    Hello Everyone,


    Back from hollibobs, and can only claim 2 AFD since August 5:eek:.
    Back on it now just have to get through the first 48 hours if you catch my drift. That is, the usual lack of sleep and tossing and turning.


    Didn't really sofa surf, so I haven't read the thread, hope everyone is managing.


    Thanks guys

    Hi everyone,
    This isn't the first time I've popped in here but it's been awhile.

    So.... I've woken up with a bit of a hangover today. And I need to get this drinking thing under control. I work in a school and for the period of the summer holidays I've probably clocked up half a dozen AF days. Not good.

    I'm very active, do lots of walking, go to the gym etc and I'm a reasonably bright individual but when it comes to the drink, well I'm lacking in intelligence and the ability to say no. Plus, I like it. I enjoy it. Not a good combo.

    Thus I am ready to cut down, mainly for the sake of my future health.
    I worry about the effect on my body and yet I still go ahead. Some nights it's just one drink. Others it more like half a dozen.

    So I'm really wanting to pledge to cut down, to ask for everyone's support on here and to ask to be listed for 7/8 AF days until the end of August and then 19/30 for September.

    On the days I do drink I am going to try and limit myself to two. There are two days of exception though. My son's 18th and my 50th. I think I may well end up with more than two on those nights.

    Thank you for letting me join your thread. I'm hoping it will help me again, just as it did once before.

    Kind regards
    Slowdown
