    Focus on the positive Pricey - 15 AFDs is not bad!

    I'm going to go for the sober October challenge and do a full 31 AFD. I did it back in January and felt good so I think I need it now to get in top form for the winter.
    Trying to keep in budget.

    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.

    Hi everyone!:wave:

    I used this thread ages ago but slid back off the wagon.

    Feel very sluggish and down :( so have decided to do the Go Sober challenge. I've donated to a local project that helps recovering addicts/alcoholics. They provide good food/shelter and support on a drop in basis. I'm also going to donate £5s worth of food to a food bank each week.

    So here we go! 31 Days for me please! :A

  • October's shaping up to be a really positive month!

    28/30 please, Shaggy.
    Better is good enough.
  • Hello everybody, Can I sign up for October please. I would like to aim for a completely dry October. 31 days. The last few months have not been good, too much alcohol indulgence! (depends how you look at it though I guess with a Spainish holiday and birthdays involved).

    Thank you, PennySaving
