    7/10 for April please Shaggy. Maman and Honeybear thank you for your encouragement. I don't know how to quote parts of posts but Maman in answer to your question my plan is basically to have fewer drinking days than AF days and to keep my units down to sensible levels; sounds simple when I write it down but it will be a huge thing for me.

    Sorry to be so terse but posting on an I-Pad and really struggling to move onto new line!
    Good luck with the move back to Vietnam Annie, hope it is all you want it to be - it would be lovely to hear how you are getting on.

    good evening everyone! 21/28, please Shaggy. April has turned out to be a bit of a hiccup - caused by my weakening of the no alcohol at home rule. I'm determined to be on track for May, rule will be back in force, so I will set the target to 28 and try to post more often as I do think it helps to focus. On a more positive note, I am slowly chipping away at my weight - so all the more reason to stay off the booze!

    Many, many congratulations to all hitting or exceeding target :T.

    Morning all 27/21 and 2/2 for me today thanks. :)

    Barny, good luck in the London marathon!!! Go Barny :T:T:T:T:T :)
  • Early post for me to motivate me not to drink today, as am off to the Harrogate flower show and would normally have a glass or two of fizz whilst there (the only time I ever drink during the day).

    My birthday tomorrow so am signing up for 4 for the WDC please Shaggy, as would be nice to have the option to drink, not sure if I want to yet. Yesterday was day 40 without alcohol. Last time I stopped for Stoptober, I spent the first month waiting for the night I could drink again, then when I got to month two, wasn't so sure I wanted to risk it! After a month I do start to lose the habitual part of drinking.

    2/2 WEC if we have been doing it? Must keep up to date and post more often.

    28/28 April
