    Thanks shaggydoo, ill have a look. Thankfully the anxiety disappeared on day 6.

    I am now 10 days AF so happy to join Dec. Still not sure what my target is. Lets say 16


    That's good to hear dprovan, probably just took a bit of adjusting to a new routine. You're doing so well to start cutting down at this time of the year.:T


    I'm calling in for today as no intention of starting Christmas early and was AF yesterday. Still hoping for a few more this month too.


    11 AFDs please Shaggy.
  • Calling in early for today as I need another AFD so tonight will be 8/10. And that's 8 more than last December :)

    I looked at my mobile phone just as I was going to bed last night to discover a mate had invited me to the pub with some other friends earlier in the evening and I had completely failed to notice the message. I probably would have gone if I'd seen it so that's one AFD saved due to general obliviousness. At this point I'm even contemplating making NYE an AFD too since I will be staying home that evening. There is a party I could go to but I have already said no since I am not good with big parties and I just don't want to traipse home through London in the wee hours of New Year's Day when it is always freezing cold and everyone is drunk. Is that bad of me? Hope not. I'd rather just have a quiet evening.

    12/16 please. Not sure I will meet my target now, two days this week I have had a drink in the evening and next week very social too. Not good enough but better than none which is what is would have been likely to be last Christmas. Hope everyone is nearly ready for Christmas 🎄 - I'm hoping after today I might feel organised enough.

    Oops. I succumbed to temptation. Still on 7.
