    It's my birthday today, and I bought some Becks Blue rather than a bottle of red :j

    14/31 please Shaggy

    Happy Birthday 🎂. Well done on not drinking today too :T

    I'm also declaring 14/31 for tonight.

    Although I'm not feeling any better in the mornings for not drinking I think that me and DH are getting on better - not that we didn't get on before but life seems more harmonious without the booze.

    14/31 AFDs. Nearly half-way through the month.
    What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?

    13/31 AFDs tonight :)
  • Nothing stronger than a BB for me tonight so 14/31 for me please.

    Is it just me or has this been a long fortnight. Not that I'm wishing my time away, not now that I've rediscovered the other 8 o'clock on a weekend.

    Happy birthdays for today and those just missed.

    The very best of luck, a shed load of willpower and good wishes to the new joiners.

    Keep on keeping on all.
    Xx

    2/15 for me tonight. Day 3 was always the one for me I'd fall at. But I'm staying strong!
    LBM January 2017 £34k will have paid back finally by my DFD May 2021
    got my first store card on my 18th birthday, never known a life without the grey cloud of debt looming over me. 18yrs and the end is finally in sight 🤩
  • Still no more a/f nights to report but another small battle won tonight. Last shift today, Friday night for me. Had a few beers, wife has gone to bed. This is the point when i would go buy more brandy and indulge.
    Not tonight, it's water and lemon for me.

    Feeling very proud of myself.
  • Hi everyone, sorry for my absence over the last few months, yes, it was drink (and work) related.
    I forgot my log in for a while but I have been lurking for the last week or so but unable to post.
    I am currently "dry" not having had a drink since 31st December and I feel fantastic for it. My bank balance is also looking healthier, I still have £70 left and it's payday tomorrow! A first for me!
    I aim to be AF for at least this month, I would like to go beyond but will think about it again as the month draws to a close. The children certainly seem much happier and more settled now I am not drinking, my son seems to have picked up and be making more effort in school.


    Someone's sig on here keeps me going. It's along the lines "sobriety delivers everything alcohol promised" may it long continue
    My target for January is 31 I am currently 14/31.


    Thanks all for keeping up to good work


    Joanne
