Morning everyone 17/28 for me today, declaring early as I am getting big news today. Results of a harassment case I raised in work is being decided today after 11 months of investigations. Determined to stay strong and sober. Alcohol will not help in this situation. .....

Good luck xxlalxx, hope it went well for you, sounds tough, workplaces can be such difficult places.

17 please.

Re drinking days, I’m not sure tbh. Might try to see whole month or may use my two days.

Late post, thank you Cathy, it went well for me today, both complaints 2016 and 2020 upheld. I celebrated by ordering Taco Bell as a treat. I can't sleep, I think its only really sinking in now. 
18/28 for me today and a busy weekend of moving house ahead so I have no plans to drink this weekend.... have a good day everyone. Cuppa nice to meet you xxx

Good all round for you. Doesn't sound like you'll have time for a drink!
Another AFD here for today so 12/24 please.

Welcome back Cuppa! I think one of the nicest things about this thread right at the start was a recognition this isn't easy and even one day is a victory. I have been re-reading from the start and it has been lovely to see how many people come back after a break. It's like an old friend with the big snuggly wagon and hands ready to help people up. And some people will worry if posters drop off suddenly but that has always happened too. Still on 7/13 here.

Thank you everyone for your warm welcomes. Nice to meet you too xxlalxx. 

I’ve caught up with the thread. People seem to be doing really well at the moment. I know it sounds daft, but I feel like when I’m not doing so well, I don’t belong here. But I know it’s the very place I should be. Lockdown hasn’t helped as I used to have several nights a week when I’d be driving and I’d also do the SNC. 

I think I’ll go TF for the rest of February and take Maman’s approach of a low and achievable target for March. Normally I’d set one of 18/19. As March is a long month starting on a Monday I think I’ll set one of 15. 

Have a good day all.
