This year all of us together have achieved 2,717 AFDs, according to my annual challenge spreadsheet, which is more than 7 years' worth of AFDs! That's something to be proud of xxxย

I am going to finish this month on 27/24, only had four non-AF days, I think thatโs right? ย Just really have no strong wish to drink this evening.ยI will have to double-check but I think Iโve only drank on 16 occasions this calendar year and this includes a 6-month plus total break from it in one long dry spell over the whole of summer and into autumn.May I please have a target of 28 for Jan 2025, thank you.7 -
Happy New Year to everyone on the thread and hope 2025 is a wonderful year for you all xx5

Happy New Year everyone. See you on the new thread. X
I decided not to drink this evening so I amย 30/25ย for December pleaseย cathybird.ย Thank you. X4 -
Hello Everyone,ย
Happy New Year!ย
Declaring 31 for December!ย
Tomorrow is my 140th unbroken day of being alcohol free!ย 20 weeks in other words which means that in 6 weeks I will have completed 6 months. What is keeping me going these days, is the thought that if I were to drink I would be straight back to day 1 again. The other thing for me is - during the split & divorce, out of pure sadness -ย I started to recreationally add in stuff that would make you think I was in the Rolling Stones!ย I currently reside in a country where prison life isn't like it is like in England so it is even more of a reason NOT to even have a sip of alcohol incase it led to something else.ย
Last night I had a sober NYE party in a very lavish resort. I worked out it was only my second sober NYE since I was 18 which no amount of lying and Botox can make out was in recent years!!ย
I've had a scan through before posting - well done on so many great achievements all of you! Please, please keep logging in & don't let your life unravel like I did with mine.ย
All the very best for 2025!
