    Hello peeps :wave:

    I didn't finish July with any more AFDs, mainly due to my lovely DSS encouraging me to try (and try again) the home-made raspberry vodka I've made. It was supposed to be for Christmas gifts, but at this rate there won't be any left! It was delicious :eek: so I'm declaring on 15, which is a bit naff, but there you go.

    DH and DSS both commented yesterday that I was making my drink last (which I was, both the enjoy and savour it and to keep a tight reign on the amount) and they both said how much less I drink these days, so my efforts haven't gone unnoticed.

    Calling in early with 1/31 as I'lll be driving to Sussex this evening. Staying with Mum and Dad for a few days, so highly unlikely to drink as they both don't really, which is great.

    Some impressive totals last month. I aim to be amongst you this month....

    still really missing Satchmo.

    Thanks, Honey Bear, you are still really lovely.

    I'm back, having got fed up with myself, my lack of willpower, and lack of AF days.

    I'm also back with a huge incentive to lose 2 stone by 14th July 2017 when my youngest gets married at Gretna Green. Maxing the AF days will help considerably with that goal.

    So, can I target of 29 for August please, starting tonight with 1/29.
    What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?

    1/15 for me please.

    I plan to stay AF until Saturday, when I have a social occasion. Will be checking in here regularly to help me stick to target.

    I have have a few medical problems at the moment and I know alcohol isnt helping. Whilst I still have AF days I tend to drink too much still on my non AF days and still above 14 units weekly.

    My target for this month is to work on that.

    Good luck to all for a August.
    Live for the moment and plan for the future
  • How do I join in for August? Totally confused by the numbers!
