It's great to hear about your other targets. Well done to you both! I'm in full admiration.:T


Off the blocks today. It's horribly wet and miserable here so hot drinks called for.:D


1/10 AFDs please Baileys.

Aw thanks Honey Bear and maman The support of this group just makes everything so much easier!

Today definitely not an AFD for me tho as I'm going for drinks at lunchtime with a work colleague, ha ha Totally looking forward to it but will be back in the saddle again tomorrow.

Hello! Thought I'd join in. I don't normally do a monthly target, I just try to do as well as I can, but I thought I would do one this month.

19 which is pretty ambitious, but is just all the Monday to Thursdays in the month. And gives me some leeway as I hope to not drink on Sundays as well, but if I do, ah well. 19 is a big number and bigger than I have managed in any month, but we will see.

I'm up to 1 so far this month, haha. Didn't even really give drink a thought after dinner yesterday. I felt like I wanted something as a treat, but for once, it didn't necessarily have to be alcohol.

My target for the year is 183. I just want to be able to say I've done 50% of the year not drinking. I'm up to 56, so 46.28%. Need to up my game!

Thanks for the welcome back. I have been reading but posting as well as reading definitely helps to make me more accountable. Sad at my advanced age and general decrepitude that I need to tell others to make me think do I want that as opposites to either 'oh s*d it' or more often 'I have had such a day I deserve a drink'. Neither very helpful. But posting early and confidently as there is no alcohol in the house I would drink 2/15 for May please. Thank Baileys for keeping the totals too.

maggiem I don't think it has anything to do with age or decrepitude, well I like to think it doesn't, ha ha :rotfl:If you're just reading then it's kept private but if you announce it it makes it public.The sense that other people are watching is a very powerful influence for most people and one that can be a force for bad as well as good, but in the case of this thread, it's all good! I get the feeling you're beating yourself up a bit, please don't, there's no need, and I'm not sure it helps at all, you know? The main thing is that you're here, and being here is definitely a good thing for all of us. x
