    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.

    After a heavy weekend (Fri/Sat/Sun) when I went way over the weekly recommended amounts, I will definitely be AF today.


    4/20 for me please so far this month.
    What goes around comes around.....I hope!

    6/27 AFDs for today. I've been out for a run in the sunshine today - the first time since I injured my ankle on 30th December. I didn't go far or go fast, but I didn't have any pain, so I'm pleased with myself. I'm not ready for parkrun yet, but it won't be long.
    What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?

    Hi all :)

    One more for me last night. It's a bit like pulling teeth! I'm getting somewhere I think, busy week ahead and carpet measuring so I can finally throw out the old one that was unfortunately the same 'orrible colour I grew up with. Mysterious subliminal decision, that :o

    And I think I've got fleas :eek: Not me exactly but I'm covered in bites head to toe and there was cat hair in the bathroom. Flea treatment has changed since I had my cat in a previous place so I'll ask in the pet section.

    When I do drink my alcohol consumption is now massive :( I'm giving myself a break about it till I'm properly settled and not tripping over stuff I can't put away till the carpets are done.

    Understandably it's still a bit stressful but I really want to get to the point where things are where they should be and I can concentrate on me and sobriety. There was a time last autumn when I hadn't had a single AFD for years, so at least when I lapse I still have AFDs now :)

    As far as I know, it's having a low amount of alcohol (set by yourself, shaggy uses 4 units but you can pick your own maximum) and there's totals at the bottom of the AFD totals for people's ALDs if they want to count them.

    2/10 AFD please shaggy :)

    5/22 AFDs and 2/TF ALDs please shaggy

    I think that's correct as I've had 5 days alcohol free and 2 days low alcohol.
