    Emoji day today please.. day 14! 

    What is everybody up to this weekend? 

    I'm planning a quiet one but it is my nephew's birthday meal on Sunday. Will be the first big family event that I won't be drinking alcohol at, but expecting it to be fine. 

    Have a good one! 
    The weather is atrocious ⛈️ and likely to remain so this weekend so I shall be hunkering down with my book. Good luck with your first AF family event. X

    Emoji day for me today, 14/25 please cathybird. Today is my longest dry streak, 200 days 😊. That would have been unimaginable not so long ago. This thread and the emojis have played a big part in making it possible, thank you. X 
    Wow! Congratulations! 200 days is an incredible achievement!

    Thank you everyone. I haven't given up drinking altogether (don't want to) but there are fewer and fewer occasions where I want to. For now I will see how far I can get with a Sober Summer. X
    15/25 today please cathybird. Thank you. X
    200 days is really a great achievement marahouti, it is obvious now but it sort of dawned on me during my dry spell last year, that not drinking can become a habit too (obviously a virtuous one). 

    I am still maintaining my own dry summer and today is exactly three months since I last had any alcohol. 100 days AF is not far off at all.

    15/31 please cathybird, thank you.
