    Does anybody else count their units per month too?

    I started to for a few days and stopped once I got to the govt rec weekly amount in a couple of days. Probably should.

    6 here still as I didn’t have any AFDs on holiday and got into holiday mode a few days early. Planning 3 more next Mon - Wed. Out Thu but might feel inspired to be AF if I make Mon - Wed ok. Please can I have a target of 16 for February, thanks Shaggy! Well done to your whole family for dry January!!

    Me! I have a big spread sheet going back 10 years in AFDs and units - these days I try to beat previous records - so, for example, I'm trying to get to 30 in January as that is my previous PB for January (I can't get to 31 as I had a drink NYD).....
    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.

    loveasale, I've been known to say "I'm just not feeling very well" if people ask why I'm not drinking, and they normally stop asking, or if someone asks what's wrong I'll say "Dunno, just feeling off." It seems to work. If yours are a more persistent crowd the antibiotics excuse seems a good one!

    I have a spreadsheet too! But I have never been as low as 30, that is brilliant :T
