8/10 please - think this is likely to be last AF day until August now. Hope everyone has achieved want they want or at least some AFDs in July. I'm hoping for better in August.

Thank you maman for the recommendation. I watched this yesterday, quite a shocker. For me the pandemic helped to reduce my drinking but for many others (including my husband sadly) it has led to a huge increase in alcohol consumption. It does seem that we on this thread/community have 'bucked the trend'.maman said:
Exactly what I'd like to say too!!sukeyboo said:Some amazing totals coming in - well done to alt80, cathybird, marahouti & Rob99 for exceeding your already high targets 👏. Also congratulations to everyone else for managing some AFD’s even if you haven’t reached target, life just gets in the way sometimes and a new month starts on Sunday 😀.
13/10 for me today please - this will probably be the last for me for July.
And thanks @cathybird for keeping our scores.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
There's a programme about problem drinking on ITV tonight at 7.30 p.m. Might be of interest. 🤔
