    Hello,


    Hope everyone's ok. I've survived my first ever Glastonbury. Woo! it was by no means alcohol-free but it was ok. Mainly because I could barely stand up in the mud as it was, let alone after too many beers. Anyway, my target for July is 21/31 please. It may be a bit ambitious as it is the OH's 50th birthday but we will see. Good luck all xx


    ... I am not sure I have posted that right. I am aiming for 21 AFDs over the month ..

    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.

    I'd like to join please :)

    Going by what I've read, I'm assuming we give a target of how many days we would like to be alcohol free for the month? If so, I'd like a target of 25 for July please :)

    It is still nearly 2 weeks worth of not drinking! :-)

    Well done I say StopLurking.

    23/28 AF.

    Hope you are all well. Making herbal tea here to stave off the urge to drink something alcoholic.

    M.P X

    Out of curiosity as you have been doing well this month MP - congrats by the way, its very impressive, are you still getting regular cravings? I was surprised to read that as I "assumed" after so many weeks now it was habit to not drink. Sorry that isn't coming out right, but I know what I mean.

    + 1 day please Shaggy.. Nearly gave in a few times this evening, but glad I didn't. Just used my tactic of eating dinner early with the kids and the craving goes (usually), plus not having any wine in helps. There is a bottle of Kopperberg in the cupboard, which I have recently discovered a liking for, but I can really only drink one bottle before having enough. So its self limiting and not so strong as wine. Prefer wine though.

    Please can I set a target of 15 for July Shaggy. Thanks.

    Hope everyone's week is going well. Any ideas when Summer is starting?
