    Suffering from the after effects this morning.....

    I don't drink for 2/3 months but then drink to excess. I always tell myself 'never again' but then end up repeating old mistakes when I meet up with friends. I envy people that can go out and enjoy themselves without alcohol but I'm not one of them.

    I console myself by saying I haven't touched a drop in months but I know that's no defence to 'bingeing ' on occasions.

    We've got a number of birthdays in the family later this month including DH so I want to get as many AF days as possible while I can.

    Yeah stick me down for all 5 too please :)


    Don't normally post on a Sunday but was on to the main site to look at something (breakdown cover due for renewal (car, not mental :D)) so thought I'd pop in to see what I've missed since Friday!


    Hope you're all having a nice weekend :)
    You can have results or excuses, but not both.
    Challenge - be 14 Stone BY XMAS!

    Green Karen, I reckon you have done 29 so far this year - I thought maybe if you were going to aim for 70 from here on in you could aim for 100 overall?

    Thanks for doing that Cathybird, that's a really good idea to aim for 100 as it's a nice round figure.

    1/14 AF for Sep please.
  • Good morning all

    2/22 to report please Shaggy.

    Will most likely be an AF week as after fixing the car the weekend we have no spare cash that I can, in good conscience, spend on wine :D Plus its back to school for Piglet Thursday so want to give him a good last few days of his hols.

    Hope everyone managed the weekends they intended. I was actually quite proud of myself as haven't had an AF weekend in as long as I can remember. The only thing that may scupper me this week is a visit to my brothers for his Birthday. He works from home so I'm hoping to get over there during the day rather than the evening which tends to turn a tad boozy :o

    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.
