Dark_Sunday

My targets look fine for 2026 @cathybird. Hope you have a prosperous 2026

Well done @redo you've had a very tough year but you have a lot to be proud of. You alerted me to setting a yearly target. I would like 300 AF days for 2026
I am on 22/25 now.
I look puffy and blotchy and I didn't think I had been drinking very much. My body thinks otherwise
I want to echo @redo and thank you for all the work you do to keep us accountable. Happy New Year to all!

Shiny new 2026 thread up and running here  

I know it's not 2026 yet and we've got three or so days to go, but there might be people who have just had quite a boozy festive season and are looking for a way to do differently going forward.

25/25 for me today please. I overdid it on Christmas Day and again last night, which reminded me of how yuk the day after feels!

Hope everyone enjoyed their Christmas.

Hi people. Can I declare early for December. I finished the last drop of my single bottle of booze last night,wont have anymore for new year either.
So thats  26 AFD for December 326 AFD to  for the year..

Sadly I will not be taking part next year. I seem to have things well in check for the last two years,rarely more than 5 alcohol days a month and actually I have had quite a few completely free months this with not od the angst I used to suffer.
Sadly Mr D is declining badly its becoming a full time job taking care of him so I am simplifying my life as much as possible. My old brain cant multitask well so I must discipline myself  to focus on the major things declutter my life habits and mind for the trials ahead
If there are signs of any backsliding into drink I assure you I will be back here like a shot. It may seem ridiculous to some,but I dont know how many times a few years ago when everyday was a serious temptation I would think to myself I really want to see that cat swinging on the crescent moon on my statistics more than a drink. lol.
Best wishes to all of you keep strong
Happy New Year

Thanks for posting @dustydigger and many congratulations on getting your drinking under control. 

So sorry to hear that life is so hard for you. I know you'll come back if you need to but do drop by and say hello now and again. 

Thinking of you. 🤗

Vanlady

Echoing Maman, well done dusty d for getting things under control. And sorry to hear of your troubles.
The cat swinging on the moon is a gift isn't it

22/21 for me please cathybird.....horse and carriage here we come!

satchmo1

26/25 for me today please.

Wishing you peace, @dustydigger ... if it doesn't offend you, I'll keep you and Mr DD in my prayers.
