Everyone Welcome! It's never too late to join....
Please highlight your AFDs in Red
Don't hesitate to let me know if I've made a mistake!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.0 -
Roll up, Roll up. A New Month, A New Challenge.SET YOUR30 days up for grabs!

What are people defining as a "alcohol low day"?0

Back from my Easter break which was decidedly ALD. No actual AFDs but no lunchtime drinking or bottles of wine in my hotel room (both of which I'd have done before) so I'm pleased with that.
I'm finding it hard to shake of a fluey cold so don't really feel like drinking. AF yesterday.
10 AFDs please Shaggy
and thank you for posting my April target.0 -
Definitely not drinking tonight, so March totals so far: 17 AFD, 13 AD, so 17/20 for me pleaseWhat goes around comes around.....I hope!0

Evening lovelies :wave:
Survived the Easter break without alcohol so am delighted to say 30/31 for me please Shaggy. No drinking planned for tomorrow as I want to do the whole month AF :j
Same for April - 30 days AF is my target (still have half the Easter school holibobs to get through though...)0 -
hi all
I've managed another AFD yesterday, and tonight I have a big dilemma. I can't drink tomorrow night because I'm up before 7am the next day, so tonight is the only time I could.
A large part of me says don't bother tonight either and then I'll hopefully have had 4 days in a row without. I've never done that ever, but there's also a part of me that says last chance saloon! And then there's the bit of me that wants to see if I can drink in moderation, but that might just be an excuse to have more than moderation. And then back comes the why bother with any, I'll only be disappointed.
Why do I want to drink? I don't know the reason really apart from I'm not ready to change. But I can see I might want to, and then I think well then I can have some because now I know I can change I don't need to bother today. But I can't change unless I try.
So there's a big fight in my brain for this evening. It's a lovely spring evening, and I have no idea which to do. I nearly deleted this and went to the fridge.
Apologies for airing my battles, as at this morning:
9/10 AFD please shaggyand can I have a slightly higher target of 12 for April. thank you!

25/26 AFDs today0

26/27 AFDs and victory is in sight!
Piggles I hope the internal battle has been won. You've done really well considering the upheavals, stresses and fleas you've had to contend with. Have the fleas been wiped out?What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?0
