hi all

reporting in while I've had another AFD. It's a good idea to meet my friend away from a pub so he's coming round.. however.. I might or might not have somewhere to move to Not sure yet, it's not fixed in stone, but we might pack a load more stuff and get so fed up with tripping over cardboard we disappear off to the pub anyway

There's no room to move in here and there's nowhere else to go where I live. If it were just me I'd be probably trying to only have a bit by myself and failing, so at least I'll be having beer and not loads of wine. I'll try and find a way of saying to him that I must be mindful of when I'm not drinking, no matter what his own plans are.

I think, if I'm honest, I do still have a problem with alcohol and might fight it for a long time. But at least I'm fighting it and not giving in, even if at the moment I'm not doing as well as I wanted to with it.

As well as realising I still have a problem, I've also learnt that if I have only one day AF it's not enough to bring my tolerance down and get out of the habit. It has to be at least two days AF in a row.

I also hate drinking. It's great the first glass or two, but after that it becomes a waste of time and ruins the next day and I'm less energetic. So if I could get to the point where I have the two enjoyable ones and then stop, that would be good.

Too much to do still, I'm at the stage where I thought I only had a few bits to do, but discovered a massive load more stuff to pack. So many little ticking off lists all over the place!! I'm organised, really I am

Hope you're all doing ok, and better than ok

12/18 AFD please shaggy

You're doing well Piggles, you really are. How many AFDs did you have last February? I'll bet it wasn't 12. Great that you are getting a bit of help with your packing, you'll get twice as much done in half the time.


19/29 AFDs for me tonight.

Had two small g&ts last night - most enjoyable, and pleased that I didn't indulge further. Fresh as a daisy this morning. Today will be AFD so 16/23 please shaggy. Have a good Saturday everyone. And remember, whether you hit target this month or not, what really matters is the choice you make today. Xxx
