    Good morning Everyone! I was up nice and early this morning, hangover free due to a lovely AF NYE! May it be the first of many :)

    Really looking forward to a whole month being AF, am planning to drink 2ltrs water daily and generally be totally virtuous! :D

    I finished on 10 Shaggy which is the longest I've been sober since 2008! Thanks for keeping the numbers going and all the effort you put in xxx

    I'm signed up in a team to do the Dryathelon so I can't let the side down ;)

    Have a great day xxx

    Happy New Year one and all. DH and I shared a bottle of Prosecco, with the last glass at exactly midnight, but I count that as 2013. I had two glasses of red wine with dinner, too. Much less than many other NYE's. I had hoped to go for a run this morning, but the squally rain put me off. Maybe I could drag myself off to the gym???
    What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?
  • slinking in with my tail between my legs only managed another 1 af for last month shaggy :(

    Feel smug though..whilst i have drunk something every day i havent been drunk..no hangver for me this morning! House has been scrubbed from top to bottom, cakes have been made and having a quick sit down before, doing something else fun..painting wth the boys perhaps?

    Anyway hope 2014 is wonderful for us all..

    Can i set my target for 21 please shaggy?

    Well, after last night I've suddenly got a renewed enthusiasm for going AF. :) Unfortunately, I've already had a drink today but certainly hoping for an AFD tomorrow.

    Mortgage Overpayments £5,500
  • I am pledging 31 days AF this month. Am currently in my 9th week of an AF life. Life is easier without alcohol without question! No discussions about trying not to drink too much on a night out, no feeling disgusted at having had a drink again, no more me being controlled by alcohol. I now control me.
    So 31 days please. And then the rest of the year.
