    17/24 for me today please.

    Very sad to hear that a driver was killed this afternoon by flying debris on a road I drove down just half an hour prior.

    To a much lesser degree, a friends car port blew off from the front of his house and ended up in his back garden.
    What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?

    Hi each - the dangers of booze! Two dancing ladies fell over the monitors on Wednesday onto the stage - thankfully not in short skirts! Band (not mine) stopped mid-song to rescue said red-faced ladies! Our set went well though. Gigging again tonight in Grays.
    Enough of that - 18/28 here, 0.0% Leffe last night!
    Now a gainfully employed bassist again - WooHoo!

    Thanks for the congratulations!  Satchmo1, that is a bit close for comfort, makes it feel more real somehow.

    Another couple of days AF - am at 18/26 now.  It is really helping with my weight loss as well.  It wasn't just the calories I consumed when drinking, it was the calories I would eat the next day when feeling "delicate".  Have managed to lose 13lb since the start of the year which is at least partly down to not drinking (with the exception of two days this year).

    BOOM!  Great stuff!    My post yesterday contained a small amount of twaddle - it was, of course, 19/28 not 18. Therefore you Rachel Riley types will deduce that today is 20/28 here.

    Hello all.
    I didn't post yesterday because I was meeting friends and thought I might have a drink. In the end I decided not to and stuck to fizzy water. So 20/25 today please cathybird. Thank you. X

    Fell off the path completely this month. Initially the first week I was stressed with work, lacking motivation and tired. Last week I was on holiday. I did manage a rare AF Saturday as I drove back from a restaurant. Home Thursday but still wanted to drink. Self pity over rubbish holiday weather and two of our group getting Covid bringing a much hoped-for holiday to a depressingly early close. An expensive week has left me low and tired. Back to the joys of work today.  I need to restart today which will be 3/13 AF.
