    4/28 for tonight please Baileys
    15 in a row - I know that is not a big deal to the folks who managed dry January (and more) but I always seem to fall off the wagon somewhere between 7 in a row and 11 in a row and I think this is my first 15 in a row since last January so it is a big deal to me

    Just want to echo what Bailey's has said - it's a huge thing. When I drank I couldn't manage three AF days in a row - I'd get drunk on the third day, not just stop at one or two, either. That went on for a decade. Well done.

    5/28 please, Baileys.
    Better is good enough.

    I think it's brilliant hearing how people are proud of their achievements:T. We spend enough time beating ourselves up over perceived shortcomings.


    Hopefully I'll get a good run at my target this week.


    2/10 AFDs please Baileys.

    Hi everyone, sorry I've been AWOL.

    Baileys, you've taken to this like a duck to water. Do you have a smilies list or something to pick from?

    Paspatur, I think you're doing brilliant. I'm doing this stretch cos I'm in a bet with a friend and I know if I drink the kids will shop me.
    I don't drink outside the house so can't sneak a quick trip to a pub.

    Currently on 5/28
