    22 please. Really awful day that wouldn’t have been made better by drinking or anything else. Pleased I’ve chosen this path.
    You should be so proud of yourself. I'm sure your family and friends are. It's a tough path, very well done👏👏

    Rob, think your target is 29 - did you want to change it?

    @Cathybird Yes, 29 not 21 (I only choose 29 so I can get a full set of emojis! Maybe we could have a "Whole Month one - you know, massed angel choir in the sky :wink: ). Those dastardly digits! 

          That's 263 AFDs in a row now (My £5-in-a-jar-per-AFD has saved me £1315 in 2021). Still don't fancy a drink - crikey, what a turnaround... I've gone from panicking because 'the offy opens in 20 minutes' to really not wanting to drink at all. They must think I've died!  Sometimes I fancy the actual flavour - not the effect anymore -  but it's partly the volume of drink I like, the actual physical action. I drink soda and lime now when out, 3 pints easy but I now have no interest in alcohol at all. I even have some Leffe 0.0% that's been in the fridge a week! I Don't drink, smoke, not on any med's - I feel like Adam And The Ants!

    As previously mentioned, many alc' frees are just not great, although I think the Leffe 0.0 is tasty for sure. "Noughty Bear" is a decent amber ale but not easy to find. 

    Anyways, rehearsal last night cancelled at the last minute - grr.


    Now a gainfully employed bassist again - WooHoo!
