Hi again everyone, I've had a little break from this thread but would like to rejoin and challenge for 30/31 for January. I completed the 1st & 2nd but yesterday had a few vinos and lets just say I want to be AF for the rest of the month for health & money reasons.
I hope you are all well and had a good Christmas & New Year.
So declaring 2/30 please.
Thank you PennySaving0 -
Morning :hello:
2 more AFDs for January.

Anyway - Target is 31 for January :A
On track with 4/31
7th day without - looking healthier already I'm told by the missus!
Keep up the good work everyone .... :T
Best wishes for the new year

**Sneaks in through back door and slinks down in back row**
Hi Shaggy et al - it's been a long time.
I managed dry January last year up until 17th January. On. thing I do recall is just how much money I still had left by payday
Unfortunately I slipped back into the old ways - and more. By this Christmas was on 2+ bottles of wine a day.
Having said that, I did have approx 50 AF days last year - probably more than in the previous 5 years combined.
Anyway, I am going for a dry January - and hopefully beyond. I had an out patient appointment on 2nd January - apparently my LFT's are up so I really need to call it a day on the booze front. I finished of my Christmas stash on 1st January and plan to be dry for at least the next month - preferably longer.
I currently feel dreadful, flu symptoms and lacking sleep, throat chest and back all hurting like hell, head , I'm not sure if it's the lack of booze or I do have a severe cold/flu (skipped my jab this year, never again)
Anyway, can I climb back aboard and aim for 30/31 for January. Currently on 3/30 (including today)
Many thanks
Jo0
