Evening All

AF #1 today, and feeling positive. I did buy myself some schloer but my 13 year old drank it all. Apparently it just tasted like fizzy cranberry juice. Thanks Son!0 -
Nobody judges on this thread which is great

However, I think I drink more than anyone else here
and that worries me greatly 
Tonight will be AF as I have a full on all day hangover from last night. I feel dreadful.
This addiction is gonna get it's !!! whipped next year - BE GONE BOOZE MONSTER!!!
I make my AF days 13/14 so almost at target.
I can drink 12 beers or 2 bottles of wine in one night and do so far more frequently than I'm proud of.
31 AF days (dryathlon) in Jan though, just winding down now.0 -
Having a drink tonight, but none tomorrow and final drink on Tuesday(NYE) - 21/16 AFDs for December in total and I think it will be 313 AFDS in in 2013. Aiming for at least 315 AFDs next year, Ideally 330 AFDs.
All the best to everyone on here for NYE and 2014!!!0 -

ShaggyxWhat 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 -
