Hello all again. It's been a fair few months since I posted on here. Last year with all your help I managed to complete the Drylathon. This year I won't be completing it as have had a few drinks tonight as it was DS's 16th birthday, plus also I didn't want to say that I wasn't drinking, just wanting to get it under control really.

So my AF count for last year was:

Jan 31 days AF:j
Feb 0 days AF
Mar 1 day AF
Apr 1 day AF
May 3 days AF
Jun 3 days AF
Jul 3 days AF
Aug 2 days AF
Sep 2 days AF
Oct 0 days AF
Nov 1 day AF
Dec 3 days AF

So for January I would like to try for 10 days please Shaggy. It could possibly be more. I would like to get back to where I was I few years ago...only drinking on
a Tues, Fri & Sun. I have beer in the fridge at home, but will only drink it if I've already been out. I do not drink at home, even if DH is, if I haven't already been out.

Could you put me down for 2/10 already please Shaggy.

3/31 for me now, please Shaggy - so far, to be honest, I've not been tempted - with the weather rotten like this, I've just wanted endless cups of tea - I'm really hoping this helps me break the habit of opening a bottle of wine or two over the weekend just "because".
Good luck for tomorrow everyone. Judi, you can do this:)

:hello: to everyone and happy new shiny year! Ok maybe a bit grey and dull too.
I would like to go for a target of 14 again please Shaggy.

No new AFDs to report - no OTT embarrassing drinking tales or hangovers either. I've been drinking enough to make me feel jaded and forget what I watched on TV though...

I am very impressed with all the content on here over the last few pages - so glad I came back here and am 'with' you all again over the interwebs.

My first planned AFD is Monday but I'm thinking about trying for a sneaky Saturday today too. I will go back to bed and sleep now. I have a cough which isn't helping my sleep any.

Hello everyone and Happy New Year!
Yesterday was the last full day of my hols - we're off home today and I'm on the AF wagon for the month. I haven't drunk a lot over the past few days but they haven't been AF.

Close shave last night, went to the chippy for a late tea. I only called next door for half a bottle of brandy! Got home and felt guilty and didn't touch it. It's going down the sink this morning.

:eek: :eek: go back to the shop first thing see if they'll take it back or exchange it??! If not, drop it in a bin on the way home. Expensive stuff that!

(Sorry, it's the MSE in me!)
