Hello
7/25 today. I have got a work do on Friday where there will be pressure to drink and I don't want to ruin the first weekend of my 28 day challenge so am worrying about it already. 

Tell people you're driving, and fill up with soda and lime (You, not the car).

Or on antibiotics, that’s my fave one

I live in Vietnam and don't drive a car otherwise that would be perfect. Might go with antibiotics, or tell the truth and say I've got an early fitness class the next day... it's at 10.30 which isn't really early but I don't want a hangover when I'm going to be cycling for 1.5 hours

Hello Everyone

Still going strong with 13/31 completed days so far.

Good morning all,

14/28 for me today. More significantly, this is it, I am now at 200 consecutive days since I last had any alcohol. 6 and a half months plus a few odd days. The encouragement on this thread has been a great help and I must particularly thank cathybird for keeping the totals. We’ve heard a lot about a ‘circuit break’ the last few days, but this is more like a complete re-wiring for me.

We are on day 288 so far this year and I have only had 9 non-AF days in that time. October will not be another completely AF month as I have some social things coming up that were postponed or rescheduled from earlier this year due to you-know-what, so I need to think about how I am going to manage that.

Annie I'd be tempted to mutter something about not drinking because it affects my fitness training the next day. I've used painkillers and antibiotics and calories in the past. Shame we can't just stick at because I don't want to/choose to today. 

Season of Mist - Wow! Congratulations on 200 days! What changes have you noticed from before your circuit breaker?

Seasons of Mist - congratulations 👏👏👏. Fantastic achievement. 

Declaring early for today Wednesday so 12/21.Tomorrow will be a planned drinking day as meeting friends for lunch but hopefully cat on moon smiley by the weekend.

Wahey! MoonCat day for me! 14/28, 75 out of 76 since end on July. Anyway, what do people drink in Vietnam? (Sounds like a joke...)
