            Hi all, I predict 6/28  and 122 AFS's in a row  (Ooh!) and a twiddly daisy tomorrow.

           Talking about targets. make them easily achievable e.g. no beer today - when that's done, set another easy one rather than (say) "Right! 6 weeks without a drink!" because after two days it'll still seem miles away. Also ( as we're money-saving), put some change in a jar (or whatever your chosen method) and use that saved cash for something specific as a  bigger target (£5 a day towards an MR2 here!).

            Just my thoughts, could be total twaddle as normal!
    Now a gainfully employed bassist again - WooHoo!

    Declaring early to keep myself on track 2/18 please for today, Wednesday. 

    Welcome back Pollyanna24. I too have wandered back to drinking every day so hope to reset over August. 
    My drinking has also crept up over lockdown and I got to 4-5 days a week drinking over a bottle of wine each time. 

    My body is feeling it and it has concerned me. So I’m also resetting. Aiming for 2 days a week but if I slip to 3 I won’t let it put me off trying. By September I would like to be in a consistent routine again. 

    3/18 for me please 
    Our bodies have a way of letting us know Cuppa. They do a marvelous job of detoxing but sometimes we overwhelm them 😕. Well done on recognising and doing something about it. X
    Very true and thank you. 
    Live for the moment and plan for the future
  • Saturday night off so 5/12 for me, Thanks.
    Nothing to see here, move along.
