoughts to all those who need it.

My 6 year old is struggling to sleep tonight, he's been in bed since 7.30, but he can't settle. One tired boy in the morning.

Clocked up another AF night so now on 5 AFDs.

Thank you so much to everyone on here. It is really helping me to cut down.

Hope you are all coping well with all the trials everyone is going through.

Kind regards

Slowdown:)

7 AFDs clocked up.

I had a good run straight after work, with two colleagues doing so much more than they thought they could. We are on week 6 of a couch to 5k programme which I am leading, and I was very proud of them for running for 3 minutes then walking for 1 minute seven times. When they started they struggled to run for 1 minute and walk for 1 minute four times.

7 AFDs so far for me.

I've now been off alcohol for 5 weeks. It may be coincidence, but since Monday I have been having serious sugar cravings, feel a lot hungrier generally and am a lot thirstier than usual. This would be unremarkable except the same happened 5 weeks into abstaining when I did so from the start of last August. I can't remember if I had this in February, but it is possible I did but did not realise as I was on antibiotics for a kidney infection.

I'm going to discuss this with my doctor at my next appointment, but just wondered if anyone has had anything similar so long into a period of abstainance?

hello everyone (creeps back in sheepishly...). Well I well and truly fell off the wagon since going on holiday at EASTER!! I just have not had the guts to get back on, but am feeling up to it now.
I hope you have all been good whilst I have not... I will have a think about target for this month as I am away again last week of May and need to factor that in, plus quite a few social engagements this month also.....

Have a good day everyone!

8 AFDs now.

Boss, I too have been very thirsty, with a dry tongue, since being 90% AF since the start of 2013. Very strange as I drink only de-caf tea and coffee, and about 8 glasses of water a day.
