    Hi. Please can I join....well that should be rejoin as I have been here before. After another night out where I have gone completely over the top I have decided enough is enough. I can easily go all week without a drink but come the weekend I just go over the top. I binge drink. Last night I went out with hubby, had a lovely meal, drank way too much wine. Ended up very drunk, had blazing row with hubby, now I have the mother of all hangovers and wish so much I could turn the clock back. I feel such a Loser right now. I have so much going for me yet I am at risk of losing it all if I dont change my ways....so here I am. All tips/advice greatly received. Xx

    Shout out your target if you want to join the May Challenge.
    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.

    I'm on 2/16 please Shaggy.

    My long weekend away turned into a week so hardly any AFness.
    Want to do Monday to Friday this week. Feeling positive now but when stress hits? We'll see!

    Welcome Shelly.

    Hi everyone hope you are all ok. Been away as life overtook me, just not enough hours in the day. However I have been mindful of being AF, have done better in the past but also much worse too.

    Please can I join May on 6/20 please Shaggy.

    My friend has been separating from her husband and there have been midweek nights, where she has turned up with a bottle and I've joined her "as a supportive friend and some husband bashing". However we are both going to get that back on track. We can't afford it, makes the week harder, it's lowering my average for the month and makes my recycling box look very worrying to my neighbours. Honestly it's not all me, friends keep coming by with their bottles, but it ends up in my box!!!!
    Live for the moment and plan for the future

    :jhooray:j

    Can you believe it? Clocked up 7/14!!!! Boy I could have done with a bottle of wodkah after the day I had. Just as well I don't drink spirits! Stuck to tea and ironing tonight. Got fed up with both and went to bed, which is where I am now.

    I hope you have all had a splendid AF day.

    Kind regards
    Slowdown:)
