    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've stopped counting the way it's done on this thread because weekly units is my method, I am targeting keeping below 21 units/week.

    Hi

    I can still add you to the monthly challenge if you like? You can have a smiley for each ALW (alcohol low week) if it helps you reach your goal.

    Hello lovely folks - I'm back to join you if I may for the run up to Christmas?

    welcome-back-sign-smiley-emoticon.gif Do you want to join the October Challenge? We've changed it a bit - you can now count ALDs (alcohol low days) instead of AFDs if that helps you (ALD being anything you want - I'm doing 3 units or less equals an ALD but it's up to you). Or ALW ??? You set units for the week.

    Please, can I join you all on this thread? It might take me a while to catch up with everything and who you all are, but it would be wonderful to know that I am amongst friends.

    Thank you for the supportive comments...especially Honey Bear....it means a lot x

    Pushing out the MSE welcomewagon.gif for you. We run a monthly challenge - there are 21 days available to you from Saturday if you intend to quit. Meaning you are on 1/21 already.

    Or you can go target free so then you would be 1/TF.

    Good Luck.

    Thanks for the offer, but it's OK shaggy, I'll get by with just my diary, but I'll also hang around on the thread, as it makes sense to occasionally hit base with others fighting the same fight.
