Hey all! I don’t know the codes or anything but happy everyone’s doing well in this thread, well is a day at least!
I wish I joined months ago, I didn’t know this existed - I have gone 61 days with no alcohol whatsoever, reason was to save money!
I have now cleared my CC debt (was around £2000 2 months ago!), feel happier, made £400 as employee of the quarter runner up, and saved around £207 I would’ve spent on wine (based on usual levels).Think I’ll keep it up 👍🏾Current debt-free wannabe stats:Credit cards: £9,705.31 | Loans: £4,419.39 | Student Loan (Plan 1): £11,301.00 | Total: £25,425.70Debt-free target: 21-Feb-2027

Morning 7/17 for me today please. First smiley in woo hoo3

Morning annetheman, the 'code' is quite simple - the first number is how many AFDs (alcohol free days) you've had this month, followed by your self-selected monthly target of AFDs. If you 'declare early', that means you said you won't drink today/night. As you reach a target, Cathybird gives you the appropriate smiley! After 7 days you get
for example. (Yes, it's Santa with his finger in a plug socket!) So for me today....
Morning all, declaring early so it's 8/28 for me.
Now a gainfully employed bassist again - WooHoo!4 -
Welcome anntheman. Rob has explained it very well and cathybird will be along later to add you to the list if you wish. You have done extremely well on your own but, speaking personally, this thread and being part of a community really helps.
I am 7/20 for yesterday please cathy. Thank you. X2 -
Good to see you posting annetheman. You're very welcome to join. The thread has been running for many years but it's been particularly helpful during lockdown when so many people seem to have increased their drinking (and eating). 😊
I was at a funeral yesterday and strong drink was taken. Back on the wagon today.
4/10 AFDs please Cathy
