    :wave: Back from my short break in Dublin. Fortunately I'm not a Guinness drinker and sensible amounts of wine with meals were all I had. Then yesterday (as we needed an early supper before catching plane) I elected for a hot drink instead.


    So 9 AFDs please Shaggy.


    Thanks for putting me down for my usual for April.:)

    23/25, wasn't sure I'd manage this at the start of the month if I'm honest with myself but not turned to drink even when things have been difficult.
    2018 totals:
    Savings £11,200
    Mortgage Overpayments £5,500
  • That's 12/14 for me. Bit of a white knuckle evening but I made it. Funny how you can have a run of easy nights and then suddenly it gets really tough out of the blue. It wasn't just about tonight it's abiut the fact I want to drink for the next few days too.

    Sleep well everyone.

    You're doing brilliantly fruball, what a turn around from a few weeks back when you despaired of getting your AFness off the ground.


    Delighted to say I managed another tonight so that's


    10 AFDs for March please Shaggy.


    I know it's a small total compared with many of you but for me with a birthday and a holiday this month I'm really pleased to have got this far. I'm pleased with my AF total but also that I can now manage sensible, social drinking in between. I'm hoping for another before the month's out.

    Morning :hello:

    2 more AFDs for Wednesday & Thursday and another pound lost making 8 Llbs:j

    If I don't drink today I will be a March Saint :A Quite awhile since that happened. We are out for a meal tonight - so I will be looking at the low calorie options in that regard too.

    What 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.
