Are you okay, Maman? You're not posting as much as you used to and I miss your words of wisdom.

Just quoting myself Maman because I know you haven't had time to read back.

28/28 please, Shaggy. It still gives me no end of satisfaction that another month is in the bag, so thanks for keeping score. It wouldn't be half as much fun without your scoring.

Re Feeling like Feb hasn't gone so well - there were actually a lot of "weekend" days in this Feb : 12 out of 28. January and March however had/have 13 weekend days out of 31 days. It does make a difference I think iyswim.

Thanks for that Shaggy. As a weekend drinker it explains why I've ended up on 12 for February.:)


March is likely to be equally if not more difficult as we're going away for a week but I'll do my best.



What's pleasing HB is that although I've given up I never, ever lose control any more when I'm drinking. The worst thing that happens is I fall asleep but usually I know when I've had enough and take a break with soft drinks. Fortunately even in the past I was never a loud or argumentative drunk but I was embarrassing, that much I do remember.:o Sorry that your friends were obnoxious but pleased that you enjoyed the holiday. I've only ever been to Barcelona for a day trip when staying nearby. Which building have you fallen in love with?


Have every sympathy for with your travel nightmares but not your benevolence towards the rail companies. On Sunday we went to Wembley and South West Trains, in their wisdom, although they know they had sold 14 000 extra rail tickets put on just 2 extra trains above an already depleted Sunday service. Standing for 2 hours (no fast trains either) in both directions was no joke. Especially surrounded by drunks!:rotfl:

Hi all - room for a lurker?

Have lost a good couple of hours this afternoon reading through your threads - so inspiring each and every post.

For me I don't wake up feeling rough, I always remember the night before but I do drink most days - even if it is just one glass of an evening. I am hoping posting with you guys and sharing stories will help keep me motivated as I know i need to reduce the amount I am drinking.

I would love to sign up for the march challenge with a target of 10 AF days please
