Evening everyone
We'll done on you 9 day run Shaggydoo, I found week 2 quite straightforward, pink cloud even.
I'm now on day 18 and week 3 is much more difficult, like trying to haul myself through mud - that just reminded me of "going on a bear hunt"

8 please, Shaggy, ta Finally managing to stay back on the wagon for a few days! Going on holiday and then Easter really knocked me off it, but the more AFD's I manage to accumulate, the easier it is getting. It is great to read everybody's posts on here, really helpful, thanks!0

Holidays do seem to bu**er up the intention to keep drinking under control, don't they? I'd honestly never realised that before I joined this thread.
21/30 please, Shaggy.Better is good enough.0
