    calling in early for 13/15 AFDs - we're surrounded by boxes ahead of our move northwards on Monday.
    What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?

    12/16 for tonight. Out last night but drove so wouldn't drink.

    If my maths is right I will meet my target if I don't wobble over the next 4 nights.

    Hi
    Well I didn't manage an AF last night (fri) but for once I didn't go mad. I had two pints of delicious real ale in a pub with its own brewery and then had one at home too. No wine! No nightcap! Wow!

    And I have to say its down to this rather wonderful thread with rather wonderful people supporting it. :)

    Lots of thanks to You, Wanna Bee Free. It's so lovely to feel someone is looking out for you. I hope all is going well with you.

    Sorry to hear you are having a bad time Paulineb. I hope you manage to stay on here. I think lots of people will miss you.

    Hope you managed two in a row Fruball. I know the difficulty of that. I felt pretty rubbish this morning but it wasn't just drink. I ate some rubbish food along with it ie. crisps, peanuts, Chinese, crisps and more peanuts. Salt overload I think.

    Anyway, now in bed and AF. On a Saturday? Can't recall the last dry Saturday night I had. Hooray for all you inspirational people. :T

    Kind regards to all
    Slowdown:)

    Hi Slowdown, congratulations on your AF Saturday, that's another big milestone you've cracked this week!

    I'm pleased if I helped you this week. You did everything you needed you to do to succeed yourself. I know I still have more work to do with reducing my drinking but I am a lot stronger than I was thanks to this thread. To be able to say that I would be there with you and know I could do it when I'd planned a drinking day was a really good feeling. Plus the thread can be quite quiet on a weekend for some reason :rotfl: and I wanted you to know we are here.

    This has been a difficult week for me. My Dad and then my sis were taken in to hospital with unrelated things.(sis out already) I know I have been more tempted to drink way too much but I have just about stayed on the rails. I don't know why getting that little jumpy each month makes 14 a good number but for some reason it does and I want mine for April - I'm pleased with my 4 in a row since December.

    Happy Sunday everyone, I hope you all have a good day.

    Hello everyone! I'm just back from 2weeks away and I haven't had. Single AF day :eek:
    So back on the wagon for me today. I have also put on a ton if weight and need to watch what I eat for a while to shift it (and a bit more!) - not sure whether to do 5:2 or slimming world.
    Have a good Sunday
    Trying to keep in budget.
