    Morning :hello:

    I wasn't AF last night - had 2 glasses of red wine, probably about 3 units.

    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.

  • Went to bed after 1am and up at 8am, feeling refreshed, what's that all about lol. Actually been awake a little longer so when I got up thought it was later. Playing bingo online with breakfast tv and a coffee, this is surely what I've been missing, some normality, instead of dragging myself out of bed and being irritable with my kids. I love Nobrewery so far and there's only 26 days left after today, I had a lovely meal last night and I actually spoke to my partner without him arguing or snapping.

    Well done 41 and Barney. I think one of my next challenges will be when we go out with friends (most of whom are very heavy drinkers). But that is amazing both of you, well done! :D
    Thanks Lilith for your continuuing and appreciated support. Well done Barney too, we survived the first night of the month without a drink. It could have been so easy to become complacent because of our success in January, I only managed 27 days I think you did the whole month Barney if I remember, but we didn't rest on our laurels. This is great and I hope that we all will continue to surprise ourselves by achieving the goals that we set, whether it is cutting down or abstaining or becoming more aware.
    Thanks everyone.

    Well done everyone on your January totals.

    Shaggy, I made 25/31.........didn't quite manage the full amount of 31 days for the Dryathlon, but they are richer for it!!!

    I have to say that I feel much better for it and have lost 6lbs too :-)

    My Target for February is 20 please.
    Well done on every single one of those 25 days, 25 is just two numbers but imagine the hours in 25 days, amazing achievement. And you lost nearly half a stone, well done. Alcohol is empty calories whether you have a drink problem or not, it is a way of putting on weight. I'm glad that you feel better and have a little extra money in your pocket. So glad that you're on this thread, keep posting.:D
