Hello everyone.. definitely won't be meeting my target this month unfortunately as I decided to have a glass of wine last night with my valentine's meal (the recipe I made used white wine and I had some left over so didn't want it to go to waste...)
Today will be 12/25 for me though!
Hope everyone is well

Hi all, late night, got home 0120 (Football at Lewes - 1-1 draw!).
Woo! It's balloon-chasing dog day and 660 drink-free days (excluding Menorca!).
Auditions for new singer start Monday, we have 7 weeks to find a replacement....Now a gainfully employed bassist again - WooHoo!5 -
Hello everyone, Is it okay if I join?
I had every intention of doing dry January but failed after drinking on the 1st! Was AF until the last weekend when we went to a birthday celebration. I am determined to complete February AF, 14 days so far but I'm being tested!
I joined the gym in September wanting to lose the wine baby...I did go to the gym 3/4 days a week but also drank (wine) 5/6 days a week 🤦♀️
My husband doesn't drink during the week but we have a small group of friends that we ~socialise~ drink with on a weekend. This increased from Friday after work to Saturday, then including Sunday too! I would then probably not drink Mon, tue, before starting again on wine Wednesday!
Since January I have been going to the gym 6 days a week, work full time and I am knackered!
My husband (of 20 years) and friends continue to ask every fri/sat/sun if I am 'socialising' today and I'm fed up of it!
Valentines day (okay so we think its a con) but always give a small token of a card and he gets me a fiver bunch of flowers. This year- no card, no flowers, not even a text! Am I missing something? Has anyone experienced this with partners/friends when trying to be AF?
