CuppaTea - what you've come through is amazing, you should be so proud of yourself.
SukeyBoo - I hope kitty turns up soon. I've been in the same situation and it's awful wondering where they are.
Well I'm back from a week of fun at Glastonbury and have the post-festival blues today. I didn't have any AF days, but I only overindulged on one of the 5 days. The other 4 days I managed to keep it to a very low 2 drinks, which is somewhat miraculous for me given that everyone around me was drinking all day and into the night. I hoping I can get to the end of June with no more drinking now which will take me up to a respectable 15, but we shall see.
In July I really need to keep the drinking days down, mostly because I'm moving house in August and need to save money. I have another festival so those will be drinking days, but will try and remain AF for most of the rest of it so would like to set a target of 25 for July please.
It's interesting that other people don't post when they're drinking. I am guilty of the same.0 -
Afternoon all, 27/21 for me please.0

Thanks for your kind wishes - he came home at 1.30 this morning - tired, wet & hungry but other than that seems fine :j:j:j
Was going to be AF tonight but will have a glass of wine to celebrate his return
This means I won't reach target but I am fine with that this month as I also forgot I had a week's holiday when I set it.
Congratulations to everyone who is nearly there or has exceeded target and better luck for next month for those who haven't quite made it (like me)

ShaggyxWhat do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.0 -
