Hope things start to pick up soon....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 -
I have to say that I love the non-judgmental tone of this thread. I haven't read every page, but none of the posts I've read has berated someone for not making their target, or for drinking. I only mention this because years ago I was posting on an AOL (yeah, I should know better) board and said that although I was a couple of weeks AF I was going to my best friend's wedding and planned to have a couple (or more) drinks. The fallout I got from that one post was unbelievable.
Anyway - thank you all for having me - and I hope that as many of us as possible can reach our targets this month.
No judging here. This is my personal life's motto:-
:rotfl: Now where's the chocolate......?
Sorry to be dashing off on my holds when you've just joined the thread - but keep those AFDs coming - I'll catch them when I come back. Good Luck.What do we do when we fall?

Managed another 2 AF nights taking me to 4 AF so far. Clear headed and fresh each morning which is great!
Other Half and I both have weekend off so we shall see how that ends up! He resolutely carries on smoking and drinking. He is younger but I still think he needs to cut back! So far my encouragement is falling on deaf ears!
Have a good weekend all!

Well, Friday evening and well done those who chalked up days on the SNC.
Next week I am heading off on various travels on Wednesday and so won't be able to track the SNC until the 1st of August (when I will be full time back at home). Happy to pick it up again then, if you're all up for it.Trying to keep in budget.

Morning :hello:
Well I'm still here! Believe it or not we got confused about the day we left for holiday and we actually go tomorrow doh! Shows you how manic mine and OH's lives are. On the plus side I get to see the ladies' final and the negative side there is no chance of me seeing the men's final.
Anyway, 1 more AFD for me and a Friday AFD at that.
Happy
Hope the sun is out where you are.
