Giving up/ Cutting Down Alcohol Thread Part 16

AnnieG

Hello, 16/25 today. I have told my friends that I'm booze free for a couple of weeks... they laughed at me and then said ok, good for you. Just hope there's no peer pressure when I see them.

Happy belated birthday cathybird! 

Couldn't post yesterday, but was AF and will also be today, so 13/20 today. Thinking I might get to target after all as only have one planned night out until the 31st 🤞

Afternoon all!
What a busy thread. Well done everyone. Lots of targets and AF days being achieved. 
Nearly faltered the other day. Had a film crew in for an upcoming TV show and we had such a great laugh with them all. Of course, the people being filmed had staged drinks during filming then proper drinks after along with the non - driving film crew. As i'd ended up being filmed as well it was tempting to join in and have a few too but i side stepped it. Once it was done i went out for "boys night" for which i arrived 2 hours late (sorry filming over ran 😆 😂!) to a tipsy bunch  already well on their way! After the excitement of the day it was soooooooo tempting to get a beer like everyone else but i dug deep and stayed strong. Calling in for tonight too, taking me to 22 AF so far. 

Have a good day all.

I would love to read some of the early posts; is there a way of getting to the beginning of the thread other than pressing the back button 621 times?😕
Well done on day 2 Smushesma. 👏🏼👏🏼

Thanks @marahouti! 😊 
If you're on your phone, turn your phone sideways - that should give you a page 1option 😉

Be a leader, not a follower!

Roll UP Roll UP .... MON-THURS School Night Challenge

Everyone one is welcome to join and so far we have the lovely :-



Bearacus
Maman
Shaggy

Can I join?? I think small goals might help me start. Weekend was a boozy affair with a weekend away in a boutique hotel for a friends birthday. However, despite other half and myself being party boys we managed to keep a lid on it and not end up "minging" and hungover for this mornings check out! M.P

Present day. 

After all the discussion of the history of the thread, I searched back over my posts and it seems I joined way back in April 2012 as part of a "School Night Challenge" which was AF Mon - thursday, led by the lovely "Bearacus" who doesn't seem to post anymore. "Shaggy" was posting back then too and is still around as well as "Cathybird". I'd actually forgotten i used to post virtually under my actual name but later changed it so i was less identifiable. M.P X

ManPants  you are another long time contributor🙂, you must have seen some changes.
I am a relative newbie in comparison, I joined in April 2019, but I have seen people come and go. I wonder how many people have been helped by this thread even if they only stay for a short time?

Been flat out at work so never got to the shops, had a cider with tea so today is a not a AF day. Still 5 days in a row.
