    As always I hope to beat it but I find it easier to give myself 'permission' and then change my mind than to have a drink and feel guilty because I won't make target. X

    Same for me but I'm in admiration of everyone that has some AF days, however many and whichever way works best for them. It's great that this thread is so inclusive.:)

    No drinking here today.

    18/10 AFDs please Shaggy and thanks for all you do for us. :):T

    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.

    Hello everyone. I am up to 12 for the month and 111 for the year.

    I won't meet my target (not that I officially set one) for half the month, but seeing as August is usually a tougher month than normal for me because my children are away for three weeks which normally set me off and then I have time off at the end of the month and if I don't have work the next day, well.... think I've done quite well in comparison to other years.

    (End 2021) - £131,215.25 DID IT!!!
    (End 2022) - Target £116,213.81

    Still reading but not managing AFDs at present. Holidays and a house move have meant I have reverted to daily wine. Not good and needs to stop.

    Struggling to add thank you to the end of the sentence when I change font colour but thank you.

    Shaggy please can you put me down for September for 15 AFDs
