    Fingers and toes crossed for you, arsenalbarnie xx :( Waiting is hard!
  • Sorry you've had a tough hospital visit Barnie, and I'm sorry to year about your friend Marahouti. Life is crap sometimes.

    On 8/29 for June, and I managed 4/5 for the SNC. Aiming for 5 next week, despite being away for work which is always a bit of a trigger.

    ArsenalBarnie sorry to hear how tough things are right now, I hope they get better for you soon.
    I think one great thing about this thread is that people are all at different stages of their relationship with alcohol.

    I will lead the way in missing targets and being bottom of the leaderboard! But I still have more AFDs because of you lovely people and this thread and it's important there's a low benchmark so people don't feel put off joining the thread. :D

    Popping on to say no days in June so far. Back to it again on Monday.

    Sorry to hear things aren't going smoothly, Arsenal Barnie.

    Thank you everyone for all the lovely kind words. Am off to the pub quiz but have already told my drinking buddies I will be alcohol free tonight. Am definitely looking at an op not sure how drastic yet. Not drinking surely must help me be prepared for it. Drinking also makes my anxiety worse the next day. I don’t need that right now that’s for sure.

    So 1 more afd please Shaggy.
    Total weight lost 6.5/73lbs starting yet again. Afds August 10/15. /8 Sept.

    Have a good evening. :A

    Of course you're feeling anxious. That's very understandable. Well done you on realising that alcohol doesn't help. :T
