    13/28 for me today please, quite annoyed with myself that 1 single pint has broken my run and knocked me off track for the month. Should've been earning my 14 day smiley today :(


    Looks like I'm on track for 29 days AF this month, possibly 30. The night out with the boys that was planned for the end of the month has been moved to Sunday 1st April, after that I'm going to try and stay AF until 30th June.
    You can have results or excuses, but not both.

    Hi Sie2003 and Doingitanyway! :wave::wave: Welcome to the thread and best of luck with it all. :)

    It's not a AFD for me, got two social occasions on but I will be dropping in anyway to keep track just for the sake of it.

    Thank you Wanna Bee Free it is quite amazing considering I probably have not gone 50 days AF in over 30 years although I did do 40 last Jan/Feb
    And huge well done to Fatrab for stopping at 1 pint, not sure I could do that although if I chose T's lager I could stop at one sip!!! Vile stuff
    Now on 14/31 for yesterday and today please Baileys
    And big welcome to new people

    That's exactly what I was thinking as I was drinking it! £3.50 for a pint of yellow toilet water. If I do take a drink from now on it'll be something worth drinking!


    Well done hitting 50 days :)

    If anyone had asked you three months ago if you'd care one way or the other about earning a happy clappy smiley, I think most of us would think, 'Are you nuts?' You'll get it tomorrow, so all is not lost. It's amazing how quickly that not-drinking can become as addicitive, as we rack up the numbers.

    14/31 please, Baileys.
    Better is good enough.

    Thank you for all the lovely welcomes.

    I am claiming my 2nd AFD today. Telling myself there is nothing wrong with a lunchtime tipple but no intention of having one. I am off work tomorrow so I will shopping for some nice teas. Maybe I am fooling myself but I think I feel a bit 'clearer' today if that makes sense.

    Anyway hope you are all having a good day

    2/15 for me thanks Bailey :)

    Doh, just realised it isn't Bailey-so-nice (although you are) It is Baileys-on-ice. :)
