I'm pleased with that as if someone said to me at the start I could cut my drinking from every day to 50% I'd be delighted.

That's so true for me too. I'm still learning moderation when I do drink but my AFDs are increasing and my ALDs mean far fewer monster hangovers for days after. Going to weigh myself later to see if it's having any impact - wish me luck :rotfl:

9/21 today for me - taxi duty later...

debjay

10/20 for tonight please - halfway to target this month.

Barny1979

OK, so after taxi duty I had one bottle of Bulmers blood orange cider and this morning I have headache :mad:

Definitely AF today...

I need to be switched to ALD's, my stats look like I'm not doing particularly well, but in actual fact I am doing well (albeit it after only one week). So my 3/21 AFD's should really be 7/21 ALD's. It is very early days but I feel confident about this, I'm not really struggling at all, but I've realised that the fight/struggle is going to be a neverending war, rather than a short battle.

Done - changed your target.

I see alcohol, like my diet, exercise and my BP, as something I monitor constantly and this thread helps me do that. I've been posting on here 6 years in October and I know a few other posters were here before me.

That'd be me then!:D Like you, shaggy, I'm still around because it helps me stay on track. Not that I'd necessarily go back to square one without it but it's a routine I've got into just like keeping my weight in check, writing healthy meal plans and checking my bank statements. And if I can help anyone who's starting out with advice from my experience then all the better. Isn't that what all the best forums do:).

Sometimes we need the hungover feeling as a reminder where we've come from just like a tight pair of jeans tells me when I've been having too many treats. And one bottle is still an ALD.:)


AF for me today, maybe the last for this week. Another family birthday tomorrow but not sure what we're doing yet.


8 AFDs please Shaggy.
