  • 4/16 for me thanks @cathybird

    @satchmo1 perhaps your printer is telling you to go away on holiday and forget about printers?

    5/15 talked myself out of it tonight. A hangover and work do not mix.

    7/24 please for yesterday, Tuesday.
  • Yes please to joining in - I've uninstalled Facebook and Instagram so I'm not getting the (albeit limited) support I was getting there.

    I went completely alcohol free a couple of years ago and lasted for about 10 months, then Christmas came and habits crept in. I never feel rested after having a drink. It's calories I don't need and expense I could do without.

    Since the 20th of March I've had 11 dry days (according to the Try Dry app). Aiming for teetotal. I'll go back and read the rules now 😅
  • 10/24 for me please - it's a hard one today, lots of things going on and I would normally just have a drink and try to relax about it all but there's no point in heading down that rabbit hole again! 🤦‍♀️

  • 5/16 please @cathybird

    I would like to confess to a load of strangers on the internet that I am in bed with a glass of milk at 8:30pm and feels like perhaps the naughtiest thing I have ever done. 
  • Right, think I've got it. My April target is 27, as of tonight I'm at 7/27.
