    April being a disaster I am going to just get to the end of the month. Thank you @cathybird and @sukeyboo for your kind comments.

    I did manage a few a/f days last week I think but really need to take myself in hand.  There are 3 days left until the end of the month and I will make 2 of those a/f which for me at the moment is a big commitment.

    Then for May I will aim for 18 days.
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!

    Hi all, 28 please. |Not much else to report!
    Now a gainfully employed bassist again - WooHoo!
  • 28 please cathybird, due to the couple of social things I did have planned cancelling April is likely to be completely AF. Undecided for May. Normally I’d start my long, dry summer in May but if the cancelled socials from April re-schedule for May then I may need a little leeway.

    (That’s a long-winded way of saying, could I please have a target of 29 for May, thank you v much cathybird.)

    24 please, I'm still very much limiting drinking and being conscious about quantity when I do drink these days. Last night my wife and I went out for a meal and I had one of the biggest reminders to stay on this path. Actually starting to feel grateful for the choices I made now.

    23/24 please for Sunday. Almost to target but I won’t exceed it as I am having a planned day with wine on Tuesday. 

    Also (I think you may have missed it Cathybird) but I will try for 15AFDs for May. We are away from mid month so I will be having a drink whilst on holiday although trying to keep the amount reasonable. I don’t like drinking at lunchtime usually so that helps.
