    19/20 for tonight please.

    Well done to everyone for February but especially to Alex :T
  • Been the longest Feb ever for me but 21/21 AF today!

    Can I please set March target for 21 days, was tempted to go back to basics and do 31 as I find it easier to not have to question whether I drink or not, but think would be setting myself up to fail!

    I'm pleased to say I got an extra AF day in today.


    So 11/10 AFDs for February please Shaggy.


    I've had a few (planned) drinks out on Tuesday and Wednesday and enjoyed them so almost decided to drink again today and start again in March BUT I didn't!:j


    Many congratulations for each and every one AF day achieved this month. I know my targets are low but I know, compared with the sensible amounts of controlled drinking I do in between I'm achieving what I set out to do. I hope you're all equally pleased with your own achievements.
  • I am really going to try for 10 in March. Third time lucky.
    Total weight lost 6.5/73lbs starting yet again. Afds August 10/15. /8 Sept.

    Happy Friday Folks :grouphug:

    Well I did it...I went AF last night!! Yes I had the ole, will I, wont I debate in my head and finally said - no you are stronger than this :dance:Shaggy's stop button, my cold bath visualisation and a lovely clear head in the morning won over:j

    So to end the month I will have achieved 12/20 cause I know tonight will not be AF BUT on the non-AF nights my wine intake has been reduced and controlled:p (well most of them)

    Congratulations to all those who made or surpassed your targets (especially Alex) and to those who like me didnt but are more drink aware - I think that's a battle in itself!!

    Have a fantastic weekend :happylove
