Hi shaggy can you put me down for 12 AF please
1AF for today, thanks.
This month I've increased my AF by a further 2, as last month as soon as I hit my target of 10AF I quickly got back into my nightly drinking.:oIt’s not what you have in your life but who you have in your life that counts0 -
Just reporting in to say that though I have had two drinks it was only two (three shots in total), not in the least drunk and feeling good - I am sure partly down to this thread. Happy about that and feeling hopeful generally.0

Well done to all the amazing January people!
Shaggy I managed a whole day more last Saturday so a long way short of my teeny target in Jan.
I would however like to report 1/10 for February, as well as an amazing night's sleep last night. Long may it last. Have a good Tuesday everyone.0 -
Morning lovelies :wave:
1/25 for me (and 33 AFDs in a row too) please Shaggy x
Well done to everybody for last month, whether you did Dry January or not - there were a lot of smilies up on the list :T
Ooh, and it's day 2 of no processed sugar for me too today....gulp...0 -
Morning :hello:
1 more AFD for yesterday.
ShaggyxWhat 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.0 -

Reporting a 31/31 result for me during January! :T Rather proud of myself, even if I do say so:rotfl:
And rightly so, Dizzy Imp! You've had a really trying time since the flood and to stay alcohol free through all that is amazing. Good on you.Many years ago I tried beer on cereal, not first thing in the morning though and only because I was curious since beer tastes to me like cereal anyway - not really a fan of either thing, if I'm honest. Can't remember what my thoughts were on the taste combo though and have not repeated the experiment.But not recommended, on the whole :rotfl:
Yeatch. :eek:Maybe I'll do the 'not today' thing that cathybird suggested.
It definitely works.
For anyone looking for an excuse not to drink, I think Lent starts on 10th February.
2/29 please, Shaggy.Better is good enough.0 -
1/20 for tonight please Shaggy0
